Job Summary

Lead and scale the marketing function for a founder‑led B2B SaaS, owning strategy, budget, outbound and demand gen, brand, and data-driven execution while shaping the team and expanding audiences.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Strategy and leadership. Set the plan, own the numbers, run the team day to day.
  • Pipeline and revenue. Tie marketing to revenue targets, not lead volume. Agree what a qualified lead looks like with sales, and own marketing's share of the number.
  • Brand and positioning. Keep messaging consistent as the team and channels grow.
  • Paid. Get PPC converting as well as organic already does.
  • Outbound, from scratch. No in-house outbound experience exists today. You build the function and the strategy.
  • Demand gen beyond the obvious. Inbound reaches people who already know they have a problem. You build the motion for the ones who don't yet.
  • A second audience. The core audience today is dev and QA teams. There's an untapped persona in martech and marketing ops. You build the strategy to go after it.
  • Budget. Own it, and the reasoning behind where it goes.
  • Data-led decisions. Use the company's data lake properly.
  • Customer marketing. Turn customers into case studies, testimonials and referrals.

Requirements

  • B2B SaaS marketing experience in leadership roles.
  • Proof you've been the first senior marketing hire into a small, founder-led business, and built the function rather than inherited one.
  • A strong eye for content. You don't need to write it, but you need to know good from average on sight.
  • Genuinely numbers-led. You'll be trusted to make calls off data, not gut feel.
  • Comfortable working directly with founders.
  • Real outbound experience. You've built or run it before, not just managed inbound and hoped outbound would follow.

Benefits

  • Private medical insurance.
  • Gym membership.
