VP, Marketing

Verve For Advertisers is a technology company that empowers brands and agencies to connect moments of discovery and drive measurable outcomes across screens.

As part of Verve, we've unified the company's demand-side offering, bringing together the largest on-site search intent dataset outside of walled gardens, direct SDK integrations with top apps, alongside data partnerships with 3M+ websites and LLMs. Our technology captures both what consumers do and why they do it, delivering high-fidelity audiences, insights, and activation across premium omnichannel inventory.

You'll own everything from brand positioning and go-to-market campaigns to content, demand generation, events, and sales enablement.

The person who thrives here will be equal parts strategist and operator. You'll partner closely with sales, product, and data teams to turn complex ad tech capabilities into clear, compelling narratives that resonate with brand marketers, agency leaders, and programmatic buyers. You'll also be the connective tissue between our go-to-market and the broader Verve global brand.
