Senior Growth Marketing Manager

Runpod is the AI Developer Cloud, used by more than 500,000 developers to build, train, deploy, and serve AI workloads. We are a remote\-first company operating at the intersection of developer experience, production AI infrastructure, and efficient compute economics. The marketing team owns brand, product marketing, content, growth, demand, design, and developer relations for a developer\-first PLG motion with an emerging sales\-assisted enterprise motion. We move fast, ship in public, and make decisions with imperfect data.
