About Menlo
Menlo Research is an Applied R&D lab building Asimov, an open-source humanoid robot platform, and the full software stack that powers it. Our mission is to make humanoid labor economically viable, turning software into physical labor at scale. We build across the full stack: hardware architecture, locomotion, autonomy, simulation, and infrastructure. We move fast, ship to real robots, and open-source everything we can. If you want your work to matter beyond a paper or a demo, this is the place.
The Role
You are the PM of marketing. You own the strategy, the key partnerships, and the press, and you keep everything marketing does tied tightly to the product, the business, and the technical teams building it. This is the most generalist role on the team. You set the direction, you connect the dots, and you are just as comfortable writing the narrative as you are running the plan behind it.
What You'll Do
Own the overall marketing strategy and turn the company roadmap into a story worth telling
Drive key partnerships that expand our reach, credibility, and distribution
Own press and media relations, and act as a trusted external voice for Menlo
Keep marketing aligned with product, business, and engineering, so the message always matches the machine
Set positioning and messaging for Asimov and the Menlo Platform
Build and prioritize the marketing roadmap, then decide what ships and what waits
Plan and run launches that make each milestone land
Measure what is working, kill what is not, and double down where it counts
Shape and grow the marketing team over time
What We Look For
A generalist marketer who has worn many hats and can move between strategy and execution without friction
A track record of owning marketing strategy and shipping launches that moved the needle
Real strength in partnerships and press, with the network and instincts to match
Credibility with engineers and researchers, and the ability to translate their work for the rest of the world
Comfort being the connective tissue across teams, keeping everyone pointed the same way
A bias to action and genuine comfort in an early-stage, fast-changing environment
Excellent writing and storytelling
Nice to Have
A background in deep tech, hardware, robotics, or AI
An existing press and partnership network you can activate on day one
Experience building a marketing function from close to zero
Enough technical fluency to hold your own in a room full of builders
Why Join Menlo
We are a physical AI company building real robots, and marketing sits at the center of the story. You own strategy, partnerships, and press outright, with the mandate to shape the whole function and a direct line to product, research, and leadership, with no layers to fight through. You get to build in public at a company where the work speaks for itself, with the room to shape the function as we grow.
A Note on AI
You don't need deep AI expertise for every role, but we do expect everyone at Menlo to be intellectually curious, drawn to tinkering and discovery, and excited to use AI as a real collaborator in their work. For some roles, AI fluency is a core requirement. When that's the case, we'll say so explicitly in the qualifications. People who thrive here don't treat AI as a novelty. They use it to think better, and make their work easier for others to build on.
Equal Opportunity and Accommodations
We hire talented people from a wide range of backgrounds. If you're excited about a role but don't meet every bullet, we still encourage you to apply. Menlo Research is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of any legally protected characteristic. Menlo provides reasonable accommodations during the application process. If you need one, please let your recruiter know.

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for Menlo. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
