About Maneva 

Maneva is an AI company purpose-built for manufacturing, founded by a former Google DeepMind researcher. We work directly with factory operators and industrial enterprises to transform how their operations run, using advanced AI to enable autonomous decision-making on the shop floor. 

Manufacturing is one of the largest and most underserved sectors when it comes to AI adoption. Our solutions tackle real operational challenges: product and equipment inspection, production efficiency, worker safety, and overall plant performance. We deploy using existing hardware or vision systems, which means manufacturers see impact fast without ripping out infrastructure.

You will report directly to the CEO with a dotted line to the SVP of Enterprise Sales. You’ll lead and grow a marketing team while working closely with a Fractional CMO who owns demand. Your focus is building the systems, brand infrastrcuture, and content engine that makes everything else work.
