Director of Marketing, Communications, and Events

Location: Playa Vista, California (On-site, Full-Time)

Outpost is redefining Earth delivery and in-space manufacturing. Founded in 2021, we’re building an advanced reentry vehicle — a SpaceX-launched, reusable shipping container that can deliver up to 10 tons of cargo to any point on Earth within 90 minutes. These vehicles also support in-space production of materials like optical fiber that perform 10–100x better than those made on Earth.

We’re already under contract with NASA and five U.S. DoD customers, and we’re on track to significantly grow both our commercial, civil and government customer base. Our reentry technology is unlocking new capabilities across defense logistics, humanitarian response, and high-performance materials manufacturing — one vehicle, two breakthrough markets.

The Role

We’re looking for an experienced, high-performing marketer who’s ready to take the lead in building a brand from the ground up. As Outpost’s first full-time marketing hire, you’ll have the rare opportunity to define and own the function end-to-end, from strategy to execution.

This role starts hands-on: you’ll be shaping our brand, running events, leading content and social efforts, and ensuring every touchpoint reflects the caliber of our mission. As we grow, you’ll have the opportunity to build and lead a team, expand our marketing footprint, and evolve into a key leadership voice within the company.

If you’ve been a driving force behind great marketing at high-growth companies and are ready to step into a leadership role with autonomy, creative control, and a mission that matters, this is your opportunity.

What You’ll Do

• Brand & Messaging: Define Outpost’s voice and visual identity. Apply it consistently across all channels and materials.
• Event Management: Own end-to-end planning and execution for industry events, conferences, investor-facing gatherings, and internal launches.
• Social Media: Develop a clear, consistent content strategy across LinkedIn, X, Instagram, and YouTube. Create and post regularly.
• Content Development: Write and edit copy for web, email, pitch decks, video scripts, and marketing collateral.
• Executive Visibility: Secure and coordinate press, award, and speaking opportunities for Outpost leadership.
• Marketing Infrastructure: Build a lightweight but effective marketing stack (tools, workflows, assets, reporting).
• Vendor & Partner Management: Manage external contractors and agencies supporting design, PR, content, and events.

What We’re Looking For

• 7–10 years of marketing experience, ideally in venture-backed startups or frontier tech sectors
• Proven success building brand, managing campaigns, and executing across multiple marketing channels
• Hands-on experience with events, content creation, digital marketing, and brand development
• Strong writing and visual communication skills; you care about how things sound and look
• Ability to work cross-functionally with executive and technical teams
• Comfortable working with limited resources in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment
• Bonus: experience in aerospace, defense, or highly technical industries

 Compensation & Benefits

• 120,000 - 200,000, depending on experience and equity incentive mix
• Incentive stock options
• Performance-based bonus
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Life, short-term, and long-term disability insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• PTO and paid holidays
• Subsidized daily catered lunch, snacks, and coffee
