Head of Marketing

Requirements

• You are a good writer and a good briefer. The campaigns we run are research-led and content-heavy. You do not need to produce everything yourself but you need strong enough judgement to know what good looks like and to get it out of the people around you.
• Experience in developer tooling, DevOps, cybersecurity, or any SaaS product sold to engineering leadership is a genuine advantage. You will understand the buyer faster and the learning curve will be shorter.
• What We Are Not Looking For
• Someone who has spent their career in high-velocity SMB or product-led growth environments will find this role a difficult adjustment. Our sales cycles run five to eight months and our buyers are CTOs and CFOs. The motion is deliberate, account-based, and relationship-driven.
• We are also not looking for someone who leads with brand. Brand matters but it is not the job. The job is pipeline.
• What Success Looks Like
• After twelve months you will have delivered the marketing-sourced pipeline target, improved MQL to meeting conversion meaningfully, executed four major campaigns with measurable pipeline contribution, and built a marketing motion that the sales team trusts and relies on.
• Compensation: £80k - £100K
• Environment:
• London HQ, 3 days in office, 2 remote
• 32 days holiday including bank holidays
• 12 weeks paid maternity and paternity leave
• 4 weeks per year flexible remote working from anywhere
• Annual Leave purchase (up to 10 extra days)
• Work from Home Equipment allowance
• Pet friendly office
• Sponsored Learning Opportunities
• Cycle2work scheme
• Team Socials
• Stay connected with us on LinkedIn or keep an eye on our career page for future opportunities!
