Company Overview

Deepgram is the leading platform underpinning the emerging trillion-dollar Voice AI economy, providing real-time APIs for speech-to-text (STT), text-to-speech (TTS), and building production-grade voice agents at scale. More than 200,000 developers and 1,300+ organizations build voice offerings that are ‘Powered by Deepgram’, including Twilio, Cloudflare, Sierra, Decagon, Vapi, Daily, Cresta, Granola, and Jack in the Box. Deepgram’s voice-native foundation models are accessed through cloud APIs or as self-hosted and on-premises software, with unmatched accuracy, low latency, and cost efficiency. Backed by a recent Series C led by leading global investors and strategic partners, Deepgram has processed over 50,000 years of audio and transcribed more than 1 trillion words. There is no organization in the world that understands voice better than Deepgram.

Company Operating Rhythm

At Deepgram, we expect an AI-first mindset—AI use and comfort aren’t optional, they’re core to how we operate, innovate, and measure performance.

Every team member who works at Deepgram is expected to actively use and experiment with advanced AI tools, and even build your own into your everyday work. We measure how effectively AI is applied to deliver results, and consistent, creative use of the latest AI capabilities is key to success here. Candidates should be comfortable adopting new models and modes quickly, integrating AI into their workflows, and continuously pushing the boundaries of what these technologies can do.

Additionally, we move at the pace of AI. Change is rapid, and you can expect your day-to-day work to evolve just as quickly. This may not be the right role if you’re not excited to experiment, adapt, think on your feet, and learn constantly, or if you’re seeking something highly prescriptive with a traditional 9-to-5.

About the Company

In a world full of noise, we choose to listen. As a foundational AI company, we're not just turning speech into text and vice versa, but turning conversation into understanding. Every voice becomes data, every pause becomes insights, and every interaction becomes smarter than the last. Deepgram isn't just processing language, because we're in the business of understanding better than before.

Founded in 2015, Deepgram's voice-native foundation models—accessed through cloud APIs or as self-hosted/on-premises APIs—deliver unmatched accuracy, low latency, and competitive pricing. Having processed over 50,000 years of audio and transcribed over 1 trillion words, no organization in the world understands voice better than Deepgram.

Today, 200,000+ developers and 1,300+ organizations build on Deepgram, which raised a $130M Series C at a $1.3B+ valuation and is consistently ranked a G2 Leader in voice recognition and deep learning.

Team Overview

Voice is at an inflection point, and marketing is how the market finds out. This role owns Deepgram's demand-generation engine—the function that turns our voice-AI leadership into qualified pipeline and revenue. You’ll lead the strategy, performance, and execution of the company’s demand engine across integrated campaigns, paid media, web, events, and field. You’ll partner shoulder-to-shoulder with Sales and RevOps on the full funnel, grow and shape your team to accelerate our growth, and report to the CMO. We’ve got a huge opportunity, especially at the top of the funnel, and you’ll lead the charge in grabbing it

Key Goals

Own the demand-gen → revenue engine end to end: set the strategy and grow marketing-sourced qualified pipeline

Build a repeatable, AI-native demand system that compounds, not a calendar of one-off campaigns and events

Concentrate spend where Deepgram wins: lift pipeline contribution from teams embedding voice at scale

Improve pipeline efficiency—bring cost-per-opportunity down while holding or improving lead quality

Tighten the experiment-to-learning loop: run structured experiments per quarter, each with a documented readout that changes the next bet

Partner with Sales and RevOps to lift lead → opportunity → closed-won conversion

Build and develop the team: hire, level, and grow an inclusive, high-performing revenue marketing org

Stand up attribution and reporting that gives the exec team and board a clear line of sight from spend to revenue

Minimum Skills, Knowledge, & Capabilities

Operates AI-native: designs human+AI demand-gen workflows as the default operating mode, not occasional AI use

Builds systems that eliminate recurring work (campaign ops, lead routing, reporting) instead of re-solving them every quarter
