The environment is highly autonomous, data-driven, collaborative, and focused on practical execution, innovation, and AI-enabled ways of working.

Accountabilities:

• Develop and strengthen market positioning and value propositions for target audiences, supporting the launch of new products and services while working closely with commercial and cross-functional teams throughout the customer journey.
• Design, manage, and continuously optimize lead-generation funnels and paid campaigns across channels such as Google Ads, Meta, and LinkedIn, using clearly defined KPIs to guide performance.
• Develop and maintain a robust tracking and attribution framework covering lead sources, channel variations, conversion points, forms, AI-powered chatbots, landing pages, scheduling tools, newsletters, social platforms, and offline interactions.
• Build clear and actionable reporting that enables leadership and marketing teams to understand campaign effectiveness, identify opportunities, and make informed decisions based on performance data.
• Plan and execute integrated campaigns across SEA, social media, newsletters, LinkedIn, events, and other relevant channels aligned with the broader marketing and service portfolio.
• Develop engaging, audience-focused content and storytelling for websites, social media, newsletters, campaigns, and other digital touchpoints, ensuring consistency with strategic marketing priorities.
• Develop automated customer journeys and manage email marketing activities using platforms such as Brevo and Close CRM.
• Identify emerging channels, tools, technologies, and AI-driven trends, evaluating their potential and translating relevant opportunities into practical marketing initiatives.
• Plan, deliver, and evaluate professional events, presentations, and webinar series, using metrics such as cost per lead and conversion rate to determine which formats should be maintained, improved, or discontinued.
• Serve as a subject-matter lead and sparring partner for the Digital Marketing team by providing strategic input, challenging approaches constructively, supporting complex customer-related questions, and fostering professional development through feedback, reviews, workshops, and internal training.

Requirements:

• Hold a completed degree in marketing, communications, business, economics, or a comparable qualification.
• Bring at least 6 years of professional experience in B2B marketing, ideally with mid-market clients and within an agency, SaaS, digital, or similarly fast-moving environment.

• Demonstrate solid expertise in performance marketing, marketing automation, and web analytics, combined with practical experience in content development and campaign planning.
• Bring experience in the professional leadership, coaching, or mentoring of marketing colleagues, for example as a Team Lead, Senior Marketing professional, or mentor.
• Be confident working with common marketing, tracking, analytics, and CRM platforms such as Google Ads, Meta Business Suite, Google Analytics, Brevo, Close CRM, and Canva.
• Have strong numerical and analytical skills, with the ability to independently interpret KPIs, identify performance levers, and translate insights into concrete actions.
• Demonstrate a highly execution-oriented mindset, with a focus on delivering effective campaigns and measurable outcomes rather than relying solely on strategic planning.

• 30 days of annual vacation, plus Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve off, with additional vacation days available as tenure increases.
• Jobticket or JobRad options to support commuting and sustainable mobility.
• Regular team and company events, including quarterly Allhands meetings, summer celebrations, and holiday events.
