VP Marketing recruitment

Pipeline accountability first: whether the candidate has ever carried a sourced-pipeline number and can explain how it was measured, attributed and defended in a board meeting. Marketing leaders who have only reported activity metrics are visible immediately.

Then positioning capability, tested live — the candidate takes your product and reframes it for a specific buyer. Then the relationship with sales: how they handled disagreement about lead quality, and whether sales leaders they worked with would rehire them.

Marketing an AI product means explaining a capability buyers are simultaneously excited about and sceptical of, in a market where every competitor claims the same thing. Proof, benchmarks and specificity matter more than volume of content.

We recruit across AI infrastructure, applications and agentic products, and screen marketing leaders for the ability to hold a technical conversation with founders and engineers without outsourcing it entirely to product marketing.

Retained or exclusive, mapped rather than database-led, with a shortlist of three to five appointable candidates and a written rationale for each. Where the mandate is genuinely full-stack we present candidates against each of the possible shapes so the trade-off is explicit before offer stage.
