Marketing Operations and Strategy Lead

Marketing Operations and Strategy Lead At Render, we’re building the modern cloud platform for developers creating AI-native, full-stack, multi-service applications. Our mission is to eliminate the tradeoff between the power of hyperscalers and the simplicity of developer-friendly platforms—so teams can ship fast, scale reliably, and focus on their product, not infrastructure. Unlike complex hyperscalers or ephemeral edge/serverless solutions, Render offers a developer-first experience with persistent compute, dynamic autoscaling, built-in orchestration, and observability, allowing teams to launch, scale, and manage real-world applications without writing infrastructure code or managing servers. Whether you're building LLM-powered applications, scalable SaaS products, or async processing pipelines, Render empowers teams to move fast and scale confidently from MVP to millions of users. Our platform is trusted by over 4.5 million developers worldwide and continues to grow rapidly. In February 2026, we raised an additional $100M in Series C financing, bringing our total funding to $257M, to accelerate our vision of making cloud infrastructure both powerful and intuitive—designed for the speed of modern AI development. We’re a diverse and talented team that values craft, velocity, and user experience. If you’re excited to help shape the future of the intelligent cloud and empower developers everywhere, we’d love to hear from you. APPLYING TO RENDER We're seeking candidates who possess high integrity, humility, and an insatiable drive to learn. Through reasoned discussions and continuous feedback, we strive to improve both individually and collectively. We foster an environment of mutual trust and respect, empowering effective debate to achieve the best outcomes for our customers and team. We especially encourage members of underrepresented groups in the tech community to apply and understand that not all successful candidates will meet each requirement listed. Our interview process is unique to each role, and we value the candidate experience just as much as our customer experience. We hope your conversations with us reflect a thoughtful process that is illuminative, enjoyable, and respectful of your time. ABOUT THE ROLE We are a lean, high-impact marketing team. We value simplicity, performance, and creativity. As we scale, we aren’t just looking for someone to manage our tools; we’re looking for an architect to build the engine that powers our next phase of growth.

You will be the "connective tissue" between Marketing, Sales, and Finance, ensuring our GTM motion is as performant as the platform we build. This is an AI-first role.

You’ll be responsible for creating a centralized "system of record" and deploying AI-powered workflows that allow a lean marketing team to operate at a massive scale. If you thrive in the ambiguity of a fast-growing startup and believe that automation is the key to 10x impact, we want to talk to you. YOU WILL: - Architect the AI-First Stack: Own the marketing tech stack from end-to-end. You will design and deploy AI-powered workflows (using tools like Claude, Zapier, Clay, etc.) to automate high-frequency tasks and evangelize AI adoption across the team. - Scale Lifecycle Marketing: Render serves millions of developers. You will build the automation systems to engage our users based on product triggers and adoption, ensuring our communication is helpful and timely. - Own Outbound Infrastructure: Build and optimize the systems required for sophisticated outbound reach, ensuring high deliverability and seamless integration with our CRM. - Master Attribution & Analytics: Build the models that tell us where to invest and why.
