Head of Marketing

Parasail is redefining AI infrastructure by enabling seamless deployment across a distributed network of GPUs, optimizing for cost, performance, and flexibility. Our mission is to empower AI developers with a fast, cost-efficient, and scalable cloud experience-free from vendor lock-in and designed for the next generation of AI workloads.

About the Role

We're hiring our first Head of Marketing, a strategic and hands-on leader who will build Parasail's marketing function from scratch.

You'll work closely with the founding team and have significant visibility and impact across the business.

You'll thrive here if you're equally excited to drive strategy and write a killer blog post, test new growth experiments, and build our presence in the AI infrastructure ecosystem
