Stoke is building the next-generation infrastructure for space – and the world needs to know why it matters. We’re looking for a Director of Brand & Marketing to take full ownership of how Stoke shows up to the world: our voice, our vision, our visuals, and our story. This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, sees the big picture, and has the taste and grit to execute.

At Stoke, brand strategy means owning our identity – why we exist, how we differentiate, and how that story is carried through every touchpoint, from website to investor decks to mission campaigns. This is the core of the job. Everything else (e.g., content, visuals, campaigns) is a means to that strategic end. You will shape our brand strategy and own its execution, distilling technical progress into powerful narratives, creating clear and consistent messaging, and making Stoke impossible to ignore.

You’ll work closely with the executive, engineering, and business development teams to turn technical progress into sharp public-facing narratives. You must be ready to stay focused, move fast, self-direct, and learn on the fly.
