The Company You’ll Join Carta connects founders, investors, and limited partners through world-class software, purpose-built for everyone in venture capital, private equity and private credit. Trusted by 65,000+ companies in 160+ countries, Carta’s platform of software and services lays the groundwork so you can build, invest, and scale with confidence.

Carta’s Fund Administration platform supports 9,000+ funds and SPVs, representing nearly $185B in assets under management, with tools designed to enhance the strategic impact of fund CFOs. Recognized by Fortune, Forbes, Fast Company, Inc. and Great Places to Work, Carta is shaping the future of private market infrastructure.

Together, Carta is creating the end-to-end ERP platform for private markets. Traditional ERP solutions don’t work for Private Funds. Private capital markets need a comprehensive software solution to replace outdated spreadsheets and fragmented service providers. Carta’s software for the Office of the Fund CFO does just that - it’s a new category of software to make private markets look more like public markets - a connected ERP for private capital.

You’ll join the Demand Generation organization within Carta’s Marketing team. Our mission is to deliver high-impact programs that drive demand, build relationships, and generate pipeline across Carta’s customer segments.

In this role, you’ll partner closely with our Sales, Business Development, Product Marketing, Events, Insights, Policy, Communications and Demand Gen teams to lead geo-specific strategies and campaign planning. You will report to the Director of Demand Generation and will drive strategy, execute programs management, and analyze performance for optimization. The Regional Marketing Lead is a vital partner to Sales, responsible for creating localized, high-impact experiences that drive engagement, generate leads, accelerate deals, and contribute to revenue.

The Problems You'll Solve As a Lead Regional Marketer, you’ll lead the strategy behind Carta’s regional program efforts, defining which channels we show up in, who we target, and how we turn in-person moments into long-term customer engagement.

You’ll serve as a regional field marketer, developing annual and quarterly go-to-market (GTM) plans, owning program calendars, collaborating with Sales on account targeting, and analyzing campaign effectiveness. While large-scale event execution is led by the centralized Events team, you’ll take the lead on select smaller activations, ensuring every program—big or small—is strategically aligned with regional market needs and Carta’s overall GTM objectives.

What You’ll Do :

Own the regional marketing strategy for designated U.S. geographies, aligning tightly with sales priorities and business goals.

Partner with Sales, Business Development (BD), and Product Marketing Management (PMM) to define target audiences, strategic accounts, and messaging for each region.

Partner with Performance Marketing to execute targeted digital programs specific to the needs of the region, building demand and brand awareness.

Work with our Policy and Insights teams to augment our thought leadership and data-driven storytelling in priority regions.

Project manage regional marketing calendars, coordinating plans with internal teams and flagging needs for execution.

Build business cases and briefs for event activations (e.g., premium experiences, conferences, and partner events) collaborating with the Events team for delivery.

Present post-event findings and recommendations to Sales, Demand Gen, and GTM stakeholders by continuously optimizing future strategy.

Propose new program ideas based on data, market insights, and stakeholder feedback to improve pipeline contribution and ROI.

Ensure every regional experience reflects Carta’s mission and brand, creating meaningful and targeted touchpoints.

About You

Strong strategic thinking and project management skills that you’re comfortable building plans and managing cross-functional input, even if you’re not executing the event yourself.
