Strategic Marketing Lead, Accounting Firms
About the role
The Role
Most marketing leaders inherit a playbook. This one gets to write and run it.
The motion is enterprise B2B—longer cycles, multiple stakeholders, relationships that close deals. Your primary segment is mid-market accounting firms adopting Meridian, the AI operating system Pilot developed for accounting firms.
Meridian is a sub-brand of Pilot, built specifically for firms that want to run their clients' books on agentic AI to fundamentally change their firms’ unit economics and service delivery model. Different product, different go-to-market, different buyer. The never-compete promise that anchors the brand is what makes this segment investable. Your job is to take that trust to market and turn it into pipeline at scale.
This role is built for a senior marketer who wants to operate as a high-leverage individual contributor. You're not looking to scale through a dedicated team immediately. You're looking to build the programs, write the messaging, and own the pipeline yourself, with shared specialists to make you faster. You'll also partner closely with our Franchisor motion, run by a dedicated IC, and our Partner Marketing & Events function. If the right coaching relationships develop with the ICs adjacent to this role, you'll grow into managing them. If they don't, you stay focused on your own work and we're all fine with that.
You'll report to the VP of Marketing and work with a shared team of senior specialists across lifecycle marketing, marketing operations, product marketing, content, and partner marketing. You'll have the support to build full-funnel programs without building a large team from scratch.
The marketing team has grown 3x in the last year and comprises of a group of senior channel experts: growth marketing, lifecycle, product marketing, partner marketing, content, and ops. They operate with high ownership and drive a significant share of Pilot's revenue. The team is collaborative, moves quickly, and takes its craft seriously.
We operate by values worth stating plainly: own your work, care more than expected, build things well, and figure it out.
