Pearl Talent - 市场营销副总裁

We're hiring a VP of Marketing for Pearl , which finds exceptional talent from around the world, trains them to be AI-native, and places them into operational roles at startups as managed contractors: from client facing roles to software engineers to executive assistants.
We're 3x founders who've bootstrapped our company to a couple million in ARR and are adding six to seven figures in net new annualized revenue each month. Our clients span venture-backed tech and healthcare, including fast-growing startups and US-based businesses that have raised over $3B in funding from Sequoia, a16z, Founders Fund, Y Combinator, and other top VC firms.
Today we're roughly 60 people managing a few hundred talents, growing fast and into new verticals. We started Pearl because we believe that even though opportunity isn't created equal in the world, ambitious talent is. Our goal is to scale Pearl to $100M in ARR bootstrapped by placing 2777 operators into top startups in the next 3 years.

Purpose of Your Role
You'll build Pearl into a brand that founders & leaders want to work with, exceptional talent want to join, and people genuinely want to be part of.
We believe some of the world's most exceptional talent is overlooked simply because of where they were born. Your job is to change that perception through compelling stories that showcase the people behind Pearl and the impact they have on the companies they support.
Imagine telling the story of a startup founder who just launched a product generating millions in revenue, then revealing the exceptional operators in the Philippines who helped make it happen. Or following a talented professional whose career at Pearl has allowed them to buy their parents a home or put their siblings through school.
You'll also build the brands of Pearl's founder communities, including NY Deep Tech , Operating Room , and Health Command . Our events and communities are a primary way we build relationships and acquire clients. We want founders and operators to see what's happening and think, "I want to be part of that."
This is a hands-on creative leadership role. You'll personally develop concepts, interview founders and talent, build storyboards, and write scripts while assembling and leading a team of specialists who bring those ideas to life as the main owner of marketing across Pearl/
You'll work directly with Pearl's founders to build a recognizable brand that attracts exceptional talent, strengthens our communities, and generates meaningful business opportunities.
