You will be shaping the growth stories of ambitious SaaS companies, consulting senior stakeholders and building your marketing expertise across a portfolio of clients.
You'll own the strategy:
Diagnose each client's growth blockers and build a comprehensive marketing strategy to solve them
Run market research and competitor analysis to find the angles others miss
Define ideal customer profiles, targeting, and audience segmentation
Set the content pillars that anchor each client's voice and authority

You’ll report to the Director of Marketing, who will support you in driving client success, while working closely with the Director of Strategy to develop and deliver high-impact growth strategies.
What you’ll bring:

At least 5 years of experience in B2B marketing
Experience managing senior stakeholders' roles. You’ll build trust with clients and guide their decisions, not just take their briefs
