Currently, activities are operational and tactical (marketing, events, publications) and we need to further develop the measurement of ROI. The focus needs to shift to measurable brand visibility, thought leadership positioning, and revenue generation. You will have the mission and mandate to develop and accelerate this growth and development. The aim is to reposition the Marketing department as a data-driven and insight-driven growth engine. In parallel to this, Marketing becomes a strategic advisor and business partner to the organisation.

You will be part of a team that consists of four professionals: a Marketing Manager with three direct reports and a Digital Marketing Manager will be joining the team soon.

  • You will be responsible for delivering high quality and consistency across all products and services, including our publications, website, social networks, campaigns and event collaterals. You will be the last eye on your team's work before publication.
  • You will lead various complex and challenging projects such as Growth Strategy, Campaign strategy & execution and you will be driving growth in the SaaS product segment.

  • Bachelor or master degree in marketing or related field.
  • 8-10 years of proven working experience in Marketing with leadership experience, preferably in B2B or Professional Services industry.

We will offer you:

  • A good balance between work and free time in combination with a healthy work from home ethics and wellness policy.
  • A brand new office located next to the Central Station Utrecht and easily accessible by public transport.
  • A unique opportunity to be in a strategic function, leading a Marketing team and to stamp your mark on the business.
