Head of Marketing

AI is only as powerful as the tools it can access. Model Context Protocol (MCP) is emerging as the standard for connecting AI to tools & systems—but enterprises can’t adopt it safely without security, observability, and control. That’s where we come in.

At Runlayer, we're building the AI enablement layer for modern enterprises. Our platform enables organizations to safely connect agents to their systems through MCP, with the security, auditability, and management enterprises demand. We’re a well-funded early-stage team that built Zapier's AI platform.

As our Head of Marketing, you’ll take ownership of building and scaling our GTM engine from the ground up.
