Business Development

In office

Full-time

Firestorm is looking for a Director of Marketing who is equal parts strategist and executor. This is not a role for someone who writes strategies and hands them off. You will own the strategy, build the campaigns, and see them through to results.

You will lead a team that includes a marketing coordinator, podcast producer, events coordinator, a PR agency, and a roster of creative contractors covering video, photography, and graphic design. Your job is to give that team direction, clarity, and momentum, and then hold everyone accountable to a standard of work that reflects Firestorm’s ambition.

You will work closely with our Business Development team to ensure marketing is directly supporting our pipeline. You will craft the annual strategy, run the campaigns, lead the events, direct the content, and manage the budget.

We are not looking for someone who has spent their career in defense. But you need to understand how complex, relationship-driven markets work, how physical products are marketed, and how to build a brand in an industry where trust and credibility take time to earn. If you have built something real, marketed something tangible, and led a team that executed under pressure, we want to hear from you.

At Firestorm, we are building the future of expeditionary defense manufacturing and autonomous systems.

Modern conflict has exposed a fundamental problem: the systems needed most by operators are often too expensive, too slow to produce, and too difficult to sustain at scale. Firestorm exists to change that.

We develop mission-adaptable aerial systems and deployable manufacturing infrastructure designed to put capability directly into the hands of the warfighter. From modular unmanned aircraft to xCell -- our deployable microfactory -- our goal is to make defense systems rapidly deployable, adaptable, and producible at the point of need.

Backed by leading investors across defense, aerospace, and technology, Firestorm is redefining how defense capability is built, fielded, and sustained in contested environments.

We are looking for builders, operators, and problem-solvers who want to work on meaningful technology with real-world impact.

Base Salary: $160,000-195,000 USD base, commensurate with experience

Equity: Meaningful equity grant in a growth-stage defense technology company

The posted salary range reflects an estimate based on a variety of compensation factors, including but not limited to relevant experience, education, certifications, specialized skills, geographic location, and business needs. Actual compensation may vary, and this range is subject to change as our compensation structure or market conditions evolve.

Our culture fosters collaboration, respect, and trust, empowering passionate people to do their best work. We offer a competitive salary, comprehensive benefits, and opportunities for career growth. In addition to an opportunity to take part in an innovative, collaborative and fast-growing business with a highly motivated and skilled team, we also take pride in taking care of our employees. Here are just a few ways that we show our appreciation:
