Marketing depertment today is nascent not established. Youll take what exists and build a full function around it. Strategy execution infrastructure partner programs and the team to run it all. From the first HubSpot workflow to the first partner co-marketing campaign you own the function end-to-end. Youll sit alongside the CRO on the revenue leadership team with a clear mandate: turn marketing into a measurable revenue driver in a company where the product already wins when the right buyers see it.
One more thing: this is an AI-native company. Our core products Mercury (intelligence platform) and Agent Karla (AI-powered analyst) run on AI. We expect marketing to run on it too. If your relationship with AI stops at Ive tried ChatGPT this isnt the right fit.
If youve spent years fine-tuning marketing in an established machine this isnt the right role. If you want to architect one from zero inside a European cybersecurity company with real traction and a regulatory tailwind (NIS2 DORA) keep reading.
1. Demand generation engine
Build the engine for a mid-market-to-enterprise sales motion selling to CISOs and buying committees in regulated industries. Outbound sequences inbound programs account-based campaigns: you decide what runs and what gets cut.
2. Intelligence platform as owned media
Build a multilingual content and intelligence platform that becomes the go-to resource for risk intelligence professionals across Europe. Think Bloomberg TV for cybersecurity: curated threat briefings regulatory analysis original research and video content published through an owned channel that drives top-of-funnel awareness and positions QuoIntelligence as the European category authority. The platform feeds brand demand gen and product adoption simultaneously. Youll define what this looks like build the first version and measure whether it earns the audiences attention.
3. Brand positioning and website
Define how the market sees QuoIntelligence. ICPs buyer personas (CISO as the champion CEO/CFO as the economic buyer) and messaging that positions the company as the European category leader in Unified Risk Intelligence. Lead a full brand and website overhaul with compliance-aware positioning that speaks to regulated buyers.
4. Marketing operations (HubSpot)
Architect marketing operations in HubSpot (Marketing Pro Sales Enterprise). Lifecycle workflows multi-threaded sequences for long sales cycles lead scoring and attribution modeling that give the CRO transparent pipeline contribution data.
5. Partner marketing function
Channel partners today are transactional resellers. Your job: enablement assets co-marketing campaigns and referral tracking that turn them into co-sellers.
6. Field events and field marketing
Plan and run the events that put QuoIntelligence in front of CISOs and security leaders across Europe. Industry conferences (it-sa Cybertech Europe RSA) regional roundtables executive dinners partner-hosted events. You decide where we show up what we say when were there and how every event converts to a market where trust sells and buyers want to meet the analysts behind the product field marketing is a primary demand gen channel not a brand exercise.
7. Multi-regional coordination
Coordinate execution across DACH UK and Central Europe with internal and external SDR teams and agencies. Messaging consistency and pipeline velocity across markets.
8. Team building and scaling
Hire and scale the marketing team as the function matures. Your first hire is already budgeted. Youll define the org structure roles and growth plan from there.
Must-haves:
AI fluency. You actively use AI tools in your marketing work (content analytics automation research) and can evaluate new ones critically. You understand what AI products do well and where they fall short because youve marketed or worked alongside them.
Youve built and scaled B2B demand generation in a company selling to regulated enterprises (cybersecurity fintech defense tech Governance Risk and Compliance or similar): CISOs buying committees and long sales cycles. You know what it takes to turn marketing from a cost center into a pipeline contributor.
Marketing automation depth: you can architect lifecycle workflows lead scoring and attribution from scratch not just operate someone elses setup. We run HubSpot (Marketing Pro Sales Enterprise).
Product marketing instinct. Youve taken a complex technical product and framed it as a business and compliance solution for buyers who arent engineers. Agent Karla and Mercury are AI-driven intelligence products; marketing them credibly requires genuine technical fluency. You should be able to explain what makes our AI architecture different in a conversation with a CISO. Threat Intelligence Governance Risk Compliance or adjacent domains.
Multi-regional execution across European markets. Youve coordinated agencies SDR teams and campaigns across borders without losing messaging coherence.
Nice-to-haves:
Direct cybersecurity marketing experience. Not required if youve marketed to regulated buyers in adjacent sectors but it accelerates ramp-up.
Partner marketing background: youve built co-marketing programs and enabled channel partners to sell not just resell.
AI is an operating principle here. Every workflow you build should reflect that.
AI as an operating system. Youll use AI tools to generate content analyze pipeline data build campaigns and scale what a lean team can produce. We expect you to evaluate adopt and integrate AI into marketing workflows as a core competency not a side experiment.
Evaluate Integrate Repeat. You dont wait for someone to hand you a tool. You test new AI capabilities against your actual marketing problems adopt what delivers and kill what doesnt. You have opinions about which tools work and why grounded in your own usage.
Define Success First. Attribution pipeline contribution and CAC are how we decide what keeps running and what gets cut. Every program has success criteria before it launches. AI helps you measure deeper and faster but the discipline of defining success comes first.
Responsible AI. We sell to regulated industries. Our AI claims are accurate our compliance positioning is defensible and our content doesnt promise what the product cant a market full of AI hype our credibility is a competitive advantage. You protect it.

Is this a player-coach role Yes for the first 6-12 months. Youll execute hands-on (HubSpot workflows campaign launches LinkedIn Ads) while building the strategy. After that you shift toward leadership strategy and cross-functional coordination.
What marketing budget is available Youll have a budget for tools agencies LinkedIn Ads and events. The exact number is set during planning with the CRO. Expect to justify spending with pipeline data not slide decks. We operate with a lean-strength mindset: enterprise-grade results on a focused budget.
How does marketing work with sales today The CRO leads the revenue org (sales SDR RevOps). Marketing today is still in its early stages. Youll define the operating model: pipeline review cadences lead handoff protocols and messaging alignment. The SDR teams (internal and external across DACH UK and Central Europe) are already in place.
Do I need cybersecurity experience It helps but its not required. What matters is experience marketing complex technical products to regulated buyers. If youve sold compliance-driven solutions in fintech defense tech or Governance Risk and Compliance youll translate quickly.
