We’ve been on this journey since 2011, and today more than 10,000 companies use our platform to provide outstanding customer support. We’ve been fully remote from the beginning, and have a team of 130+ people all over the world. We love crafting beautiful products and growing a business together, but we're also trying to do something bigger. We're building a company that brings out your best and leaves the world a better place — a company that seeks balance between profit and purpose. That's why we've been a Certified B Corporation since 2019 and have pledged 1% of our equity back to the community. Help Scout’s success hinges on hiring talented, high-accountability people who want to be part of creating a culture where we all feel challenged and supported to do our best work. We hope that excites you to join us! This role is 100% remote and open to *US-based** candidates at this time.*

Your Impact

Help Scout is at a pivotal moment. We’ve laid the foundation of a strong, customer-loved product with a distinct brand and a mission-driven team. Now we’re sharpening our go-to-market motion to drive the next phase of growth. The 2026 strategy is focused, ambitious, and rooted in clear outcomes from pipeline and trials to customer expansion. As VP of Marketing, you’ll step into a company that’s product-led but ready to scale its reach and influence. You’ll shape not just how we grow, but how we tell our story, differentiate in a competitive space, and bring our values to life at every stage of the customer journey. This is a rare opportunity to lead full-funnel marketing at a remote-first company that believes in craft, autonomy, and building things that matter. You won’t be fixing something broken; you’ll be building what’s next. You will be overseeing a team of people responsible for content, design, product marketing, lifecycle marketing, performance marketing and will be supported by an AEO expert and a top brand agency. This is a hands-on leadership role in a remote-first environment. You should expect high accountability, meaningful autonomy, and the opportunity to build, test, and refine how marketing drives growth at Help Scout.
