Sr. Marketing Manager

Axy is transforming how science advances by reimagining collaboration tools for researchers. We're building AI-powered platforms that help scientists discover, connect, and collaborate more effectively - from conferences to everyday research activities.

Made by scientists, for scientists

We're at an exciting inflection point: our products are live, early traction is strong, and we're ready to scale. Now we need a marketing leader to help us reach millions of researchers worldwide.
