Job description

The Role

K1 is seeking a Marketing Coordinator to join our team and help bring the firm’s brand to life across every channel. Reporting directly to the Head of Marketing, this person will touch nearly every dimension of what we do — producing design-forward digital publications and microsites, developing portfolio company case studies, and creating polished, on-brand multimedia assets for an audience of founders, executives, and investors.

This is not a role where you wait for direction. You’ll contribute across the full marketing function and take on real ownership quickly — written, visual, and strategic. The right candidate is a natural storyteller with a design eye that shows in everything they touch — equally comfortable building a page in WordPress as crafting the narrative that lives on it, and energized by turning great content into something people actually want to read and look at.

• Manage the editorial calendar and monitor content performance, evolving strategy based on real engagement data

• Support visual design, content production, and social amplification for K1’s flagship events — gatherings that bring together portfolio executives, founders, and industry leaders across 40 events annually worldwide.

AI & Process Innovation

• Actively leverage AI tools to raise the speed and quality of marketing workflows — from content drafting to data synthesis to design iteration — without ever outsourcing your judgment




• Bring a builder’s mindset to recurring processes: identify inefficiencies and build repeatable systems that make the next cycle faster without sacrificing excellence

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree — first-generation college students are encouraged to apply


• 1–3 years of experience in marketing, design, communications, or a related field — experience at a creative agency, consumer brand, or in finance a plus

• A positive, team‑first attitude — proactive, solutions‑oriented, and no task beneath you
