Head of Marketing & Brand (Fractional)

Alchemist Accelerator, an early-stage venture firm backing deeply technical enterprise founders since 2012, is institutionalising more than a decade of commercialisation work. The firm has backed over 750 companies and is now formalising its public positioning to reflect this evolution. This fractional brand leadership role is central to that effort.

The successful candidate will own message architecture across all stakeholder audiences, including founders, limited partners, venture partners, and the broader ecosystem. This is a brand and narrative role rather than a conversion or demand-generation function. The role reports directly to the CEO and works across Alchemist's extended leadership and partner network. Bay Area presence for key moments is preferred, though the engagement is otherwise flexible.

• Develop and maintain a source-of-truth message architecture across all stakeholder audiences, ensuring consistent positioning at every touchpoint
• Plan and execute a coordinated public launch, including anchor announcements and sequenced market moments
• Own the firm's web presence, retiring legacy language and aligning all pages to current positioning
• Translate portfolio commercial milestones into case studies, press coverage, and founder stories built around enterprise traction
• Support LP- and partner-facing materials, maintaining a unified thesis across all fund communications
• Elevate public profiles of Alchemist partners and team members, including bios, speaking engagements, and podcast content

• 10 or more years in venture, startup, or B2B marketing, including brand or category leadership experience
• Demonstrated ability to position a company or launch a category narrative, with a preference for substance over inspirational copy
• Exceptional writing and editorial skills, with the ability to produce and polish messaging documents, web copy, and founder stories directly
• Experience marketing to founders, limited partners, and the broader venture ecosystem
• Comfort operating fractionally with high autonomy, clear priorities, and no bureaucratic overhead
• Experience managing agencies, freelancers, and designers against a coordinated narrative and launch calendar
