Field Marketing Manager
Black Forest Labs · Freiburg · $160,000–$200,000 (stated in the posting)
This role can be office-based in Freiburg, Germany/ San Francisco, USA or remote-first, with a requirement to be in the office one full week per month.
About Black Forest Labs
We’re the team building the foundational layer for visual intelligence: multimodal models trained jointly on images, video, audio, and action to see, generate, and understand the world.
Our founding team pioneered latent diffusion and Stable Diffusion, the breakthroughs that made generative AI accessible to millions. With FLUX, we're pushing into generative media at scale, machines that act in the physical world, and emerging applications in computer use.
Our FLUX models top public benchmarks and run in production in some of the world's biggest platforms. We're a small, fast growing research lab competing with the largest companies in the world. From our labs in Freiburg to San Francisco, we're building what comes next.
Why This Role
FLUX gets attention the moment people see it. Your job is to turn that attention into pipeline.
You'll own two motions where FLUX meets enterprises and partners in person: the events where customers experience the models firsthand, and the co-marketing engine with cloud and distribution partners who bring FLUX to the market. You’ll work directly with GTM, Partnerships, and our creative technologists. Our release cadence means there’s always a new reason to show up. Your job is to make sure we show up well and that every appearance has a number attached to it in order to effectively measure impact.
What you’ll work on
Events
Shape BFL's event calendar end-to-end: tier the opportunities, decide where we show up, and run the full events lifecycle: booths, demos, speaker slots, exec briefings, side events, follow up and more
Design event experiences that demonstrate the models, not just talk about them; working with Creative Technologists and FDEs on interactive demos and installations
Build the pre/post event machine: target lists for Sales, meeting orchestration on-site, pipeline attribution afterward. Every event has a number attached to measure impact (MQL’s)
Run BFL-hosted formats: customer dinners, launch events, and executive roundtables in key markets, plus side events at major moments (GTC, research oriented, etc.)
Co-marketing with partners
Own the co-marketing motion with our distribution and cloud partners; joint announcements, launch-day amplification, case studies, shared event presence
Coordinate partner marketing calendars around BFL launches so every major release lands with multiplied reach
Build repeatable co-marketing playbooks per partner tier, and negotiate marketing commitments into partnership conversations alongside the Partnerships team
GTM Enablement
Pitch decks
Solution marketing
Connecting the motions
Co-own the activation calendar with our social marketing team so events, partner moments, and social land together
Feed what you learn on the floor (what lands, the questions enterprises actually ask back into GTM and product marketing)
What We're Looking For
3–6 years in field/event marketing, partner marketing, or integrated campaigns at a B2B tech company
You've run events end-to-end (from a 10-person exec dinner to a major conference presence) and can show the pipeline they produced
You've done co-marketing with large partners
You understand enterprise marketing: how buying committees work, what an exec briefing needs to accomplish, why attribution matters
80%+ execution. You can build the run-of-show, brief the booth staff, etc.
Strong visual taste: our outputs are judged visually, and so are our activations
Comfortable with ambiguity, tight timelines, and launch weeks where everything happens at once
While not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:
Experience marketing generative AI, creative tooling, or developer-facing infrastructure
Existing relationships in the creative AI community
Experience working with cloud or platform partners on joint GTM
You've built an event or campaign that people in the industry still reference
Time spent working in the US, or in a role with significant US market ownership
How We Work Together
We’re a distributed team with real offices that people actually use. Depending on your location, you’ll either join us in Freiburg or SF at least 2 days a week (or one full week every other week), or work remotely with a monthly in-person week to stay connected. We’ll cover reasonable travel costs to make this possible. We think in-person time matters, and we’ve structured things to make it accessible to all. We’ll discuss what this will look like for the role during our interview process.
Everything we do is grounded in four values:
Obsessed. We are a frontier research lab. The science has to be right, the understanding deep, the product beautiful.
Low Ego. The work speaks. The best idea wins, no matter who said it. Credit is shared. Nobody is above any task.
Bold. We take the ambitious bet. We ship, we do not wait for conditions to be perfect.
Kind. People over politics. We treat each other with genuine warmth. Agency without empathy creates chaos.
If this sounds like work you’d enjoy, we’d love to hear from you.
Base Annual Salary:
US $160,000- $200,000 + equity
EU €105,000- €130,000 + equity
Note: We may use AI-assisted tools to help organize applications. All hiring decisions are always made by our team.
