Role Description

Adept Materials is looking for an ambitious, intellectually curious marketer to help grow Lilypad: an award-winning paint and primer system that actively manages moisture in buildings to improve durability, energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and indoor air quality.

You'll join a small but growing team and work directly with the CEO and CFO as a genuine thought partner, helping define how we tell our story, build our brand, and reach customers across consumer, professional, retail, and institutional markets.

We're looking for someone who loves solving difficult communication problems. Lilypad is a fundamentally new product in a mature industry, so success depends on finding creative ways to communicate technical innovation through compelling stories, strong evidence, and memorable campaigns.

What you'll do

• Develop the overall marketing and communications strategy for Lilypad.
• Transform technical data, customer successes, and pilot results into compelling stories.
• Create campaigns that build awareness, generate demand, and support multiple sales channels.
• Think creatively about unconventional marketing opportunities, while always reinforcing a premium, sophisticated brand. The company is open to big ideas from elegant brand campaigns to carefully executed guerrilla marketing concepts.
• Serve as the final editorial and creative quality gate for customer-facing materials, ensuring exceptional copy, design, and brand consistency across everything we publish.

We're looking for someone who...

• Combines technical fluency with a passion for turning complex technology into messages that resonate.
• Thinks deeply, is resourceful, and is eager to learn.
• Thrives wearing many hats in a fast-moving startup.
• Is an outstanding writer and editor with meticulous attention to detail.
• Has excellent visual judgment and can recognize clean, sophisticated graphic design.
• Thinks strategically but enjoys rolling up their sleeves to execute.

Nice to haves

• Experience marketing building products, construction, architecture, real estate, home improvement, or related industries.
• Experience with PR, digital marketing, brand development, or product launches.
• Familiarity with premium consumer brands or design-oriented marketing.

Our mission

We're building materials that make buildings better for both their occupants and the planet. If you're excited about helping introduce genuinely new technology to the world and shaping the voice of a company from an early stage, we'd love to hear from you.
