As the founding member of the marketing team, you will help develop marketing function, scale repeatable operating processes, and implement the right systems, tools, and workflows.

• Content & Creative: Partner with Design and Product teams to produce campaigns, collateral, and creative assets that reinforce Summation’s brand and messaging.

• Track record of running campaigns across paid and organic channels and translating results into business impact.
• Strong analytical skills; comfort with experimentation frameworks, funnel metrics (LTV/CAC, conversion), and reporting tools.
• Demonstrated ability to build marketing processes and implement marketing systems (HubSpot, attribution platforms, automation tools).
• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills; able to influence stakeholders across teams.
• A self-starter who thrives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and is motivated to build from zero to one.

• Familiarity with SQL, BI tools, or advanced analytics.
• Prior exposure to finance, operations, or enterprise SaaS buyers.
