Marketing Manager

We're looking for a Marketing Manager who thrives on variety. This is a role for someone who loves solving different marketing challenges every day rather than specializing in a single function.

This isn't a role where you'll own one channel or one vertical. Instead, you'll work across nearly every aspect of marketing - helping build the Sound brand, supporting our portfolio companies, and partnering on incubation projects as new companies come to life.

One day you might be planning a founder dinner, building a presentation, or preparing for a conference. The next, you could be conducting a brand audit on a prospective investment, helping shape messaging for a portfolio company, or developing positioning for an incubated startup.

We're a lean team, so everyone wears multiple hats. The right person is excited to flex different marketing muscles - from brand, product, and event marketing to communications, storytelling, operations, and creative strategy - and is equally comfortable thinking strategically and jumping in to execute.

WHAT YOU'LL DO - Support marketing initiatives across the Sound brand, including presentations, events, digital marketing, content, and marketing operations. - Help plan and execute founder dinners, LP events, conferences, and other community-building experiences. - Support our portfolio marketing efforts by preparing for founder engagements, conducting brand and messaging audits, researching competitive landscapes, and developing strategic recommendations. - Partner with our incubation team on positioning, go-to-market strategy, messaging, creative development, and early marketing initiatives. - Create high-quality presentations and other marketing assets. - Coordinate with external agencies, designers, PR partners, and other creative vendors. - Jump into high-priority marketing projects wherever they're needed and help move them from idea to execution. - Continuously identify ways to improve how marketing operates across the firm and our portfolio.

WHO YOU ARE - 5-7 years of marketing experience preferably at a startup, agency, venture firm, or high-growth company. - Curious, resourceful, and excited by technology, with AI as part of your daily workflow. - Great communicator and storyteller. - Comfortable wearing many hats across different marketing disciplines. - High ownership, low ego, and thrives in ambiguity. - Open to LA-based, with some travel WHY SOUND - Work alongside founders building category-defining companies. - Gain exposure to every dimension of marketing - from brand and communications to product marketing, events, strategy, and company building. - Join a lean, collaborative team where you'll have meaningful ownership from day one. - Help shape both the Sound Ventures brand and the next generation of AI companies.
