Head of Marketing, Spyne Make Spyne the AI brand dealers find, try and adopt on their own.
Spyne is building the AI operating system for automotive retail. We started with visual merchandising, expanded into conversational AI, and are now putting AI agents across the dealership so dealers move inventory faster, respond to buyers instantly and run more of their operation with AI. Founded by operators from Amazon, Cox and OYO, Spyne has grown 30x in under 3 years and powers 1,500+ dealerships across the US. What we're building:
Studio AI (Visual Agents): turns a smartphone capture into a complete, publish-ready listing, so cars reach the website faster.
Vini AI (Conversational Agents): answers every call, chat and text across sales and service, and writes outcomes back into the dealer's DMS and CRM. We're building a family of agents for recall, receptionist, reputation, acquisition, sales and service, built for dealers to try and turn on themselves.
AI Contact Service: It sits above the dealer's existing software (DMS, CRM, inventory, website, service) and runs agents across the vehicle journey, from sourcing to sale to service.
You'll build the growth engine for roughly 70,000 US rooftops, then every market where dealers sell cars. Make activation quick and real: an agent answering live calls, leads or reviews for the rooftop within days.
- Run both motions: self-serve for independents, product-qualified leads handed to sales for franchised stores and dealer groups.
- Build onboarding and lifecycle (email, SMS, in-product) that converts operators who will never read a manual.
- Take it global: a repeatable country launch playbook and a regional marketing owner for each new market.
Make Spyne the name every dealer knows (Brand, community and events)
Every GM,
fixed-ops director and BDC manager hears about Spyne from someone they trust before we call.
- Own the category story: 'the AI that turns inventory faster', sold as cost and days removed per rooftop.
- Build industry credibility: an industry marketing lead, trade press and analyst relationships, OEM and association partnerships.
- Build the dealer community: in-person meetups in target metros and an online community where operators share what works.
- Run creators like a performance channel: always-on dealer-world voices on LinkedIn, YouTube and podcasts, measured on signups.
- NADA, NIADA, Digital Dealer, Driving Sales, state associations and executive dinners, with a pipeline target per dollar.
- Make customers the story: case studies, our dealer podcast and a validated days-to-sale study timed for NADA 2027.
Own the answer, in search and in AI (Demand generation, SEO and AEO)
When a dealer asks Google, ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity what to buy, Spyne is the answer.
- Build programmatic SEO across every agent, role, DMS, CRM and OEM.
- Run the website as a product: messaging tests and conversion experiments, with signups as the score.
- Feed demand with content: webinars, guides and case studies that rank, convert and arm sales.
Build marketing that runs on agents (AI-led growth engine)
A lean team that ships like a team 5 times its size.
- Score every rooftop: all 70,000 US stores ranked on live signals such as review velocity,
missed calls, inventory age, DMS and OEM.
- Trigger outreach on signals: agents draft and route, SDRs take the conversations that matter.
- AI-driven enrichment, routing and follow-up on clean CRM data.
- Scale content with AI: creative and localization at volume, with a human editor on every dealer-facing piece.
- Vini answers our inbound calls, chat and follow-up.
- Ship 10+ growth experiments a month and keep an open log of what won, what lost and why.
Run marketing like a P&L; (Budget, measurement and team)
Own every dollar marketing spends and every number it moves.
- Build attribution from first touch to paid rooftop, so marketing and sales run on the same numbers.
- Hire and lead the team: growth, SEO and AEO, content, community, events, industry marketing, ops and regional leads.
- Marketing-sourced pipeline
- Branded search and AI-answer share
- Spend 2 weeks with dealers: ride along with the field team, sit in a service drive and a BDC.
- Ship the first 100 SEO and integration pages and start tracking AI answers.
- A builder who has already taken a self-serve, community or creator engine to scale, and still runs channels yourself.
- 10+ years in B2B marketing or growth, 4+ leading a team, including time as an early hire who scaled the function.
- You've built a community, creator or partner channel into a top-3 source of pipeline.
- SEO is a primary channel for you, and you already run AEO.
- You build with AI agents and automation yourself, write well and pull your own data.
You've marketed to operators of local businesses.
- You have dealer software experience (Cox Automotive, CDK, Reynolds, Tekion, Impel, Podium, CarGurus).
- Your brand work can't point to a number.
