About the Role
We’re hiring a Research Marketing Associate to help connect Abaka AI’s research and technical work with the audiences who care about it. You’ll work closely with our research and marketing teams to turn papers, project updates, and technical ideas into clear, accurate, and engaging content.
A major part of the role is keeping our research communications moving: reviewing posts with researchers, coordinating edits and approvals, and helping publish timely announcements when work is accepted at conferences such as NeurIPS. You’ll also track what other companies are building, what topics are gaining attention on LinkedIn and X, and what new data needs are emerging across AI research.
This role is a strong fit for someone who enjoys social media, writes well, pays close attention to details, and is curious about AI. You don’t need to be a researcher, but you should be comfortable asking technical teammates questions and learning enough to represent their work accurately.
Responsibilities
Draft, edit, review, and publish posts about research papers, conference acceptances, technical projects, and company milestones.
Work with researchers and marketing teammates to check the accuracy, clarity, tone, and presentation of research content before publication.
Coordinate the review process for research posts, gather feedback, track revisions and approvals, and keep announcements on schedule.
Monitor LinkedIn, X, and other relevant channels for emerging AI research, discussion topics, and signals about what data researchers and companies need.
Research how other companies communicate their work and track relevant competitors, products, datasets, and data workflows.
Organize findings into concise updates that help the research and marketing teams identify content ideas and opportunities.
Maintain a content calendar for research and technical announcements, including upcoming papers, conferences, and project milestones.
Partner with designers and other marketing teammates to prepare visuals and adapt content for different channels.
Track basic content performance and use the results to improve future posts.
Minimum Qualifications
Experience creating or managing social media or marketing content through a job, internship, student organization, personal account, or independent project.
Excellent written English and the ability to turn complex information into clear, engaging posts.
Strong attention to detail, including the ability to catch inaccuracies, unclear wording, and inconsistencies before publication.
Interest in AI research, technology, and social media conversations.
Ability to research a topic, organize findings, and summarize what matters for others.
A proactive, collaborative working style and comfort coordinating feedback across multiple teammates.
Strong organization and follow-through when managing several posts and deadlines at once.
Preferred Qualifications
A portfolio of social posts, articles, or campaigns that shows strong writing and editorial judgment.
Experience managing an active social media account or building an audience online.
Familiarity with AI research conferences, papers, datasets, or the companies building AI models.
Experience conducting competitor research or tracking industry trends.
Experience supporting paper announcements, conference campaigns, or technical content.
Compensation & Benefits
The base salary range for this position is $80,000 – $110,000 USD annually. Compensation may vary outside this range based on a candidate’s qualifications, skills, competencies, and experience.
Base salary is one part of the total compensation package at Abaka AI. This role is also eligible for equity and a comprehensive benefits package, including health, dental, and vision coverage, PTO, and a flexible work schedule.
