How to Apply for Technical Marketing Lead
at Verdigris
🏢 About Verdigris
Verdigris is revolutionizing energy management by combining smart sensor hardware with AI-powered analytics to help enterprises reduce energy waste and achieve sustainability goals. Unlike traditional energy consultants, they provide real-time, actionable insights through their proprietary technology platform. Working here means contributing directly to combating climate change while being at the forefront of AI applications in the physical world.
About This Role
This Technical Marketing Lead role is fundamentally about building AI-native systems that automate content creation, sales enablement, and marketing operations at Verdigris. You'll be responsible for creating the infrastructure that translates complex AI-driven energy analytics into compelling buyer messaging and ensures all go-to-market content stays synchronized as the product evolves. This isn't just a content role—it's about architecting the systems that scale marketing impact.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might start with refining an AI prompt workflow that automatically generates updated demo narratives based on new product features, then meeting with product teams to understand technical updates that need translation into sales enablement materials. Afternoon could involve building a new automation in n8n that syncs customer feedback from Salesforce into the content generation system, ensuring messaging evolves based on real buyer conversations.
🚀 Application Tools
🎯 Who Verdigris Is Looking For
- Has 4-8 years in B2B marketing with hands-on experience building marketing automation systems from scratch (not just using existing tools), preferably at a startup where they wore multiple hats
- Demonstrates practical experience with AI coding environments like Claude Code or Cursor, and has actually trained and deployed custom GPTs/Claude projects for marketing workflows
- Can point to specific examples where they built automations using tools like Zapier, Make, n8n, or custom code to reduce manual work in content generation or sales enablement
- Has experience owning tooling decisions for CMS, content operations, and attribution systems in a technical B2B context, ideally in energy tech, IoT, or AI companies
📝 Tips for Applying to Verdigris
Showcase a specific automation or tool you built (not just used) in your portfolio—include metrics on time saved or efficiency gained, ideally related to content generation or sales enablement
Mention your experience with AI coding environments by name (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) and describe a concrete project where you used them for marketing workflows
Research Verdigris's specific product capabilities (like their sensor technology and AI analytics) and suggest one idea for how you'd translate a technical feature into buyer-centric messaging
Include a link to a landing page you've shipped that demonstrates your technical marketing skills, ideally with conversion metrics
Tailor your resume to highlight systems-building experience over content creation—emphasize where you built the infrastructure, not just produced the output
✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter
