About the Company
We operate a self-funded, profitable B2B SaaS venture based out of Kempten in the picturesque Allgäu region. Our software was born out of direct operational necessity: operating as a digital marketing agency, we could not find an existing market solution that met our workflow requirements, so we engineered it ourselves. Today, roughly 700 agencies across German-speaking territories rely on our platform daily. We scale our product pragmatically, focusing purely on user value without unnecessary code bloat. Our team remains lean, featuring direct communication, streamlined decision-making, and high personal ownership. Joining us means actively shaping our roadmap, taking true accountability, and driving momentum in a collaborative, entrepreneurial environment. The Role & Mission Stepping in as our inaugural dedicated Marketer, you will act as a strategic generalist to construct our marketing infrastructure from the ground up. Collaborating directly with the founders, a product designer, and our content marketing lead, you will take absolute ownership of our go-to-market strategy, conversion funnels, and brand positioning. You are an execution-driven doer who will systematically test hypotheses, scale paid acquisition channels, turn HubSpot into our primary growth engine, and accelerate our next expansion phase.
