The posting, in SambaNova's own words
archived Oct 26, 2026SambaNova is a leader in next-generation AI infrastructure, delivering a full-stack inference platform for customers worldwide. At the core of SambaNova's technology is the RDU (Reconfigurable Dataflow Unit) — a chip built on a dataflow architecture rather than the traditional GPU model. Its decode performance is especially strong for agentic workloads like multi-turn agents, code generation, and long-running applications. RDUs are packaged into SambaRack, rack-scale hardware that lets customers deploy state-of-the-art models with better performance, greater energy efficiency, and faster time to value. SambaNova is looking for a Head of Corporate Marketing (Senior Director or VP-level) to build and lead the corporate marketing function within a broader marketing organization led by the CMO. This is a rare opportunity to shape the brand, creative, web, content, and event presence of one of the most important independent players in AI infrastructure — at a moment when the market is actively re-evaluating what comes after GPUs. You will own corporate brand identity, website and digital presence, content creation, creative services, and large-scale corporate and industry events, while partnering closely with product marketing, demand generation, developer relations, and the CMO to make sure every external touchpoint — website, events, content, creative, executive platform — reinforces a single, sharp story about why SambaNova and our AI inference architecture matter. The right candidate has run corporate or brand marketing at some scale inside a fast-moving tech company, is comfortable being the connective tissue between the CMO's vision and the company's go-to-market motion, and knows how to build a team and function from a solid but still-forming base.
Responsibilities
Own SambaNova's overall brand strategy, brand identity, and positioning across all external channels. Own all creative services, ensuring visual and verbal consistency across web, events, campaigns, and content. Own SambaNova's website and web presence, including SEO/AEO strategy, to strengthen discoverability and digital credibility. Own content creation and production — including thought leadership, POV/POC content, and the company blog — executing against direction set by the CMO to reinforce a single, sharp narrative. Own corporate and large-scale third-party industry events, setting the strategy and ensuring flawless execution for major launches, conferences, and keynotes. Serve as a close partner to the CMO, translating brand and content strategy into flawless execution across all channels. Lead integrated brand marketing campaigns that tie together brand, product launches, events, and demand generation into one coherent story. Build, mentor, and scale a corporate marketing team, while working cross-functionally with product marketing, DevRel, Sales, and field teams. Manage relationships with outside creative and event agencies to keep execution high-quality and on-brand. Bring structure and rigor to marketing operations — planning, budgeting, and measuring the impact of brand, creative, and content investment. Represent the company externally as a credible technical and business spokesperson when needed.
