Remote Head of Marketing & Communications, REMOTE

Must have:

• 8+ years in marketing, content or brand leadership, with real time inside creative studios, agencies or founder-led companies
• A portfolio that proves exceptional taste - visual, narrative, and tone of voice
• A design background and/or fluency & comfort producing own visual assets at the required quality level in Figma when necessary
• Experience owning a company's web presence: site strategy, messaging, and keeping capabilities collateral current
• Exceptional project management: content calendars, production pipelines, many workstreams at once
• Short-form video fluency: they've shipped work for Reels, TikTok and Shorts and can say why each piece performed
• Extensive experience & comfort managing creatives & producers (editors, designers, animators, freelancers) and getting better work out of them than they'd make alone
• Hands-on experience running paid social on Meta, Instagram and other platforms: audience building, budget ownership, and A/B/C testing across narrative and adset
• Working fluency in the PESO model, with a point of view on where paid, earned, shared and owned media each earn their keep

🧁 Nice-to-have:

• Experience producing a brand's IRL presence: events, conferences, talks, and the follow-through that turns them into content
• Podcast or audio production experience
• Comfort/experience managing multiple messaging columns in a house of brands
• Newsletter growth experience, Substack especially
• Community & events marketing: programming, launches, IRL moments
• Photography, motion or editing chops of their own
• Fluency with AI production tools, plus the judgment to know when not to use them
• A press & media network (traditional PR isn't the focus, but relationships help)
• Experience marketing to design & engineering decision-makers at companies like our clients
• Book publishing or long-form media experience
• Experience growing a services business's story into a consumer-scale audience

⛰️ The Head of Marketing & Communications Role

The garden3d Head of Marketing & Communications has one mandate: make sure everything we put on the internet is compelling and interesting. garden3d is a house of brands - Sanctuary Computer (development), XXIX (design), Index Space (community), USB Club (digital community), and the garden3d umbrella itself - and each needs its own voice, its own audience, and its own drumbeat of work worth sharing. Working in close partnership with our founder & president Hugh Francis, this person decides what we make, where it runs, and whether it clears our bar.

You can be based anywhere. A lot of our studios, spaces and people gravitate around New York, so there's some pull to be here, and a good part of this job is noticing what's happening in our world and turning it into content. But we already work across timezones, and we would happily hire in Europe, Singapore, Chicago, or wherever you are. If you're the right person, we want to hear from you.

This role will interface with studio leads, designers, developers, editors, animators, photographers, community managers, event producers and ad platforms across every garden3d vertical.

Simply, this person can easily context shift between our massively diverse set of workstreams, find the most compelling stories, and get them produced at an exceedingly high bar.

This person owns our channels end to end: the garden3d Substack, our podcast, Instagram, X, and the paid accounts behind them. They collab with our team, and a rotating cast of freelance editors, designers and animators, and they run the calendar that keeps a dozen workstreams shipping on time. They think in PESO terms (paid, earned, shared, owned) with the weight on shared and owned media - paid is a tool they use deliberately, and traditional press is a bonus, but not generally where we focus.

The ambition runs past marketing a services business. garden3d TK is our young experimental media company, and this role is its engine: books, screenplays, music, media, activations: a record label for ideas. The ideal candidate looks at a worker-owned collective with four studios, a network of community spaces and an open P&L and sees the best content brief on the internet.

💸 Compensation

This role greatly favors autonomous, competent & ambitious operators. It will begin with a 4-month fraction trial contract, paid hourly between $75 - $120 p/hr pending seniority & experience. In the first few weeks of the trial, this individual will propose their own goals to define success in their trial, and present them to our leadership team for approval.

At garden3d, we believe that those who shoulder the most responsibility and create the greatest impact should be paid accordingly. If this individual exceeds expectations by the end of the 4-month period, we'll shape a permanent role together, with scope and compensation that grow as our audiences and revenue do.

Finally, after a period of proven success in this role (12 - 24 months), this individual will become eligible to join our worker ownership program.
