Head of Developer and AI Platform Marketing

About HeyGen At HeyGen, our mission is to make visual storytelling accessible to all. Over the last decade, visual content has become the preferred method of information creation, consumption, and retention. But the ability to create such content, in particular videos, continues to be costly and challenging to scale. Our ambition is to build technology that equips more people with the power to reach, captivate, and inspire audiences. Learn more at www.heygen.com . Visit our Mission and Culture doc here . The Role We’re looking for a Head of Developer and AI Platform Marketing to position HeyGen as the default video and avatar layer for AI agents and developer workflows. The AI agent ecosystem is growing fast, projected to reach $120B+ by 2032. Every company building agentic AI that needs a human-facing interface will need video generation, voice, and real-time interactive avatars. HeyGen already has the developer platform—a V3 API, CLI, MCP server, and Skills for AI coding agents—plus first-mover advantage in avatar quality. What we need is someone to own the strategy and execution that makes HeyGen the obvious choice for every developer and AI builder in this space. This role reports directly to the CMO and will be the founding member of HeyGen’s developer marketing function. You’ll start as a solo operator, powered by AI tools and agent workflows, with the opportunity to build a team as the function scales. What You’ll Do Developer Positioning Narrative Define and own HeyGen’s positioning for the AI builder and developer audience: software developers, AI/ML engineers, and technical founders building products that incorporate video, voice, and avatar capabilities. Craft the narrative that HeyGen is essential infrastructure for AI agents that communicate with humans—not just a video creation tool. Translate the full developer platform (V3 API, CLI, MCP, Skills) and core models (Video Agent, Avatar IV, Video Translation, Lipsync) into developer-native messaging that resonates in technical communities. Developer Community Ecosystem Build HeyGen’s presence where developers live: GitHub, Hacker News, X, Discord, ProductHunt, and AI framework communities. Develop relationships with AI agent and developer tool ecosystems (OpenAI Agents SDK, LangGraph, CrewAI, Google ADK, OpenClaw, Cursor, Claude Code) to drive integration partnerships and ensure HeyGen is a first-class plugin across platforms. Get HeyGen front and center at hackathons, AI builder meetups, developer conferences, and other events where the target audience gathers. Sponsor, speak, judge, and build demo experiences that make HeyGen the tool people reach for. Create and curate "build with HeyGen" content: tutorials, sample apps, integration guides, and technical blog posts. Launch developer programs that drive API adoption and create evangelists. Go-to-Market for the Developer Platform Own the developer GTM motion end-to-end, from awareness through activation and expansion. Plan and execute launches targeting the developer audience, including new API capabilities, CLI updates, MCP and Skills integrations, and partner announcements. Drive adoption across all three integration paths: MCP for AI assistants (Claude, OpenClaw, Cursor), Skills for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor), and Direct API/CLI for full programmatic control and CI/CD pipelines. Work closely with product to translate developer feedback into roadmap input, particularly on pricing models, SDKs, documentation, and sandbox environments. AI Agent Infrastructure Positioning Lead the marketing effort to position HeyGen as the default video, voice, and avatar layer for AI agents—the infrastructure that gives agents a face. Identify and amplify early adopter stories of developers building agent-powered video workflows and interactive avatar experiences on HeyGen. Develop the category narrative around AI agents that can see, speak, and present—powered by HeyGen. Measurement Growth ... (truncated, view full listing at source)
