Job description

Marketing & Sales Manager (HR Tech)

Stop just generating leads. Start closing them and shaping the product.

If you are a marketing professional who feels limited by only handling the "awareness" part of the business, this is your next step. We are recruiting for a specialised HR Technology firm that wants you to own the entire growth engine.

This senior leadership role invites you to step out of the marketing silo. You will handle the campaigns, close the deals, and use your market insights to tell the developers what features to build next. It is a rare opportunity to combine creativity, commercial drive, and product strategy in a single position.

Why This Role is a Career Accelerator

• Own the Full Lifecycle: You won't just hand leads over to a sales team and hope for the best. You will nurture them, demo the product, and close the sale yourself.
• Become a Product Strategist: You will be the voice of the market. The feedback you get from customers will go directly into the product roadmap, meaning you help design the software you sell.
• Niche Authority: You will become a recognised expert in Organisational Development (OD), the science of making workplaces better.

What You Will Be Doing

1. Driving Awareness (Marketing)

• Run targeted campaigns on Google and LinkedIn to reach decision-makers.
• Write articles and content that explain complex psychological concepts in simple business language.
• Analyse trends to see where the market is going before competitors do.

2. Driving Revenue (Sales)

• Move from marketing to sales execution. You will present product demos to potential clients.
• Manage the commercial process, from sending quotes to signing contracts.
• Support partners who resell the software, ensuring they have what they need to succeed.

3. Driving Innovation (Product)

• Spot gaps in the market. If clients keep asking for a specific feature, you will work with the technical team to spec it out.
• Translate user needs into practical design improvements.

What You Need to Bring

• The Industry Context: You must understand the HR or Organisational Development market. You need to know what problems HR Directors are trying to solve.
• The Dual Skillset: You need proven experience in Marketing (running campaigns) AND the confidence to sell (handling demos and closing deals).
• The Education: A Bachelors degree in Marketing, Business, or Communications.
• The Personality: You are curious and adaptable. You enjoy digging into data to find answers, but you are also comfortable presenting to people.
