Marketing Lead
Valinor
Marketing & Communications
Washington, DC, USA
Posted on Jun 24, 2025
There are too many problems that are unaddressed in the resiliency ecosystem. These problems, while quiet, are significant; and left unsolved they create gaps that widen until systems crack and missions stall.
Valinor is a new type of defense and government tech company focused on solving the problems others don’t. Our unique model of centralized go-to-market and decentralized engineering allows us to move with unparalleled efficiency to identify unmet needs, build right-sized solutions, and get products where they matter most - in the hands of users. Unlike others in the space, who focus on the flashy problems, Valinor exists to solve the quiet, unaddressed problems–the small but significant ones that lead to cracks in the country’s strength, stability, and security.
Backed by General Catalyst, Founders Fund, and Red Cell Partners, Valinor was founded in 2024 and has established strategic partnerships with Palantir, Anduril, and Helsing. We are building the dream team, and we want you on it.
We're seeking a Marketing Lead to join Valinor. This person will lead all marketing efforts and ensure the high quality and far reach of our brand.
What you will do
- Develop marketing strategies to increase the awareness of Valinor’s brand and the brands of our product companies
- Cultivate and own the unique brand system between the Valinor hub and our products, while planning for the inclusion and integration of future product companies
- Create, curate, and manage our social media, blog, and website content, ensuring Valinor’s virtual presence is consistent with our brand
- Work with designers (some of whom you may help source as part-time contractors) to develop brand assets for various announcements, updates, or features
- Work cross-functionally with the growth and product companies to help develop various capture materials when needed
- Own the public launches of our product companies, crafting the timeline, channels, and assets required to ensure their success
- Employees will have access to information, materials, and technologies subject to U.S. export controls, i.e., EAR and/or ITAR, and must be U.S. Persons, as defined by 22 C.F.R. § 120.62, based in the United States.
Who we are looking for
- 5+ years of experience in marketing
- Deep network of part-time brand designers that you can pull in for various efforts (bonus points for a product design network too)
- Portfolio of past marketing campaigns, websites, brand assets, or product launches you can show us that highlight your attention to detail, flair for design, and overall thoughtfulness
- A strong connection to our underlying mission
- Experience working with highly technical products across hardware and software
- Strong verbal and written communication skills
What Valinor offers
- Competitive salary, equity packages, and benefits, including health, dental, and vision insurance - fully covered for employees.
- Unlimited PTO and two-week company holiday at the end of every calendar year.
- We are a pro-mental health and pro-family company - we actually encourage employees to spend time with themselves and their families. Valinor also provides fertility benefits to those just beginning that journey.
- Fun work environment - we like to laugh and take care of each other, but we also deeply respect the mission in front of us.
- Headquartered in Washington DC with additional coworking spaces throughout the country. We also host team offsites and colocations around the U.S.
