Position details

• Title: Marketing Director - Industrial

• Location: Remote within the United States. Houston is a plus, not a requirement.

• Employment type: Full-time

• Reports to: CEO

• Start date: As soon as possible

About the role

This is a revenue-focused marketing leadership role. Marketing at Kewazo is not brand-first, it is pipeline-first. Every activity should contribute to measurable pipeline and revenue, and you will work in close partnership with sales as one integrated go-to-market team.

You own marketing end to end. This is a hands-on role for someone who has been the first or only marketer at a company and grew it, not for someone who wants to manage a department. You will not be doing it alone: you will work with a full-time visual designer, a revenue operations and AI GTM engineering team, a business development representative, and account executives across North America and Europe. What we do not have today is one person who owns marketing as a whole. That is this role.

Account-based marketing and pipeline growth

• Develop and execute ABM strategies targeting key accounts across oil, gas, and chemical industries

• Map stakeholders within asset owners and contractors, and design multi-touch engagement strategies

• Collaborate with sales to identify high-value targets and support deal acceleration

• Design campaigns that generate qualified leads and measurable pipeline contribution

• Track performance and optimize campaigns based on revenue impact

Demand generation and digital

• Own the website: analytics, landing pages, conversion, and testing

• Own search and answer engine optimization, so buyers find us both in search and through the AI tools they now use to research

• Run paid campaigns on a defined budget, and be able to explain where every dollar of it goes

• Run cold and warm email at scale, including nurture and upsell sequences

• Build intent signals from public and third-party sources and turn them into scored target lists our BDR and account executives can act on

Content and thought leadership

• Lead the creation of case studies, technical content, customer stories, and thought-leadership articles

• Develop video content and industrial storytelling assets

• Ensure consistent messaging across the website, social media, and event materials

• Strengthen Kewazo's position as a leader in industrial automation and robotics

Events and market presence

• Plan and execute the event strategy across oil, gas, and heavy industry conferences, which is where much of our pipeline comes from today

• Manage booth presence, content preparation, and on-site coordination

• Use events for account penetration and to feed the ABM motion

Marketing operations and AI

• Oversee day-to-day marketing execution and operations, and build processes that keep marketing tied to revenue

• Coordinate design, external agencies, and freelancers so we get more done than our headcount suggests

• Use AI across the stack, and work with our AI GTM engineering team to automate work that would otherwise need a bigger team

What we are looking for

• You have been the first or only marketer at a company and grew it from close to zero to real revenue. This matters to us more than any other line on your CV.

• You are a generalist who does the work: performance marketing, email, website, SEO and GEO, content, events, and marketing operations

• Strong background in account-based marketing and a track record of pipeline-generating strategies

• Experience working closely with sales teams in revenue-driven environments

• You use AI in practice, not in vocabulary. You already build with it, and you have opinions about where it helps and where it does not.

• You know how to spend a small budget well and can explain your reasoning

• B2B experience selling into industrial, manufacturing, or other regulated sectors is a plus, and refining and petrochemical experience is a big plus. We will get you up to speed, and our team and materials will help.

• Highly execution-driven and comfortable handling both strategic planning and operational tasks. This role rows and steers.

• Willing to travel for conferences, customer sites, and time with the team in Houston

Nice to have

• Copywriting ability, so you are not blocked waiting on someone else to write

• Enough visual design sense to brief our designer well, or to produce something usable yourself

• Podcast production experience. We see an opening for industrial and turnaround content and would support you in running it.

Why Kewazo

• You own the function. There is no marketing layer above you to work around, and you report to the CEO.

• You shape the go-to-market strategy in North America

• High autonomy, high ownership, high impact, in an international and execution-driven team with offices in Houston and Munich

Compensation and benefits

• Base salary of $100,000 to $140,000, depending on experience

• A real budget for tools and paid campaigns

• Medical insurance and paid time off

• The opportunity to build and scale the North American marketing function
