Job Summary

Drive and own marketing strategy for a franchisor-franchisee B2B SaaS, leading content, product marketing, and lifecycle programs from awareness to activation.

  • Own end-to-end marketing framework spanning awareness, consideration, trial, and conversion for franchisors and franchisees.
  • Must-have: 5+ years in B2B SaaS marketing with leadership or senior IC experience.
  • Standout: Content-first, SEO-driven approach with executive thought leadership and product marketing scope.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Lead the team and the function
  • Manage and allocate marketing spend in line with company goals
