• Gather and leverage market insights, customer feedback, and usage data to refine campaigns and provide employees and partners with training and frameworks.

Team management

• Mentor and grow a high‑performing marketing team.
• Manage sales and marketing budgets, forecast ROI and optimise spend.
• Integrate and oversee marketing tools and automation.
• Report key metrics and present business impact to executive leadership.
• Foster cross‑functional collaboration with sales, product‑ and partner management, and customer success.

Qualifications

• 8+ years in B2B SaaS marketing (with 3+ years in leadership) with deep experience in go‑to‑market strategy, growth marketing, demand generation, product marketing, and/or partner marketing.
• Track record of driving measurable revenue growth from marketing campaigns.
• Obsessed with metrics that matter, but know when to trust intuition and storytelling.
• Prioritise ruthlessly and move fast but not at the expense of your teammates.
• Guide your team with trust and empathy and create an environment where everyone feels heard, respected and enabled to do their best work.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity, scaling processes across growth stages.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

Additional Information

• A purpose‑driven company driving Europe’s transition toward electric mobility.
• Passionate colleagues with a hands‑on mentality.
• A safe and future‑oriented workplace as part of the KOSTAL group.
• Flexible working hours and location.
