📋 Description

• • As the first marketing hire at Walrus LLC, you will own the company’s entire marketing function and be responsible for shaping how the product, problem, and category are communicated to the market. This is a high-impact, hands-on role where you will translate complex technical concepts into clear, compelling narratives that drive awareness, adoption, and trust in Walrus’s DoubleCheck® solution for B2B payment verification.
• • Your day-to-day responsibilities will include producing and continuously improving core marketing materials such as the website, product pages, technical blog posts, sales enablement content, and announcements; owning end-to-end event execution from concept to delivery; managing public relations by identifying and engaging relevant journalists and analysts; and leveraging LinkedIn and other social channels to directly reach customers and partners.
• • You will work directly with the founders—PhD computer scientists and security researchers from Harvard, MIT, and Stanford—to refine messaging, validate positioning, and ensure marketing efforts align with product development and go-to-market strategy.
• • Walrus operates as a tight-knit, early-stage team with a strong culture of collaboration, ownership, and mentorship. The company values low ego, high autonomy, and efficient collaboration, meeting sparingly to focus on execution. You will have significant room for growth and influence as the company scales.
• • In this role, you will develop deep expertise in product marketing within a high-growth fintech environment, mastering the art of translating technical innovation into market-winning narratives. You will build a portfolio of measurable impact through improved engagement, conversion rates, and brand visibility, while gaining direct exposure to executive leadership and strategic decision-making.
