Head of Marketing

Head of Marketing | Cybersecurity | East Coast US

Fortis is working with a well-funded, early-stage cybersecurity company looking to hire a Head of Marketing as they scale their US go-to-market operation.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who has been through the early-stage journey before and knows how to build marketing from the ground up.

You’ll own the marketing strategy while remaining close to execution — developing the positioning and messaging, generating pipeline, supporting product launches and working closely with sales, product and the leadership team.

What you’ll own:

• US marketing strategy and execution

• Positioning, messaging and category development

• Demand generation and pipeline creation

• Product marketing and GTM launches

• Content, campaigns and market presence

• Close alignment with Sales and Product

• Building out the marketing function as the company scales

What we’re looking for:

• Experience in a marketing leadership role within an early-stage cybersecurity company

• Ideally experience scaling a business through Seed, Series A or Series B

• Strong understanding of technical cybersecurity buyers

• A track record of building pipeline, not just brand

• Comfortable operating strategically and getting hands-on with execution

• Experience across Application Security, Vulnerability Management, Exposure Management, Offensive Security or adjacent markets is highly relevant

This is an opportunity to join a company with strong backing, serious technical pedigree and ambitious plans for the US market.

Fortis specializes in cybersecurity recruitment across the US, partnering with early-stage cybersecurity startups to hire GTM, Sales, Marketing, Sales Engineering and executive leadership talent.

We’re currently supporting searches across the US cybersecurity market, including Head of Marketing, VP Sales, Head of Sales, Account Executive and Sales Engineering positions.
