Senior Marketing Manager

213 W. Institute Pl Chicago, IL 60610 • Marketing • Project Management • Social Media • Full-Time

Salary Range:  $130000 - $150000 year

Ubiety is the creator of HomeAware, an AI-powered home awareness platform designed to deliver meaningful, real-time presence insights, so families stay informed without unnecessary alarms or intrusive surveillance.

We’re looking for our first Senior Marketing Manager to help build and scale our direct-to-consumer marketing engine during a critical phase of commercialization.

This is a hands-on builder role for a senior marketing generalist who wants real ownership, real impact, and a clear path to leadership.

The Role

Ubiety is entering its next stage of growth, launching and scaling a D2C offering alongside broader go-to-market efforts. As Senior Marketing Manager, you’ll be the right-hand partner to the SVP of Commercial, owning day-to-day D2C marketing execution while helping shape long-term marketing strategy.

You’ll build programs from the ground up, roll up your sleeves across channels, and lay the foundation for a future marketing team. This role is designed to grow into a Head of Marketing position as the company scales.

If you thrive in early-stage environments, enjoy ambiguity, and want to build something meaningful from 0→1, this role is for you.

What You’ll Own

End-to-End D2C Marketing Execution

  • Own and execute across the full D2C marketing funnel: awareness → acquisition → conversion → retention

  • Lead hands-on execution across key channels including email, social, website/digital, paid media, and product marketing

  • Translate product value into clear, compelling messaging that converts

0 → 1 Program Building

  • Design and launch marketing programs from scratch, testing and iterating quickly with limited resources

  • Build foundational systems and processes that can scale as the company grows

  • Balance short-term execution with long-term strategic thinking

Cross-Functional Marketing Leadership

  • Work closely with leadership, product, and engineering to support launches, campaigns, and GTM initiatives

  • Bring customer insights and market feedback into product and commercialization discussions

Performance & Optimization

  • Own marketing performance tracking and experimentation

  • Use data to prioritize, test, learn, and optimize without over-engineering

  • Make smart tradeoffs in a resource-constrained environment

External Resource Management

  • Manage freelancers, contractors, and agencies as extensions of the team

  • Decide what to outsource vs. build in-house

  • Ensure strong ROI, timelines, and quality across all external work

Team & Function Growth

  • Help define the long-term vision for marketing at Ubiety

  • Lay the groundwork for building and leading a future marketing team

  • Grow into a Head of Marketing role as the company scales

Who You Are

The Marketing Generalist

  • Deep, hands-on experience across the full marketing stack: email, social, website/digital, paid media, and product marketing

  • Comfortable context-switching between strategic planning and tactical execution

  • Energized by doing the work, not just managing it

The Startup Operator

  • Thrives in lean, fast-moving environments with ambiguity

  • Has built marketing programs from 0 → 1 at an early-stage startup

  • Scrappy and resourceful, finds creative solutions instead of asking for bigger budgets

The Builder & Future Leader

  • Thinks in systems, not just campaigns

  • Cares about building something durable and scalable

  • Motivated by growing into a leadership role through impact and ownership

Qualifications

Must-Haves

  • 7+ years of marketing experience with multi-channel expertise.

  • Proven ownership of end-to-end D2C campaigns, from acquisition through conversion and retention

  • 2–3+ years in a startup or early-stage environment

  • Experience working on very small marketing teams (solo or team of 2–3)

  • Strong hands-on execution skills across social, email, website, paid media, and product marketing

Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience in IoT, hardware, or B2B SaaS

  • Experience scaling a company from Series A to Series B+

  • Prior experience building or leading a marketing team

  • Comfort working closely with product and engineering teams

In the first 12–18 months, success looks like:

  • A repeatable D2C marketing engine driving measurable acquisition and conversion

  • Clear positioning and messaging across all customer touchpoints

  • Marketing programs that are documented, scalable, and no longer founder-dependent

  • A roadmap for building the next phase of the marketing team

What we can offer you:

  • A real seat at the table. You’ll work directly with senior leadership and play a meaningful role in shaping Ubiety’s go-to-market strategy, not just executing against it.

  • True ownership and autonomy. This is a role for someone who wants to take ideas from concept to execution to impact. You’ll have the freedom and responsibility to build, test, and scale what works.

  • A clear path to leadership. This role is designed to grow. As the company scales, so can you into a Head of Marketing role based on impact, not tenure.

  • A highly collaborative, transparent culture. We operate with openness, trust, and direct communication. You’ll have visibility into decisions, context behind priorities, and access to the people driving them.

  • A results-driven, learning-oriented environment. We care deeply about outcomes, but we also value thoughtful experimentation, fast feedback loops, and continuous improvement.

  • Equity ownership in a fast-growing company. You’ll share in the upside of what we’re building together.

  • Competitive, people-first benefits.

  • Subsidized healthcare coverage

  • Hybrid Working Schedule three days in HQ office (River North)

  • Unlimited PTO. We trust you to deliver results, then take real time to disconnect and recharge

  • A team that has each other’s backs. We’re a small, tight-knit group that genuinely cares about doing great work and leveling up together along the way.
