What the job involves
- Marketing at LILT is our strategic growth engine. We’re responsible for taking LILT out into the world, shaping how people understand our brand, our product, and the category we’re building
- We’re expert storytellers who work across the entire funnel, from awareness to conversion to expansion
- We partner closely with Sales, Product, and Customer Success to drive pipeline, accelerate adoption, and position LILT as the market leader in enterprise AI translation
- The team is led by our CMO, based in London after a decade in Silicon Valley, where they scaled their last startup from zero to $100M ARR and a $3B acquisition
- We’re building a world-class team in both London and San Francisco — and we’re looking for ambitious marketers who want to grow fast, learn from seasoned operators, and help shape the future of AI and language
- Whether it’s crafting compelling narratives, launching new capabilities, running high-impact campaigns, or engaging our community, we move fast, think big, and care deeply about quality. If you’re excited about AI, language, and building a category-defining company, you’ll thrive here
- We’re looking for a Director of Product Marketing to lead how we position LILT to the world. This is a high-impact leadership role at the intersection of AI, language, and global enterprise growth, reporting directly to the CMO
- You’ll own the entire product marketing function, from messaging and positioning to launches, enablement, and go-to-market strategy
- You’ll be the bridge between Product, Sales, and Marketing — making sure everything we build is brought to market with clarity, confidence, and commercial impact
- Positioning and Messaging: Develop compelling narratives that clearly differentiate LILT in a crowded and fast-moving AI space. Ensure messaging resonates across commercial and federal markets
- Launch Strategy: Plan and execute product and feature launches. Own the go-to-market process in partnership with Product, Growth, and Communications teams
- Sales Enablement: Build the content, tools, and training that give Sales and ADRs the confidence to win. Continuously refine materials based on field feedback
- Persona and Market Insights: Deepen our understanding of buyers, user segments, and competitors. Use insights to inform messaging and go-to-market strategy
- Thought Leadership: Drive content, analyst engagement, event participation, and speaking opportunities to grow LILT’s visibility and influence in the market
- This role is ideal for someone who’s strategic, analytical, and hands-on. Someone who’s ready to elevate product marketing into a key growth engine for the company
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Widely available tools like Google Translate are not fit for complex, operationally intense processes that require expert translations. Manual methods of yesterday can't scale with the volume of digital information produced in the world today. Lilt works with companies, schools, and government agencies to provide AI-powered enterprise language translation. Lilt’s platform combines a translation management system and neural machine translation with human language experts to create a “human-in-the-loop” approach.
While companies like AI Translate offer intelligent machine translations, they still have linguists fine-tune and correct the texts afterward. With the Lilt platform, AI and humans work in collaboration through the text together, with the AI making real-time sentence suggestions and the linguist reviewing them immediately. This collaboration creates 3-5x better efficiency compared with traditional human-only translation services, aiding in Lilt's substantial rounds of funding.
Clients such as Asics, Canva, and Digital Ocean use Lilt technology for urgent campaigns and large-scale localisation projects. Recently, Lilt launched its V3.5 translation models, which improve quality by 15% to 20%, significantly enhancing translation accuracy and efficiency. Additionally, Lilt appointed a new Chief Revenue Officer to propel growth and scale, emphasising its commitment to expanding its market presence and improving its services further.
