Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've led B2B SaaS or enterprise software marketing; comfortable translating complex technical value props for C-suite buyers
  • You're data-obsessed: you build dashboards, test assumptions, optimize funnels. Gut-feel marketing isn't your style.
  • You thrive in ambiguity and have scrappiness to build programs from scratch without massive budgets
  • You're energized by the energy transition and AI/cleantech space; you can speak credibly about grid modernization and utilities
  • You excel at cross-functional collaboration; you see yourself as a growth leader, not just a marketer
Won't Work If
  • You need remote work; this role is on-site in Paris only
  • You're looking for a pure content or brand role; this is a P&L-accountable, revenue-focused director position
  • You lack B2B SaaS or enterprise marketing experience; early-stage B2B2C or consumer marketing won't translate well
