Company Overview

Deepgram is the leading voice AI platform for developers building speech-to-text (STT), text-to-speech (TTS) and full speech-to-speech (STS) offerings. Over 200,000 developers build with Deepgram’s voice-native foundational models, accessed through APIs or as self-managed software, due to our unmatched accuracy, latency, and pricing. Our customers include software companies building voice products, co-sell partners working with large enterprises, and enterprises solving internal voice AI use cases.

The company ended 2024 cash-flow positive with 400+ enterprise customers, 3.3x annual usage growth across the past 4 years, over 50,000 years of audio processed, and over 1 trillion words transcribed. There is no organization in the world that understands voice better than Deepgram.

Now that we have over 1,000 paying customers and are growing over 100%, we are looking for a brand and awareness leader to put Deepgram on the map! This role reports directly to the CMO and plays an instrumental role in driving Deepgram’s long-term success.

If you are a modern, AI-forward brand and awareness leader—versatile in all aspects of driving awareness, including social media, PR, AR, influencers, video, digital and print advertising (yes, we will be buying highway billboards)—you may be the perfect candidate to join our team. We’re looking for someone who doesn’t just follow trends, but sets them—an inventive, boundary-pushing brand thinker who knows how to break through the noise and lead markets with bold ideas. In this role, you will work alongside the CMO in a highly visible position with frequent touchpoints to the CEO and executive team. This is a career-making opportunity to shape the public face of one of AI’s most exciting companies.
