Why You Should Join Us

Plaud is building the next generation intelligence infrastructure and interfaces to capture, extract, and utilize intelligence from what people say, hear, see, and think.

  • Plaud is a bootstrapped, skyrocketing, profitable company with a $300M revenue run rate achieved in just three years.
  • Define the next-gen paradigm for human-AI interaction.
  • Gain exposure to cutting-edge AI for Pro tools and play a direct role in our global expansion.
  • Work with passionate teammates who value innovation, collaboration, and customer success.
  • Grow your career in a culture that champions continuous learning and fast career development.

The role

Plaud's marketing now runs across the Americas and Europe, with global campaigns, regional plans, and a growing creative team behind them. This role builds the operating structure that keeps that work aligned, on brand, and on budget.

You'll own how global brand work moves from strategy to production to regional rollout. You'll also make that process faster and more cost efficient. You'll report to the Head of Global Marketing and partner daily with GTM teams, product marketing, global marketing leads, creative, regional marketing, and localization.

What you will own

BRAND OPERATIONS AND GOVERNANCE

  • Run global brand management day to day, including the operating rhythms, standards, and decision rights that keep work moving.
  • Build clear processes for turning global strategy into regional plans, so rollout is structured and repeatable.
  • Roll out Plaud's brand, strategic, and creative systems across the organization, and track how well teams adopt them.
  • Partner daily with GTM teams, product marketing, global marketing leads, creative, regional marketing, and localization.

CREATIVE PROCESS

  • Partner with the creative team to design the end-to-end workflow: how work is briefed, produced, reviewed, and approved.
  • Set intake standards, review cycles, and turnaround expectations that give creative clear priorities and fewer revision rounds.

PRODUCTION

  • Own key production across content, brand assets, and photo and video shoots.
  • Partner with creative to streamline how assets are built, including the right AI tooling and a more efficient shoot model.
  • Manage production vendors, timelines, and costs, and build in-house production capability where it improves quality or cost.

GLOBAL BRAND BUDGET

  • Support the management of the global brand budget, from annual planning through tracking spend against plan.
  • Keep regional brand budgets aligned to global priorities, and report spend and efficiency to leadership.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE IN YEAR ONE

  • One creative intake and review process in use across global and regional teams.
  • Production delivered on time and at lower cost, with a clear shoot model that uses AI tooling where it fits.
  • A documented global-to-regional rollout playbook used for every tentpole campaign.
  • Brand budget running with clear owners, defined workflows, and monthly reporting.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years in brand operations, creative operations, production, and/or marketing program management
  • Hands-on production experience across shoots, content, and asset pipelines, either in-house or agency side.
  • A track record of building processes that teams adopt, across multiple markets or time zones.
  • Experience owning budgets and vendor contracts, with fluency in spend tracking and forecasting.
  • Working knowledge of AI tools for asset creation, and sound judgment on where they improve output.
  • Experience working with localization or multi-market campaign rollout.
  • Calm, clear communication with executives, creatives, and regional teams.

Preferred qualifications

  • Experience in consumer technology, hardware, or AI.
  • Experience working with creative and marketing teams across the US, Europe, and Asia.
