Marketing Lead
TandemLaunch is a unique Canadian start-up studio. We create cutting-edge technology companies based on research taken straight from major university labs. We focus on commercializing innovations in consumer electronics, hardware-enabled technologies, machine learning, and embedded systems, and operate all portfolio companies on-site in our Montréal, Canada workspace.
We are looking for a Marketing Lead to join a computer graphics startup we have recently invested in. The candidate should have experience in using graphic design for advertising, preferably in the media/CPG/consumer products space. An ideal candidate may have created graphics for an advertising campaign, or been involved directly in a marketing campaign that relied heavily on original digital and print graphics. Alternatively, candidate may have worked in 3D modeling in the games, media production, or film/CGI industry and have a good understanding of the market for computer-generated imagery and software products used to produce it.
This role will immediately progress to become a co-founder and manager of one of our portfolio companies, where they are given significant (10 - 20%) equity ownership and are separately paid an annual salary.
Our Managers are the leaders of new product creation, product and market research, and generally become the face of the company to investors and customers alike. As such, creativity, ingenuity, a high tolerance for ambiguity, and strong project planning/management skills are all core to this role. You will work with the TandemLaunch in-house engineering and product team as well as the first employees of your startup that you will hire after receiving financing.
