Runpod, Inc.

1d • $110,000 - $140,000 • Remote

About The Position

Runpod is the foundational platform for developers to build and run custom AI systems that scale. With over 500,000 developers worldwide and an annual recurring revenue run rate exceeding $120M, Runpod operates at the intersection of developer velocity and production-scale AI. Founded in 2022, we’ve grown rapidly by building infrastructure purpose-built for modern AI workloads. Our platform enables teams to move from experimentation to deployment with flexibility across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments. As a remote-first, globally distributed company, we are building the infrastructure layer that powers the next generation of AI systems.
The Marketing team at Runpod is building the go-to-market engine for one of the fastest-growing AI infrastructure companies in the world. We are a lean, high-output group spanning brand, content, developer marketing, demand generation, and product marketing, reporting to the Head of Marketing. This role sits at the intersection of customer success, product marketing, and content. You’ll work closely with Sales, CS, and Product to turn customer wins into marketing assets that drive pipeline, accelerate deals, and build market credibility. We operate with high autonomy and a bias toward shipping.
Runpod is hiring a Customer Marketing Manager to own the full lifecycle of customer storytelling, reference management, and vertical-focused marketing programs. This is an early-to-mid career role for someone who is an exceptional writer, a natural relationship builder, and deeply organized. You will be the person who knows which customers are doing what, who we can talk to, and how to turn those stories into case studies, testimonials, event speakers, and sales enablement assets. You will produce at high volume, targeting 5+ published case studies per quarter while building the systems and relationships to sustain that pace. You will also begin to identify vertical and solution patterns across the customer base, helping Runpod sharpen its go-to-market around the industries and use cases where we win.
Your Impact: Customer proof is the single most underleveraged asset in Runpod’s GTM today. You will build the customer marketing function from scratch, creating a repeatable engine that turns happy customers into pipeline-generating content and references. Your case studies and customer narratives will directly influence deal velocity and win rates. Your vertical insights will shape how Runpod positions itself in new markets. This is a high-visibility role where your work shows up in sales decks, on the website, at events, and in board materials.
