The Role

Do you want to be a Chief Marketing Officer? With the right amount of grit and perseverance, you can become one within months (not years) of completing your MBA.

If you have a background in marketing and want to lead marketing teams while training to become a B2B SaaS marketing executive, youve come to the right place.

Kalungi is expanding. We are hiring ambitious, talented MBA marketers who want to get their hands dirty and rapidly grow their careers. This is a rare opportunity to become an expert in B2B SaaS marketing while leading startup marketing teams in their journeys toward exponential growth.

Kalungi focuses on B2B SaaS startups, building and managing their marketing functions and guiding them through go-to-market strategy, positioning, customer segmentation, building marketing teams, and all other marketing-related tasks.

Following this period, you will take point servicing our clients as their marketing leader, working hands-on with early-stage startups to launch their products, get them to product-market fit, grow ARR, and optimize CAC/cost to service in creative ways.

All hires will participate in a "probationary period" to train employees and determine if the role is a good fit. The probationary period is 3 to 6 months, depending on performance. This position is remote. Timezone will depend on the clients youre working with; however, you will mostly work with team members on both EST and PST.
