Flexcompute is leading the charge in transforming the engineering simulation landscape with our groundbreaking ultra-fast simulation technology. Our suite of products, including the acclaimed Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software Flow360, is at the forefront of the industry, revolutionizing how simulations are conducted across various sectors. Our inception is rooted in the pioneering foresight of experts from Stanford University and MIT, supported by significant investments from top-tier venture capital firms. As innovators, we’re dedicated to continuously pushing the boundaries, driving rapid growth, and challenging the traditional norms of the multi-billion-dollar engineering simulation market. We’re seeking a hands-on, high-energy Head of Marketing to own and scale our global marketing strategy. This role is ideal for a creative, resourceful marketer who thrives in startup environments, moves fast, and can balance strategy with execution. You’ll be building the marketing function with a small but mighty team - rolling up your sleeves to deliver results while shaping the company’s brand, growth engine, and go-to-market play.
