About the Role

We are looking for a versatile and hands-on Marketing Manager to help drive growth, elevate our product positioning, and execute high-impact marketing initiatives. This role blends digital marketing, content creation, product marketing, webinar/event coordination, and data-driven strategy within a B2B SaaS environment.

You will partner closely with Product, Sales, and Leadership to shape messaging, generate pipeline, and ensure our story is clearly communicated to product managers, portfolio managers, and strategic decision-makers—the audience central to the Gocious platform.

This is an ideal role for a marketer who thrives in a startup environment, enjoys wearing multiple hats, and wants to help build a scalable marketing function from the ground up.

• Develop content supporting each stage of the customer journey.

Website Ownership

• Manage updates to the company website (WordPress/Webflow/HubSpot CMS).
• Create new pages, optimize UX, run CRO experiments, and ensure messaging accuracy.
• Work with external developers or agencies as needed but remain comfortable making hands-on updates.

• Plan and execute webinars end-to-end: topic creation, speaker coordination, promotion, hosting, and follow-up.
• Identify and evaluate industry events, conferences, and trade shows that align with our buyer personas.
• Manage logistics, booth assets, vendor coordination, and event lead capture.
• Report on performance, ROI, and recommendations for future participation.

• Use GA4, HubSpot, Looker Studio, or similar tools to evaluate and report on marketing performance.
• Provide actionable insights to improve campaigns and inform leadership decisions.

Qualifications

• 4–7 years of marketing experience, primarily in B2B SaaS.
