About Katapult Labs

Katapult Labs brings together exceptional LATAM talent and leading-edge technology to help scale U.S. startups. With an AI-first approach, we create world-class solutions in product, engineering, and business growth. We partner with top founders from networks like 8VC and Action Capitals experienced operators building venture-backed companies.

The Role

This is Katapult's first dedicated marketing hire. We have strong inbound deal flow from referrals and VC networks, but no systematic marketing engine yet. We're looking for a Head of Marketing who operates like a strategist and a builder: someone who can think about brand positioning at 30,000 feet and then go write the LinkedIn post, set up the funnel, and measure the conversion.

Your job is to build Katapult's marketing engine from scratch — running rapid experiments to figure out what channels, messaging, and content formats actually move the needle, while generating enough data to know where to invest heavily. This role can start fractional and grow with the business.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and run rapid marketing experiments across channels (LinkedIn, Twitter, content marketing, email, podcast clips, case studies, partnerships) with clear hypotheses, minimum viable assets, and short timelines
• Own positioning and messaging: develop and refine how Katapult communicates its value to different segments (pre-seed founders, Series A CTOs, VCs looking for portfolio resources)
• Build the content machine: capture raw material from founder calls, podcast conversations, product builds, and AI workflow innovations, and turn it into a steady stream of blog posts, LinkedIn thought leadership, short-form video, case studies, and demos
• Drive top-of-funnel growth: create the fastest path to qualified inbound conversations through VC distribution channels, organic content, community presence, paid experiments, or new approaches
• Write compelling copy across all formats — content that sounds like someone who understands what founders are going through, not agency copywriting
• Track, analyze, and report on key marketing and funnel metrics (open rate, reply rate, conversion rate, pipeline velocity) to refine strategies continuously
• Collaborate closely with the founder (Tomás) to shape ICP definition, pricing conversations, and product positioning
• Help shape Katapult's long-term brand strategy as the company evolves from services to venture studio to potential in-house products
  
  

Requirements

• 4+ years in growth marketing with hands-on execution: writing copy, running campaigns, building funnels, analyzing data, and iterating fast
• Strong writer able to create content that resonates with technical and founder audiences
• Strong cultural fluency in US tech and startup ecosystems, with experience navigating American business environments.
• Experience with marketing automation, CRM tools (HubSpot, Salesforce), analytics, email platforms, and social scheduling
• Data-driven mindset: you think in terms of experiments and outcomes, not platforms and tactics
• Autonomous and experimental energized by building from scratch with a small team and AI tools, not intimidated by it
• Strong communication skills in English; comfortable working with U.S.-based founders
• Already using AI in your own workflow and curious about how AI changes what's possible in marketing
  
  

Nice to Have

• Experience marketing to technical audiences or in B2B services / SaaS contexts
• Technical proficiency in web development (HTML/CSS, JavaScript) or familiarity with API integrations
• Experience developing or integrating marketing automation tools and custom outreach solutions
• Knowledge of A/B testing frameworks, growth experiments, and analytics platforms
