AI is the new electricity. It is transforming every aspect of our lives and millions of AI engineers and builders are needed to continue evolving this field. DeepLearning.AI is on a mission to grow and connect the global AI community and empower everyone to build with AI. We offer world-class education, hands-on training, access to AI news and a collaborative community. We’re a small tech company with serious credentials, exciting marketing challenges, and wonderful teammates.
We’re seeking a motivated and AI-passionate Head of Marketing to join us and lead the Marketing team. You are our ideal candidate if you know how to code - on your own or with AI, understand developers and have at least a strong conceptual understanding (if not a technical one) of AI technologies in the developer space. You should have a deep, hands-on understanding of how AI applies and can be used by marketers, and bring strong creative instincts and the ability to lead bold marketing initiatives from concept to execution. As a member of the company’s leadership team, you must have extensive leadership experience, a track record of building high-performing teams, and the ability to drive cross-functional collaboration. This is a unique opportunity for a marketing leader to shape DeepLearning.AI’s voice and set the strategic direction for our AI training products. You will grow the global AI developer community, and help bring more people around the world into AI.
As Deeplearning's Head of Marketing, you will:
- Lead and grow the marketing team - manage a team of five full-time employees and several contractors, fostering a high-performance culture through mentorship, collaboration, and continuous development.
- Own and deliver enrollment and revenue targets - build a solid marketing strategy to launch new programs and drive enrollments to existing ones; leverage social, SEO, and email strategies to generate traffic to our Coursera pages, and follow through to revenue; explore and potentially launch a paid consumer membership program.
- Strengthen and amplify brand in developer community - maintain and further develop DeepLearning.AI’s brand in the AI developer and online training spaces. Build brand equity through thought leadership, community engagement, and strategic partnerships.
- Leverage Generative AI to scale marketing efficiency - build a “10x marketer” mindset within the team by integrating AI-driven automation, content generation, and workflow optimization. Ensure that the marketing team is sufficiently technical to invent or incorporate new technologies into its work.
- Collaborate cross-functionally - work closely with internal teams as well as external ecosystem partners to align marketing efforts with broader business goals. You will be a key member of our leadership team and help shape the overall DeepLearning.AI strategy.
- Keep up with industry trends - ensure that the marketing team, and you as part of it, continuously monitor and remain on top of AI, machine learning, and the broader technology landscape.
Your skills (things you can do):
- Have a deep and intimate understanding of the developer audience, as well as (at least a conceptual) understanding of AI terms, tools and technologies.
- Write code or build software, on your own or with AI. This will allow you to maximize your and the team’s productivity as well as figure out what the future of AI-enabled marketing will be.
- Able to meet reach and revenue targets using unpaid marketing channels (email, SEO, social). Specifically, develop and execute a full-lifecycle marketing strategy leveraging high-impact email marketing, including segmenting large user bases, building nurturing campaigns, and optimizing for conversion.
- Drive consumer subscription growth, implementing effective pricing, retention, and engagement strategies.
- Apply an analytical and data-driven mindset to understand the business, clearly communicate insights across the company, and drive informed decision-making.
