Blackbird Labs Inc Director of Marketing sets the strategic vision and owns execution for Blackbird's brand across marketing disciplines and channels. This role manages brand voice, campaigns, PR strategy, and media relationships.

Responsibilities

The Director of Marketing sets the high-level strategic vision for Blackbird's brand and owns its execution across every marketing discipline and channel including brand, communications, and consumer growth alike. You'll define how Blackbird shows up in the world and make sure that vision holds together everywhere a diner or partner encounters it, from a press mention to an event.
You'll translate strategy into execution across brand campaigns, public relations, and acquisition. This is a builder role: the brand foundations are in place, and your job is to set the direction for where they go next and make sure every team and channel is pulling in the same direction.
We're looking for someone who can operate at both altitudes — setting the vision for what Blackbird's Marketing direction should take, and staying close enough to execution to make sure that vision actually ships.
Own the Blackbird brand voice and identity across all consumer channels
Develop campaigns that feel culturally credible: copy, visual, experiential
Build Blackbird's presence in the cities and dining communities where it matters most
Partner with the Restaurants team to make sure brand work serves both sides of the network
PR & Communications

Build and run a proactive PR strategy that keeps Blackbird part of the conversation in dining, tech, and culture press
Manage relationships with PR agencies, freelance writers, and media contacts
Prepare messaging and talking points for press moments, partnership announcements, and, when needed, crisis response
