Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've built multi-channel demand gen funnels and can tie marketing spend to pipeline/revenue impact
  • You thrive turning events into data assets and revenue drivers—not just logistical exercises
  • You're comfortable being a strategic operator: define KPIs, build dashboards, manage budgets, AND get hands-on with tools/campaigns
  • You want to join an ExCo table and shape a 10-year-old company's next growth phase
Won't Work If
  • You need a pre-built team and established marketing infrastructure; this is build-from-scratch
  • You're brand-only and uncomfortable with performance marketing, analytics, and revenue accountability
  • You prefer remote or flexible; this is on-site in Paris with active London team engagement
