About You:

You are a marketer who operates like a founder. You don’t wait to be handed a brief — you’ve already identified the story, figured out who needs to hear it, and built a plan to get it in front of them. You write well: fast, clear, and with a point of view, able to move between a punchy social post and a substantive piece of content that earns trust with a technical or institutional audience. You understand product marketing at a structural level — positioning, messaging hierarchy, translating complex capability into language that makes someone stop scrolling — and you’ve done that work even if you haven’t always had the title. You’re an operator who builds trust with people who are skeptical of marketing. Launch calendars shift, priorities change, and you adapt without drama — holding the program together by building real relationships with flight ops engineers, program managers, and test pilots, and finding the narrative buried in their work. You think before you post, you ask why before you ask how, and you don’t confuse activity with impact. Merlin is building technology that hasn’t existed before, for customers who haven’t bought anything like it. That’s a hard marketing problem. You’re excited by it.
