VP Marketing

Updater is seeking a strategic, commercially minded Vice President of Marketing to lead our next stage of growth. This is a unique leadership opportunity spanning two distinct disciplines: B2B SaaS enterprise platform marketing and large-scale D2C consumer acquisition.

You’ll shape how enterprise customers understand and adopt Updater’s technology while leading large-scale consumer acquisition programs that convert demand into orders. We’re looking for a leader who brings deep expertise across both disciplines and can connect them to a cohesive growth strategy.

Reporting to the Chief Revenue Officer, you’ll lead marketing strategy and execution across product marketing, performance marketing, go-to-market, user engagement, brand, and marketing operations. You’ll inherit an established, high-performing team and significant marketing investments, with the opportunity to elevate our market position and accelerate growth.

You’ll also partner closely with Updater’s current VP of Marketing, who will remain actively involved in the business as a strategic partner, providing continuity, context, and support as you establish the strategy and priorities for the team. We’re looking for someone who can simplify our narrative, make smart investment decisions, inspire a talented team, and deliver meaningful business results.
