AWeber has been helping small businesses own their audience for over 25 years. We were one of the first email service providers, and we still believe what we believed then. An owned audience is the most durable asset a small business can build. Our customers are creators, coaches, consultants, online sellers, and operators who don't have a marketing team. They have themselves, a laptop, and an audience they're trying to grow.
The category is noisy. Every tool has a pitch. Our customers get pulled in a hundred directions a day. What sets AWeber apart is depth. 25 years of running this category and real relationships with the small businesses we serve. We're not looking for someone to manage our legacy. We're looking for someone to take it somewhere new.
This is a growth role first. The priority is top of funnel growth by building awareness, earning attention, and pulling the right people into AWeber's orbit without just defaulting to paid acquisition. If your only instinct when facing a growth problem is to increase the ad budget, this isn't the role for you.
The person we're looking for is already in the market. Not as a spectator, but rather as a participant. They're known in the creator, coach, and small business world because they've earned it. They have opinions people repeat. They get invited into rooms because of who they are, not what their company does. And they know how to turn that influence into growth.
This is a player-coach role at a lean, fast-moving company. You'll set the direction and do the work, often in the same afternoon.
You're known for something. Not just "active on LinkedIn", but you have a perspective that people in this space have heard, shared, or argued with. You've built an audience and a reputation by saying things worth saying, not by posting on a schedule.
You go after things. When you see a partnership that makes sense, you pursue it. When you identify a community where our customers live, you find a way in. You don't wait for inbound. You map the market, identify the targets, and move.
You're genuinely credible in the small business, creator, or coach world. You've either built something in this space yourself or spent years earning the trust of people who have. You speak the language because you've lived it, not because you studied it.
You've operated at a senior marketing level. CMO, VP of Marketing, or a founder who owned marketing from strategy to results. You know what it feels like to be accountable to revenue and have the results to show for it.
You can do the work, not just direct it. In the same week you can write a landing page, brief a podcast tour, cut a short-form video, write an email sequence, jump on a customer call, and brief an agency. You find a way to get things out the door.
You've built or rebuilt a marketing function before. You know what the priorities are on day 30, day 90, and day 180, and you can make the case for each one.
You think in distribution first. Before you think about what to say, you think about how to get it in front of the right people. Earned attention is your preferred currency.
You're AI-native in a real way. Not "I use ChatGPT to write emails." You've built systems with agents, automations, content workflows, and research pipelines, and you can show specific examples with measurable results. You already default to using AI first, not something you're planning to adopt.
You don't need a big team to feel legitimate. You don't think being “in market” is something you delegate. Your best work doesn't live in a strategy deck. It lives in what actually shipped and what it did. If your favorite part is shipping something on Tuesday and watching it work by Friday, keep reading.
You're not a brand person who's comfortable letting acquisition be someone else's problem. You're not someone who mistakes a good-looking campaign for one that worked. And you're not someone who needs the spotlight to feel like the work matters, but you're not afraid of it either.
If you have a newsletter, podcast, channel, or public presence, keep it. We're not hiring you to go quiet. We're hiring you because of how you show up in the world, and we'd be working against our own thesis if we asked you to stop. We'll figure out together how your voice and AWeber's voice complement each other.
