- Assess, triage, and manage inbound ecosystem marketing requests, owning initiatives end-to-end from intake through execution
- Create, document, and maintain scalable partner marketing playbooks and processes that support both crypto-native and AI-adjacent partners
- Serve as the primary marketing liaison between Story and partner marketing teams, managing communications, relationships, feedback, and ongoing collaboration
- Work closely with internal teams across Marketing, BD, Design, Product, and Engineering to execute partner marketing initiatives effectively
- Coordinate timelines, approvals, and execution of marketing deliverables across multiple stakeholders
- Plan and host partner engagements, including online activations, in-person events, and industry moments
- Identify and activate opportunities for partners to share their experiences with their audiences in ways that clearly communicate Story’s value and differentiation across IP, AI, and infrastructure use cases
- Track and evaluate the performance of co-marketing initiatives and apply learnings to improve future programs
Who You Are:
- 7 or more years of marketing experience, with exposure to Web3, AI, or other technical ecosystems
- Proven experience running scalable, integrated marketing campaigns involving multiple stakeholders
- Working understanding of Web3 culture and partner dynamics, alongside curiosity and interest in AI and emerging infrastructure technologies
- Excellent client service and executive communication skills, with the ability to manage multiple internal and external relationships
- Strong writing skills, attention to detail, and organizational discipline
- Self-starter mindset, comfortable operating independently and proactively driving work forward
- Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams in fast-moving environments
Nice To Have:
- Agency, consulting, or other client-facing experience
- Experience supporting platform, infrastructure, or ecosystem-style products
- Prior exposure to AI tooling, data platforms, or developer-focused products
