Full job description
About Meshy Meshy is building the generative AI layer for 3D. Developers, creators, game studios, and enterprise teams use Meshy to turn ideas into production-ready 3D assets in minutes instead of weeks. We’re a Silicon Valley company with a global team, growing fast, and now at the point where the category we’re creating needs a name, a story, and a voice.
Why This Role Exists Today, Meshy is known as a very good AI 3D tool. That’s not enough. The next phase requires Meshy to be understood as a company with a defined category position, a long-term vision, and real cultural weight in AI and creative software. You’ll be the person who answers these questions and then makes the whole company answer them the same way:
-
What does Meshy stand for in AI, 3D, and creative tools?
-
Why should developers, creators, game companies, and enterprise buyers care about Meshy now?
-
What is the single story that connects our product, our founders, our customers, the press, and our industry partners?
This is a founding brand role. You will write, not just direct.
What You’ll Own
-
Company positioning, brand architecture, core messaging, and the long-term narrative.
-
Translating hard technical capability in AI and 3D into stories that are clear, credible, and memorable.
-
One consistent voice across the website, product launches, funding announcements, founder talks, employer brand, customer stories, and sales collateral.
-
Executive narrative with the founders and leadership team: keynotes, interviews, points of view, and industry agenda-setting.
-
Major product launches and brand campaigns, from creative concept through to shipped content.
-
A reusable messaging framework that Growth, Sales, BD, PR, and Product all actually use.
-
Proof of industry impact through customer, creator, studio, and partner stories.
What We’re Looking For
-
8–15 years in brand strategy, brand marketing, corporate narrative, product marketing, or editorial/content strategy.
-
You have led a repositioning, category creation, or brand rebuild at a technology company—as the owner of it, not a contributor to it.
-
A portfolio we can read: website narrative, brand manifesto, a major launch, a founder keynote, or an integrated campaign.
-
You can tell a technical story to developers, creators, enterprise buyers, press, and investors—and change the register for each.
-
Exceptional English writing and editing. You personally write the things that matter most.
-
Demonstrated cross-functional influence: you’ve gotten founders, Product, Design, Marketing, and Sales to adopt one narrative and stay on it.
-
Comfortable operating as a hands-on individual contributor in an early-stage environment.
Bonus Points
-
Background in generative AI, creative tools, developer tools, gaming, 3D, design software, or high-growth B2B SaaS.
-
You’ve built a brand for a product whose category didn’t fully exist yet, rather than maintaining an established one.
-
You hold both technical credibility and cultural resonance—developers trust you, and the work still has emotional pull.
-
Experience taking a global or China-founded technology company into the U.S. market.
-
Founder brand, thought leadership, or executive communications experience.
This Role Is Probably Not for You If
-
Your work is primarily PR and media relations without positioning work behind it.
-
Your background is in content marketing, SEO, social media, or community management.
-
You’re a visual creative director who owns design systems and art direction.
-
You come from consumer or lifestyle brands and haven’t worked on technical products.
SALARY The base salary range for this position is $120,000 – $250,000 per year. Actual compensation will be determined based on the candidate's qualifications, experience, and skills. This role may also be eligible for additional compensation and a comprehensive benefits package.
