Field Marketing, Fellowship Program at Obvious

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 18:16:32 +0000
Employer: Obvious Expires: 05/14/2026 The Obvious Fellowship Program is building the first generation of AI-native operators — through real work, world-class mentorship, and the AI fluency that sets you apart.Most marketing happens behind a screen. This doesn't.The Field Marketing Fellow role is for someone who thrives in real life — organizing dinners, running workshops, building community, and creating moments that turn strangers into believers. You'll be the face of Obvious in cities where AI builders, founders, and small business owners are looking for an edge.You'll host founder dinners in SF. Run small business AI workshops in Nashville. Organize hackathons at Georgia Tech, Stanford, and NYU. Create pop-up activations in Austin that people talk about for weeks. And you'll do it all with the autonomy to experiment, the budget to execute, and the backing of a company that's redefining what AI can do.This isn't event planning. It's field-building. You'll connect people, spark ideas, and create the kind of in-person energy that turns into momentum for Obvious.This isn't a 9-to-5. It's intense — fast iteration, high expectations, and a lot of building and shipping. If that sounds exhausting, this isn't for you. If that sounds like exactly what you've been looking for — keep reading. What You'll DoMarketing activations and pop-ups — Dream up and execute creative IRL campaigns. Coffee shop takeovers, co-working space pop-ups, guerrilla marketing stunts — whatever gets attention and drives awareness.Founder dinners — Curate and host intimate dinners (10–15 people) in major markets. You'll bring together the right people, set the vibe, and create conversations that lead to partnerships, customers, and word-of-mouth.Small business workshops — Design and run hands-on AI workshops for small business owners. You'll teach them how to use Obvious to save time, make better decisions, and grow faster — and turn attendees into advocates.University hackathons — Organize and lead hackathons at top CS programs (Georgia Tech, Stanford, NYU, and others). You'll recruit participants, secure sponsorships, coordinate logistics, and create experiences that get students excited about building with AI.Build community — Track attendees, follow up, nurture relationships. You'll turn one-time event participants into long-term community members and customers.Content and amplification — Document everything. Photos, videos, recaps. You'll work with the marketing team to turn IRL moments into digital content that extends the reach.Travel and represent — You'll be based in Atlanta, but you'll travel regularly to SF, NYC, Nashville, Austin, and wherever the opportunity is. You're comfortable on the road and energized by new cities. What We're Looking ForNatural connector — You're the person who walks into a room and knows how to make people feel welcome. You build rapport fast, remember names, and create environments where interesting conversations happen.Operational excellence — You can plan an event from scratch — venue, catering, A/V, signage, run-of-show. You sweat the details because you know they matter.Comfortable with ambiguity — There's no playbook for this role. You'll figure out what works through experimentation. You're resourceful, scrappy, and don't wait for permission.Strong communicator — You can write a compelling invite, give a clear workshop presentation, and hold a room's attention. You're articulate in person and online.Travel-ready — Based in Atlanta, but expect 30–40% travel. You're comfortable navigating new cities, managing logistics on the fly, and being away from home.AI-curious — You don't need to be an engineer, but you need to understand why AI matters and talk about Obvious's value proposition with confidence.Entrepreneurial energy — You've organized something before — a club, a conference, a side hustle. You know how to rally people around an idea and make things happen.Relentlessly hardworking — Fast iteration, high expectations, a lot of building and shipping. You're driven to do exceptional work.New grad or no degree required. Not current college students — this requires full-time commitment. What You'll GetTravel budget — Flights, hotels, event expenses covered. You'll see the country and build a network across major markets.Autonomy and ownership — You'll run your own events. No micromanagement. We'll give you the strategy and budget — you execute.Access to top-tier networks — You'll meet founders, investors, engineers, and operators in every city you visit. The relationships you build here will compound for years.Skill acceleration — You'll learn event marketing, community building, sales enablement, and content creation — all at once. It's a compressed MBA in field marketing.A front-row seat — You'll work directly with the GTM and product teams. You'll see how a company operates and how field marketing drives pipeline. LogisticsLocation — Atlanta, GA (home base, in-person required)Travel — 30–40% (SF, NYC, Nashville, Austin, and other markets)Term — Anticipated to be approximately 1 yearPay — $45,000 annuallyClassification — Full-time, exemptExperience — New grads or no degree. Not current students.Start — Spring, Summer, and Fall 2026 cohorts How to ApplyNo resume. No cover letter. Just show us what you'd do.Step 1 — Get access. Apply here, and if approved, you'll get access to Obvious with no waitlist.Step 2 — Build something impressive. Use Obvious to create a project that shows how you'd approach this role. Plan an event, research a market, draft a workshop curriculum, pitch a city activation strategy — whatever demonstrates your creativity and operational thinking. Show us you can turn ideas into plans.Step 3 — Share your project. Add [email protected] and [email protected] to your project with chat history enabled. We want to see your thought process — how you brainstormed, iterated, and refined your ideas. The conversation matters as much as the output.Step 4 — We'll reach out. If we like what we see, we'll schedule two quick 30-minute interviews. In the first, be prepared to walk us through your project and iterate on it live. We're looking for how you think and communicate. The Bottom LineMost marketing roles keep you behind a laptop. This one puts you in the room where it happens — literally.You'll build relationships that matter, create experiences people remember, and help Obvious show up in cities where the future is being built. You'll travel, learn fast, and develop a skill set that's rare and valuable — becoming one of the most elite AI-first operators in field marketing.If you're energized by people, comfortable with ambiguity, and ready to build something from scratch — this is your shot. Obvious AI, Inc. is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, or any other protected characteristic under federal, state, or local law.The term of this position is anticipated to be approximately 1 year.
