ABOUT CORTEA
Cortea is building the quality layer for AI-powered audits.
Our Audit Quality Agents help audit firms use AI with greater trust, consistency, and professional oversight. Built around auditing standards and review workflows, they enable firms to deliver more reliable and reviewable work while increasing capacity across the audit process.
We're building an AI-native company from day one. We believe small teams, equipped with AI and empowered to move fast, can solve some of the biggest challenges facing the audit profession.
We're looking for our first Product Marketing & Content Lead to help define how the market understands Cortea, why firms adopt our products, and how we become the category-defining voice in AI-powered audit.
THE ROLE
This isn't a traditional marketing role.
As our first Product Marketing & Content Lead, you'll shape how the market understands Cortea and how our customers experience our products—from first impression to every product release.
You'll report directly to the VP Marketing and work closely with the founders, product, design, sales, and customer success teams. You'll have a seat at the table with the leadership team, helping shape our product narrative, go-to-market strategy, and category positioning.
This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys turning complex technology into simple, compelling stories. You'll own product positioning, messaging, launches, customer communications, thought leadership, and our content engine.
You'll have significant ownership from day one and the opportunity to build this function as Cortea grows.
