AI-First Marketing Manager

Pune, IndiaFull-timeMid · 3-6 years

About this role

Role Overview

AdLift is looking for an AI-First Marketing Manager — a rare blend of strategic marketer, creative storyteller, and AI power user who doesn't just talk about artificial intelligence but bakes it into every deliverable, every day. This person will redefine what a marketing manager does in 2026 and beyond.

What You Will Own

  • AI-Powered Content & Collateral — Build decks, one-pagers, case studies, and creatives at speed using AI tools. What used to take a week happens in hours.
  • Trend Intelligence — Actively mine Reddit, LinkedIn, and industry forums using Claude and other AI tools to surface trending topics and position AdLift's POV ahead of the curve.
  • Case Study Engine — Partner with internal teams (SEO, PPC, Content, Client Success) to rapidly extract results and craft compelling case studies — from raw data to polished story in a single working session.
  • AI Stack Evangelism — Be AdLift's internal champion for AI adoption. Introduce, test, and recommend the right tools for the right jobs across the agency.
  • Creative Production — Generate and iterate on visual assets, ad concepts, and campaign visuals using AI image and design tools, working with designers to accelerate output.
  • Campaign Storytelling — Turn performance data into narratives that resonate with CMOs and business owners across verticals like home services, dental, med spa, legal, and franchise.

Key Responsibilities

  • Produce client-facing and prospect-facing marketing materials (decks, PDFs, one-pagers) with minimal turnaround time using AI-assisted workflows.
  • Use Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, and other tools to track trending conversations on LinkedIn and Reddit, extracting insights and brief summaries for the marketing and BD teams weekly.
  • Develop and maintain a living case study library by interviewing internal teams, synthesizing data, and packaging wins in 2–3 hours per case study.
  • Evaluate, onboard, and document new AI tools for the marketing team — from writing assistants to image generators to research agents.
  • Collaborate with business development on conference and outreach strategies, creating vertical-specific pitch materials.
  • Own social media amplification of case studies, thought leadership, and campaign results across LinkedIn and other channels.
  • Train and mentor junior team members on AI-augmented marketing workflows.

Must-Have Skills & Qualifications

  • 3–6 years of experience in marketing, content, or brand roles — agency background preferred.
  • Hands-on proficiency with multiple AI platforms: Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Midjourney or Firefly, and emerging tools.
  • Demonstrated ability to build polished decks (Google Slides, PowerPoint, Canva, Gamma) — fast.
  • Strong writing skills: can craft narratives, case studies, and LinkedIn posts without heavy editing.
  • Comfort working with data: can read a performance dashboard and extract the "so what."
  • Self-starter who proactively identifies opportunities, doesn't wait for a brief, and ships work.
  • Familiarity with digital marketing services: SEO, PPC, social, content — understands client outcomes.

Nice-to-Have

  • Experience using AI for competitive research, market mapping, or trend scouting.
  • Exposure to HubSpot, Salesforce, or CRM-based marketing workflows.
  • Prior experience at a performance marketing or digital agency.
  • Knowledge of prompt engineering — can craft precise prompts to get high-quality AI outputs.
  • Video editing or short-form content creation using AI tools (Runway, Descript, etc.).
