This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2432 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 31% sure that is the right code. Profound is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
This could also be SOC 1132 (Marketing, sales and advertising directors) or SOC 1139 (Functional managers and directors not elsewhere classified). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
About the role
Profound is the fastest-growing AI marketing platform, used by 15% of the Fortune 500 including Comcast, Estée Lauder, and Walmart, and innovators like Ramp, MongoDB, and Figma. It is where marketing teams do the work: research, briefs, content, campaigns, reporting, all in one place, alongside agents that carry the load with them.
Built on 2B+ real user prompts and growing, Profound’s data shows you what people ask AI and what the models say back. Profound's AI Marketer joins that data with deep context about our customers to find the opportunities worth acting on, and then puts agents to work: automating reporting, drafting content, auditing pages for readability, running competitive research. It measures what works and gets better every day.
We named this role. In April 2026, at Zero Click San Francisco, Profound introduced a new role to the marketing org: the Marketing Engineer . A marketer who went deep on building, who looks at a manual process and sees a system. Since then, marketers everywhere have told us they finally have a name for what they do, companies like Google and Figma have started hiring for it, and hundreds have been certified through Profound University . Read the Marketing Engineer manifesto , hear from practitioners on the Marketing Engineer podcast , or read our Founding Marketing Engineer's first-hand take on the role .
Now we’re building the team that brings Marketing Engineering to the world’s biggest brands and our agency and consulting partners. As a Forward Deployed Marketing Engineer, you’ll embed with customer teams, often onsite, to understand their marketing work, identify where Profound can help, and build workflows that become part of everyday delivery. You’ll combine marketing judgment with deep product knowledge to help teams produce better work and use Profound confidently.
As the Manager, Forward Deployed Marketing Engineers, you'll lead and develop the team that brings Marketing Engineering to the world's biggest brands. You'll set the standard for how Profound deploys inside customer marketing teams, and you'll be accountable for whether the workflows your team ships become part of how those customers work every week.
