Sortlist is a European B2B marketplace that connects companies with the best service providers (marketing, development, design, etc.). Active in 6+ countries, profitable and generating €8.5M+ in recurring revenue, we’re entering a pivotal phase: scaling from €10M to €20M+ while transforming our marketing into a world-class engine for growth, brand and product adoption.
We are hiring a hands-on Head of Marketing, a seasoned, well-rounded leader who can drive international performance, scale a high-performing team, elevate our brand and support our product-led evolution.
Your mission
You will take over the marketing leadership directly from the founder, owning both strategic direction and operational execution.
You’ll lead a 10-person team across SEO, SEA, content, brand and agency marketing, with a €2M+ yearly budget.
Your role at a glance: to turn marketing into a scalable, data-driven, product-aware growth engine, aligned across markets, channels and teams.
What we really need
Sortlist has grown through performance marketing and SEO.
The next step is to reduce our dependence on paid and organic search alone while keeping our search edge sharp. We also want to leverage AI and automation to uncover new growth opportunities and scale smarter.
This role goes beyond acquisition. We’re looking for a complete marketing leader who can:
- master search and capture intent when it matters
- use AI-powered insights to open new, lower-cost demand channels and personalise customer journeys
- elevate brand trust and recognition in the B2B services space
- work hand-in-hand with Product and Sales to accelerate self-service adoption and retention
What you’ll do
- Own and deploy the global marketing strategy, aligned with company growth objectives
- Drive growth across 6 core markets (FR, DE, NL, ES, BE, EN/global site) and expand to new markets through localized, performance-focused campaigns
- Oversee SEO at scale, SEA investments, retargeting, product marketing and content distribution with a clear ROI focus
- Build a consistent and high-impact brand across all channels and touchpoints: tone of voice, positioning, and visual identity
- Work with Product & Sales to sharpen our messaging and articulate the value of our three key revenue engines: Visibility, Monthly+, and Opportunities
- Support our product-led growth strategy by aligning with Product to drive awareness, adoption, and retention of self-service modules and features
- Mentor and scale the marketing team with ownership, rigor, and ambition
- Personally design and ship at least one high-impact experiment or campaign each quarter – from brief to launch to post-mortem – to set the pace for the team.
- Build a culture of data, experimentation, and performance across the team: reporting, testing, attribution and insights;
️Your Profile
- 8+ years of experience in B2B marketing, including 3–5 years in a leadership role at a SaaS company or marketplace

- You’re fluent in performance channels (SEO, SEA, ABM, LinkedIn Ads, retargeting, content marketing…)
- Pronounced appetite for AI: you actively experiment with AI and automation (e.g. generative content, predictive targeting, media-mix optimisation) and turn data-driven insights into new growth levers
- You’re strategic but execution-oriented. You know when to dive deep and when to simplify
- You’re a recognized team leader who thrives on empowering others and delivering results through people
- You speak English fluently (working language). French, Spanish or Dutch are a plus.
