Marketing Operations Manager

About 42Crunch

42Crunch is an API security company trusted by blue-chip enterprises. Our platform helps development and security teams find, fix and protect against API vulnerabilities from design through to runtime.

We have just launched MCP Server Protect, which secures the Model Context Protocol servers that connect AI agents to enterprise systems. It is a new category, and we need a marketer who can help us own the conversation.

We are a close-knit team spread across Europe and the US, working remotely with regular get-togethers.

The role
