Head of Growth and Marketing

Location: Fully Remote

Type: Full time

About Livepeer:

Livepeer is on a mission to build the world’s open video infrastructure. Founded in 2017, it is the world’s first open-source protocol for decentralized video streaming, built on Ethereum. The project has empowered developers to create scalable, cost-effective, and censorship-resistant video applications. The Livepeer network has transcoded billions of minutes, serving Web3 and Web2 platforms across gaming, entertainment, social media, and beyond. In 2024, Livepeer AI was introduced, unlocking Livepeer’s computer network for AI inference workflows. From real-time video transcription and object detection to scene recognition and AI-powered editing, Livepeer AI brings advanced machine learning directly into the decentralized video stack. These new tools not only reduce costs but also empower developers to build richer, smarter, and more engaging video experiences—whether for Web3 platforms, AI-powered dApps, or even traditional video use cases.

The role

We’re seeking a hands-on, execution-minded Head of Growth and Marketing to architect and lead the marketing strategy for Daydream, Livepeer’s real-time AI video product. You’ll own Daydream’s end-to-end growth strategy, from brand and product positioning to go-to-market execution, while building a world-class community around real-time generative media that consists of builders, applied researchers, and creative technologists.

What you’ll do

GTM strategy:

Build and lead Daydream’s growth strategy: define positioning, messaging, and narrative so Daydream becomes the default community for open source real-time AI video innovation.

Own all core growth marketing functions: brand, product marketing, content, growth, community, events, PR/comms, standing up the right capabilities at the right time, and be accountable for the success of each function.

Drive pre-PMF momentum: generate excitement and clear narrative before product-market fit is fully locked; source and onboard design partners; be hypothesis driven and turn early wins into repeatable playbooks for breakthrough use cases (e.g. real time visualization, live avatars, interactive broadcasts).

Community architecture:

Architect and execute community-led growth for the real-time AI video ecosystem amongst our key personas: builders, applied researchers, and creative technologists.

Be (or architect) a visible, credible presence within technical communities. Inspire them by showcasing compelling use cases, and engage them through mechanisms that create authentic enthusiasm / participation.

Coordinate with Livepeer Foundation Marketing to align on broader web3/decentralised ecosystem strategy and community engagement.

Operating model & leadership

Balance multiple goals based on business needs – across community growth, developer adoption, product marketing, and early GTM traction.

Recruit and lead a high-performing growth team; set clear metrics, rituals, and dashboards for ecosystem health (activation, retention, contributions, partner velocity). Have a player-coach mentality to execute with excellence and hire for leverage as motion matures.

Operate as a peer-level sparring partner to technically deep founders; balance technical credibility with growth urgency.
