VP Marketing

About the Role

Updater is seeking a strategic, commercially minded Vice President of Marketing to lead our next stage of growth across enterprise platform marketing and large-scale consumer acquisition.

This is a senior leadership role overseeing product marketing, go-to-market, performance marketing, brand, user engagement, and marketing operations. You'll shape how enterprise customers understand and adopt Updater's technology while driving consumer acquisition programs that convert demand into orders.

Reporting to the Chief Revenue Officer, you'll lead an established, high-performing marketing team and oversee significant marketing investments. You'll work closely with our current VP of Marketing during the leadership transition, building on a strong foundation to elevate our market position, accelerate growth, and deliver meaningful business results.

Performance Marketing

• Lead performance marketing strategy across paid acquisition, digital channels, and conversion optimization, managing eight-figure annual marketing budgets.
• Optimize acquisition economics, conversion rates, and return on marketing investment to drive efficient, sustainable growth.
• Identify and test new channels, strategies, and opportunities to increase consumer acquisition and orders.

Brand & Market Leadership

Requirements

• A performance-driven growth leader. You have deep experience with paid acquisition, conversion optimization, customer acquisition economics, and managing significant marketing investments. You're as comfortable discussing CAC and ROAS as you are with positioning and brand strategy.
