Firecrawl is the easiest way to extract data from the web. Developers use us to reliably convert URLs into LLM-ready markdown or structured data with a single API call. In just a year, we’ve hit millions in ARR and 50k+ GitHub stars by building the fastest way for developers to get LLM-ready data.

Previously, we built Mendable, one of the first commercially available “chat with your data” applications. We sold to companies like MongoDB, Coinbase, Snapchat, and more. To do this, we spent a surprising amount of time building reliable infrastructure for getting clean data from the web. When we started to see our founding friends rebuilding the same thing, we thought we might be on to something.

We are looking for a Head of Marketing to design, build, and run a scalable marketing operations system. This role will enable you to own execution, project management, and the management of all marketing resources (in-house and freelance) to meet aggressive content velocity and growth targets.

• System Design & Implementation: Build and manage our marketing tech stack and workflows (e.g., in Asana, Notion). Create the brief templates, content calendars, and processes for all marketing channels.

• Execution & Project Management: Own the marketing calendar. Drive all projects from briefing to completion, ensuring deadlines and quality standards are met for SEO, social media, video, and partnerships.

• Team & Resource Management: Hire, onboard, and directly manage freelancers, agencies, and future in-house hires (starting with a SEO Manager).

• Cross-Functional Project Management: Serve as the project manager for marketing-related engineering tasks, coordinating with our technical team to produce case studies and examples.

• Performance Measurement & Reporting: Create and maintain a dashboard to track key operational metrics (e.g., content velocity, time-to-publish) and channel performance.

• 3-5+ years in a marketing operations or growth marketing role.

• Required: Experience at an early-stage (Seed-Series B) B2B SaaS or developer-focused company.

• Demonstrated experience building marketing systems, processes, and workflows from scratch.

• Proven experience hiring and managing freelancers, agencies, and/or direct reports to a high standard of quality.

• Excellent written communication and organizational skills suited for a remote-first environment.

• Experience marketing to developers.

• Unlimited PTO — Minimum 3 weeks off encouraged; take the time you need to recharge

• Parental leave — 12 weeks fully paid, for moms and dads

• Wellness stipend — $100/month for the gym, therapy, massages, or whatever keeps you human

• Learning & Development - Expense up to $150/year toward anything that helps you grow professionally

• Supplemental options — Optional accident, critical illness, hospital indemnity, and voluntary life insurance for extra peace of mind

• Doctegrity telehealth — Talk to a doctor from your couch
