What You'll Be Doing

Strategic Marketing Leadership:

• Define, develop, and execute a data-driven marketing strategy aligned with the company's overall commercial objectives and growth targets.
• Performance Measurement & Optimisation: Define key marketing metrics, track performance against goals, and use data insights to continuously optimise campaigns and strategies for maximum ROI and commercial impact.

• Business Development and sales funnel building: build the processes appropriate to support our maturing technologies coming to market.

Branding and Communications:

• Public Relations and Analyst Relations: Manage external PR agencies and cultivate relationships with key media and industry analysts to secure impactful coverage and shape market perception, ensuring a healthy growth in new markets and territories.

Marketing Operations & Technology:

• Select, implement, and manage the marketing technology stack, including the CRM (Hubspot), to ensure scalability, efficiency, and effective tracking of marketing performance and customer engagement.
