About Drug Hunter
Drug Hunter is the leading knowledge platform for drug discovery scientists, serving >200 of the world’s top pharma and biotech companies. Our mission is to accelerate the discovery of new medicines by connecting R&D teams with the insights they need to make critical scientific decisions.
We're looking for a hands‑on, strategic Director of Marketing to join our team and take ownership of our go‑to‑market motion as we scale. This role will be critical in driving awareness, capturing demand, and generating high‑quality opportunities for the commercial team.
This is a remote‑first position, with priority given to candidates in the Greater Boston metro area.
Strategy & Positioning
Define and refine our ICP, segmentation, and buyer personas (PhD scientists, computational biologists, R&D leaders, etc.).
Build a differentiated value proposition grounded in scientific and operational pain points.
Craft messaging that lands with a skeptical, scientific audience.
Pipeline Generation
Own pipeline targets in partnership with Sales.
Plan and run multi‑channel demand gen campaigns (digital, email, events, content, partnerships).
Stand up a scalable, metrics‑driven inbound engine.
Establish attribution, CAC, funnel health metrics, and reporting.
Sales Enablement
Build field‑ready content: decks, one‑pagers, use‑case narratives.
Support outbound with tight messaging, sequences, and ICP‑specific hooks.
Enable AEs to tell a crisp scientific story that resonates with technical buyers.
Content & Thought Leadership
Create or oversee content (blogs, whitepapers, webinars, case studies) that speaks like a scientist, not a marketer, in partnership with our internal team of PhD subject matter experts.
Turn customer insights, data, product capabilities, and scientific workflows into compelling narratives.
Expand brand credibility in biotech/pharma scientific communities.
Product Marketing
Own go‑to‑market for new features and products.
Translate scientific functionality into clear commercial value.
Conduct competitive analysis, market research, and voice‑of‑customer work.
Team Building
Manage and develop our internal marketing contributors.
Build out contractors and future internal hires (content, events, ops).
Scale the function from “scrappy startup” to “predictable GTM engine.”
What Success Looks Like
Clear ICP, messaging, and value prop adopted by Sales and resonating in the market
Predictable inbound pipeline with strong fit and conversion rates
Outbound sequences that generate quality meetings
Marketing‑sourced pipeline growing quarter‑over‑quarter
Sales feeling armed with A+ collateral and competitive positioning
Brand seen as credible and authoritative in biotech/pharma R&D circles.
Requirements – What You Bring
5‑10+ years in B2B marketing, ideally with biotech/pharma customers, scientific software/tools/data/content
Experience selling to PhDs, medicinal chemists, computational scientists, or related research leaders.
Proven record of building a predictable demand engine
Strong product marketing instincts, especially translating technical concepts into commercial impact
You can write: clearly, concisely, and credibly

Experience with PLG motions or usage‑based products.
Benefits
