Head of Staff (to the Head of Marketing)
TL;DR
Adelaide is seeking a detail-oriented Head of Staff to help build and maintain our brand! Combining a knack for project management with creativity and strategic thinking, you'll work with the marketing team to plan and build all aspects of our marketing efforts. Marketing experience is not required, and we encourage candidates with diverse educational and industry backgrounds to apply.
Who we are
Adelaide is the leader in one of the fastest-growing areas of digital advertising: attention metrics.
Since 2020, we’ve been a trusted measurement partner for 40% of Fortune 50 companies. They rely on our metric, AU, to maximize the effectiveness of media spend. AU is “the attention economy's most widely recognized metric,” according to Adweek, and we swept the measurement category in the 2024 Adexchanger awards.
Our business is growing rapidly—we’ve doubled revenue in just 18 months and grew our team by 45% last year. Earlier this year, in partnership with The New York Times, we launched Adelaide for Publishers, the next step in our vision to create a more fair and equitable marketplace for media.
Adelaide is backed by prominent investors such as Human Ventures (Joe Marchese), Aperiam Ventures (Joe Zawadzki & Eric Franchi), WGI (Jonah Goodhart), and Irwin Gotlieb.
While we have an office in NYC, we’re very remote-friendly and support flexible work arrangements.
