Director of Marketing

Toronto, Ontario, Canada Martyn Bassett Associates Full time

About the Client:

Our client is a Toronto-based startup reimagining how homeowners maintain and manage their most valuable asset: their home. Built on a community-driven model, their app connects homeowners with trusted local service providers, recommended by real neighbours, not algorithms. It is more than a marketplace, it is a digital ecosystem that fosters trust, transparency, and collaboration between homeowners and local service providers.

The Opportunity:

THE DAY HAS COME

Our client is ready to stand up a marketing function

The "working title" of this role is Director of Marketing, but the mission behind the title is to build a narrative with value messaging. In this era of "founder mode," you will be the Founding Marketer and influence EVERYTHING without building an empire of direct reports.

That ^^ will excite the right person.

Your role will be the clear editorial authority across all marketing efforts. This isn't a narrow, metric-driven-only role—we need someone who thinks holistically about the entire marketing stack. Since our client is a PLG business, Product Marketing will be central to everything.

The Skills/Requirement Needed to Succeed:

  • Expert level in product marketing: this must be your core strength
  • Track record as the primary marketing person or team of one at a fast-moving, zero-to-one startup
  • War stories of moving the needle in previous roles
  • Currently looking to step up from being the only product marketer to owning the full marketing function

Capabilities:

  • Editorial authority with strong judgment on what's ready to ship
  • Excellent copywriting and communication skills
  • Can drive strategy across the full marketing stack while executing where needed
  • T-shaped skills: Deep in product marketing, capable across demand gen, content, growth

Mindset:

  • Holistic thinker who understands interconnections, not just isolated metrics
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and flexible budgets ("make it make sense")
  • High ownership mentality: you thrive without arbitrary constraints
  • Values trust, clarity, and insight over "BS" and "sizzle" and hype
