Job Description


Fast-Growth Tech Start-Up | 4-Day Week Considered**


Are you a driven, hands-on Marketing Manager ready to make your mark in a fast-growing tech start-up? This is a rare opportunity to become the first dedicated marketing hire and build the entire marketing function from the ground up.


We’re recruiting on behalf of a scaling technology company entering an exciting phase of growth. With a current team of seven and ambitious plans for 2026, they are looking for a strategic yet scrappy marketer who can take ownership, create momentum, and elevate their brand to the next level.


The Opportunity

As the company’s first marketing hire, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping how the business shows up in the market. You’ll work closely with the leadership team and external marketing/PR partners to craft the strategy, execute campaigns, and build a strong lead-generation engine.

This is ideal for someone who thrives in startup environments, loves autonomy, and isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves to get things moving.


What You’ll Do

  • Build and execute the overall marketing strategy for 2026 and beyond
  • Develop brand awareness and position the company as a standout market leader
  • Drive targeted lead-generation campaigns across digital channels
  • Manage relationships with external marketing, PR, and creative agencies
  • Oversee content creation, campaign management, and performance tracking
  • Lay the foundations for marketing operations that can scale globally
  • Contribute ideas, challenge thinking, and take full ownership of marketing delivery
  • As the business grows, build and lead a global marketing team (USA & EMEA focus)


What We’re Looking For

  • A self-starter with strong experience in B2B marketing (tech or SaaS ideal, but not essential)
  • Someone who thrives in a startup or scale-up environment
  • Strong digital marketing and lead-generation expertise
  • Confident working with external agencies and managing multiple workstreams
  • Ability to balance strategy with hands-on execution
  • A natural hustler — proactive, creative, and able to move fast
  • Exceptional communication and storytelling skills
  • Ambition to grow with the company and take on global responsibility


Role Details

  • Position: Marketing Manager (first marketing hire)
  • Location: Fully remote (UK-based)
  • Hours: Full-time; 4-day week considered for the right candidate
  • Industry: Technology / AI (Startup environment)
  • Progression: Opportunity to build and lead a global team as the company expands
