Marketing
Brand & Content Marketer
The Role
This is a true 0→1 marketing role. You'll own brand and content end-to-end — you set the direction and you make the work. You'll ship LinkedIn posts, blog articles, website copy, launch campaigns, and sales collateral that make Forgepoint sound like Forgepoint. As our first dedicated marketer, you'll work directly with the founders to define our voice and put it in front of the manufacturers we serve.
This is a seat for a maker, not just a strategist. You'll learn the manufacturing world deeply enough to write about it credibly, move fast, and use every AI tool available to punch far above your weight.
Who you are
- You're a strong writer who can hold a distinct, credible voice across formats
- You ship high-quality content fast and independently, from idea to published
- You have a sense for brand and design, and care how the work looks and reads
- You're comfortable owning the whole funnel — content, brand, and the systems around them
- You care about our mission, and you want to see the American manufacturing base get stronger
- You're excited to work in person 5 days a week in our NYC office
- You have a founder and growth mindset, and you use AI tooling to move faster
Bonus points
- B2B or startup marketing experience
- You've grown a brand, audience, or newsletter from scratch
- Basic design chops (Figma, Canva, or similar)
- Familiarity with industrial, technical, or otherwise "unsexy" audiences
About Forgepoint
Revitalize an industry. Rebuild America's manufacturing backbone.
America builds satellites, jet engines, semiconductors, and more with world-class precision, but the software running factory offices is decades behind. Estimators, procurement teams, and accountants still lose hours to spreadsheets, PDFs, and manual data entry.
Forgepoint builds AI workers for quoting, purchasing, invoicing, and sales coordination. By removing back-office bottlenecks, we help US manufacturers move faster, grow, and compete globally.
We're backed by a16z speedrun and angels from Brex, Xwing, and Betterment. Join us in rebuilding the digital foundation of American manufacturing.
