Job description

In today's dynamic worksites, seamless collaboration between people and machines is essential. FORT's platform ensures safe, secure, and dynamic control that surpasses legacy systems and next-generation AI capabilities.

The Vice President, Marketing will lead FORT's global marketing function, spanning brand and communications, demand generation, and product marketing. This leader will scale the company's pipeline well over 100% year over year, build a world-class brand worthy of a leading publicly traded company, and deliver top-tier product marketing and content that covers the full buyer's journey.

  • Own the demand generation strategy and execution plan, growing qualified pipeline more than 100% year over year.
  • Direct brand and communications programs that reach prospects, customers, and investors, preparing FORT's brand for life as a public company.
  • Deliver product marketing and content assets that support every stage of the customer journey, from awareness through adoption.
  • Partner with Sales and the Chief Revenue Officer to align messaging, campaigns, and go-to-market priorities.
  • Apply innovation, including AI agents, to multiply the effectiveness of sales and marketing.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree.
  • 7+ years of experience in enterprise B2B marketing.
  • Experience marketing both hardware and software to enterprise customers.
  • Ability to travel up to 30%.
  • Experience in the robotics or IoT industries.
  • A proven track record in product marketing at a strong, recognized brand.
  • Fluency in using AI agents as part of the customer journey.

Base salary range: $200,000-$250,000 based on experience and location.
Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision insurance; unlimited PTO; stock options; 3% 401(k) match, paid holidays, and parental leave.
