You'll report to our CCO, who will back you, coach you and expect you to challenge them and the wider Exec, with the judgement to know when to push and when to commit.

We also work together in our London hub three days a week.

What you'll do

• Own Gridcog's global marketing strategy, plan, budget and performance, with a focus on generating qualified top-of-funnel leads for sales
• Make our brand distinctive and consistent. We've been liberal with our brand guidelines to date and want to tighten them up
• Own positioning and messaging: articulating how we're different and better than the alternatives, how we launch new product capabilities and how we take our product into new markets
• Take the brand we've built in the UK and Australia into Europe, working with our commercial teams in Berlin and Madrid
• Turn our website into an impactful marketing and lead generation asset
• Support your team to make our content, events, thought leadership and growth engine (paid, SEO and conversion) sharper and more commercial, using our data, modelling and customer logos to make the case
• Help the thought leaders inside Gridcog get heard
• Work closely with sales to align campaigns, events and content with target accounts and revenue priorities

Requirements

To be successful in this role you'll have:

• Solid B2B marketing experience, ideally in early-stage SaaS, including time as a senior manager or number 2 where you owned major parts of the function, or standout results in an agency environment
• Demonstrated success building lead generation that sales teams actually value
• A commercial mindset: you know your numbers inside out, and you use them to decide what to double down on and what to drop
• Multi-channel experience and an appetite for trialling new things. You take smart risks: when something doesn't land, you learn from it and adapt
• Excellent creative judgement and the ability to turn complex technical ideas into bold, credible marketing. We'd love to see examples!
• Some experience managing people, and a real interest in developing a team
• An AI-native way of working: you use AI tools every day to do more with less, and you know when to override them

Bonus points if you have:

• Experience in energy or another complex technical market
• Experience counter-positioning a challenger brand against larger or better-funded competitors
• Experience owning a martech stack (CRM, analytics, data)
• Fluency in a second European language

Benefits

• Competitive remuneration package aligned with experience and skills, plus equity: everyone at Gridcog gets a stake in the company
• Opportunity to work as part of our social London, Berlin or Madrid based teams with flexible working arrangements
• Be part of a high-performing team that values innovation and creative problem-solving
• Contribute to the decarbonisation of the world's energy system
• Support for ongoing professional and personal development
• An annual all company retreat; our previous retreats were in Bali and Bintan Island

Diversity and Inclusion

We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team at Gridcog and welcome applicants from all backgrounds. If you're excited about this role but your experience doesn't line up perfectly with every requirement, especially if this would be your first time leading a function, apply anyway. You might be exactly who we're looking for!
