It’s the fastest way to create, prototype, and launch real-time AI video experiences at scale.

The role

We’re seeking a hands-on, execution-minded VP of Growth and Marketing to architect and lead the marketing strategy for Daydream, Livepeer’s real-time AI video product. You’ll own Daydream’s end-to-end growth strategy, from brand and product positioning to go-to-market execution, while building a world-class community around real-time generative media that consists of builders, applied researchers, and creative technologists.

What you’ll do

1. GTM strategy

• Build and lead Daydream’s growth strategy: define positioning, messaging, and narrative so Daydream becomes the default community for open source real-time AI video innovation.

• Own all core growth marketing functions: brand, product marketing, content, growth, community, events, PR/comms, standing up the right capabilities at the right time, and be accountable for the success of each function.

• Drive pre-PMF momentum: generate excitement and clear narrative before product-market fit is fully locked; source and onboard design partners; be hypothesis driven and turn early wins into repeatable playbooks for breakthrough use cases (e.g. real time visualization, live avatars, interactive broadcasts).

2. Community architecture

• Architect and execute community-led growth for the real-time AI video ecosystem amongst our key personas: builders, applied researchers, and creative technologists.

• Be (or architect) a visible, credible presence within technical communities. Inspire them by showcasing compelling use cases, and engage them through mechanisms that create authentic enthusiasm / participation.

• Coordinate with Livepeer Foundation Marketing to align on broader web3/decentralised ecosystem strategy and community engagement.

3. Operating model & leadership

• Balance multiple goals based on business needs - across community growth, developer adoption, product marketing, and early GTM traction.

• Recruit and lead a high-performing growth team; set clear metrics, rituals, and dashboards for ecosystem health (activation, retention, contributions, partner velocity). Have a player-coach mentality to execute with excellence and hire for leverage as motion matures.

• Operate as a peer-level sparring partner to technically deep founders; balance technical credibility with growth urgency.

Must-have experience

• AI domain fluency; ideally in AI creative tools, AI developer platforms, or open-source AI.
• Community builder with a track record in technical or emerging ecosystems, using strategies like creating pull through narrative, community partnerships, and more.
• Early-stage leadership (founder, early growth, or marketing lead strongly preferred).
• Tenure: 5+ years building technical communities; leadership: 2+ years leading teams or cross-functional initiatives.
• Strong network across AI/video/generative communities (models, companies, researchers, conferences).

Skills

• Operator’s mindset; experiment-driven, metrics-literate, and execution-oriented.
• Thrives in fast-paced, unstructured settings; creates clarity for self and team; strong stakeholder management up, down, and across.
• Technically credible with developers; translates research and infra into clear value.
• Strategic storyteller who can craft campaigns that create hype and opportunity around a theme or vision.

Nice to have

• Background in decentralised/web3 ecosystems.
• Experience with open-source community.
