• Provide line management and leadership to our marketing executive.
• You’ll also collaborate with two additional part‑time marketing contributors, the design team, and the broader team (e.g. content, product) to deliver high‑quality output.
• Get hands‑on when needed: this is a small team and we value “all hands on deck,” whether in planning, execution, or post‑campaign analysis.

• Demonstrable experience across a broad marketing toolkit, content marketing, events/conferences, social media, paid media, webinars, email marketing, and more.
• Strong commercial mindset: you’re comfortable tracking metrics and ROI and using data to justify or adjust your marketing strategy.
• Leadership experience, able to manage, mentor and coordinate a small marketing team and work collaboratively across departments.
• Flexibility, agility and a “roll‑up‑your‑sleeves” attitude: comfortable working in a dynamic startup environment where priorities may shift, and willing to be hands‑on when needed.
• Excellent communication skills, and an ability to translate technical/academic value propositions into compelling marketing messages.
