About the role

You will be Valency's first dedicated marketing hire, reporting directly to the founders and senior leadership.
In practice, that means owning the full marketing calendar: conferences, podcasts, webinars, and social media.
You will keep the Valency brand in front of researchers and institutions while managing the logistics, deadlines, and executive coordination that make it all run.

Own Valency's conference calendar end-to-end - prioritization, logistics, booth presence, speaking submissions, demo scheduling, and post-event follow-up - across key scientific communities including computational biology, materials science, chemistry, physics, and AI for research
Build and run our field marketing presence at research universities and national labs (DOE, NIH, NSF-affiliated institutions), including outreach to research computing groups, department seminar organizers, and faculty champions
Maintain the marketing calendar and communicate priorities across the team
be the person who knows what is due, when, and who owns it
Build relationships with scientific societies and professional associations that matter to our target audience
Work closely with sales to ensure tight handoffs from event leads to active conversations
You build systems. You maintain a calendar, create a post-event playbook, and make each execution faster than the last
Maintain the marketing calendar and communicate priorities across the team; be the person who knows what is due, when, and who owns it
A culture that values excellence and invests seriously in the people who drive it

You have managed field marketing or event marketing programs in a technical or scientific environment - you know how to run a conference presence and can do it without hand-holding
You are comfortable coordinating executives: scheduling, prepping briefs, following up diplomatically when things fall behind, and keeping commitments on track even when the principals are busy
You are as comfortable working independently as you are collaborating with a small, fast team
Meaningful experience in field marketing, event marketing, or a closely related B2B role - ideally at a technical or science-adjacent company

Experience marketing directly to research universities, national labs, or scientific societies
Familiarity with the academic publishing or research software ecosystem
Background in a scientific discipline
Prior startup experience where the playbook did not yet exist
We want to see how you've operated:
Events or programs you've owned and what they produced
How you've managed complex logistics or stakeholder coordination
Anything that shows you can earn the trust of a skeptical technical audience

Compensation, Benefits & Equity
We offer a competitive a benefits, salary and equity package including a 401(k) with matching

conferences, podcasts, webinars, and social media.
The founders are technical and mission-driven - and busy.
Keeping them scheduled, prepped, and on message is as important as anything else you will do.
This is a builder role.
If you want to execute someone else's strategy, this is not the right job.
If you want to shape how a company earns the trust of the global scientific community, it is.
