Context: Marketing at Gorgias
Gorgias marketing has historically been demand-gen led fuelling strong SMB growth.
As we evolve toward Conversational Commerce our biggest opportunity is to educate merchants on how AI can transform the way their customers shop from transactional to conversational experiences.
Were now looking for a marketing leader who can turn this vision into clear positioning compelling narratives and effective enablement for our fast-growing mid-market and enterprise segments.
Weve learned a lot from past marketing leadership experiences and each contributed to our growth. Today we have a sharper understanding of what long-term success requires. Were open to candidates who come from either a product marketing background or from a demand generation / growth background what matters most is a deep understanding of the product they market strong execution instincts and the ability to bridge vision and execution across the full funnel.

At Gorgias AI is a natural extension of how we work and build. Our teams use it every day to research write analyze code and craft better customer experiences. Everyone has access to premium AI tools (ChatGPT Claude Granola & others) and an annual L&D budget to explore new ones.
The real magic happens when we share what we learn. Our #powerup Slack channel is a digital petri dish of new tools and workflows and each team has AI champions who showcase fresh ideas during weekly company-wide standups now practically AI demo sessions.
