Field & Event Marketing Manager, APAC (Singapore)

Deepgram is the leading platform underpinning the emerging trillion-dollar Voice AI economy, providing real-time APIs for speech-to-text (STT), text-to-speech (TTS), and building production-grade voice agents at scale. More than 200,000 developers and 1,300+ organizations build voice offerings that are ‘Powered by Deepgram’, including Twilio, Cloudflare, Sierra, Decagon, Vapi, Daily, Cresta, Granola, and Jack in the Box. Deepgram’s voice-native foundation models are accessed through cloud APIs or as self-hosted and on-premises software, with unmatched accuracy, low latency, and cost efficiency. Backed by a recent Series C led by leading global investors and strategic partners, Deepgram has processed over 50,000 years of audio and transcribed more than 1 trillion words. There is no organization in the world that understands voice better than Deepgram.

At Deepgram, we expect an AI-first mindset—AI use and comfort aren’t optional, they’re core to how we operate, innovate, and measure performance.

Every team member who works at Deepgram is expected to actively use and experiment with advanced AI tools, and even build your own into your everyday work. We measure how effectively AI is applied to deliver results, and consistent, creative use of the latest AI capabilities is key to success here. Candidates should be comfortable adopting new models and modes quickly, integrating AI into their workflows, and continuously pushing the boundaries of what these technologies can do.

Additionally, we move at the pace of AI. Change is rapid, and you can expect your day-to-day work to evolve just as quickly. This may not be the right role if you’re not excited to experiment, adapt, think on your feet, and learn constantly, or if you’re seeking something highly prescriptive with a traditional 9-to-5.

Team Overview

Deepgram recently opened its APAC headquarters in Singapore, and the region is one of our fastest-moving markets. You’ll build the APAC marketing function from zero, partnering closely with the APAC GM and regional sales leadership to shape and execute the regional plan. As part of the global Events & Field Marketing team, you’ll get the playbooks, brand assets, budget framework and coaching to help you move fast.

Your job is to make Deepgram visible and credible across the region through technical community and partner motions, and to turn that presence into pipeline. As the senior marketer in region, you're also marketing's local point of contact: you'll work with our APAC PR agency and partner with global Brand, Web, and Product Marketing to keep regional messaging local and consistent.

• Put a live APAC customer proof library (stories, case studies, references) into active use by sales aligned to global Marketing Team.

• Partners with sales to tie every program in the quarterly plan to pipeline

• Adapts global playbooks to local markets across language, culture, format, and buyer expectations, and knows the APAC vendor landscape

• Operates AI-native: designs Human+AI workflows for planning, logistics, follow-up, and reporting, and builds systems that eliminate recurring event work instead of redoing it each time

• Works self-directed as the first in region, across time zones with a US-based team; travels across the region regularly (roughly 30-40%)

• Do the Right Thing: act with integrity and candor, assume best intent, choose ethics over expediency.

• Think Smart. Act Fast.: weigh the high-leverage options, decide, and move; no analysis paralysis.
