What the job involves
- Hostaway is looking for a Senior Director of Brand and Content to build and lead the brand, content, and creative engine for our next stage of growth as a leading B2B SaaS platform for professional short-term rental operators.
- This is a high-impact SaaS marketing leadership role for someone who can shape our market narrative, elevate our category presence, and create content and creative programs that support awareness, pipeline, customer acquisition, and revenue growth
- You’ll build the function largely from the ground up, including the team, operating model, workflows, AI-enabled production systems, and quality standards.

- Build the in-house Creative team from scratch including designers, copywriters, motion/video, and production talent
- Across Content/Brand/Creative, utilize AI teammates who will drive efficiency while humans drive quality, designing workflows where generative tools handle research, drafting, variation, localization, and asset production, while humans own strategy, narrative, taste, and final quality
- Partner closely with Product Marketing, Demand Generation, Sales, Marketing Operations and Product to align brand, content, and creative to support GTM priorities and drive revenue growth
- Hire, mentor, and develop the brand, content, and creative team, making smart early bets on senior leaders, hands-on makers, and hybrid AI-native talent
