Brand and Community Manager

We're looking for a firestarter to join our marketing team. You'll lead our events programme end to end, own how the Cytix brand shows up across every channel (digital, events, customers and partners), and build a community of people who champion Cytix because they've experienced it first-hand.

We've just rebuilt the Cytix brand from the ground up, with new positioning, a new voice, and a new visual identity. Your job is to take it out into the world and make sure that wherever someone meets Cytix, whether at an expo stand, in a partner deck, or on our social channels, it looks and sounds unmistakably like us. This is a doing role at a small company: real ownership from week one, real targets to hit, and direct access to the leadership team.

• Research, book and organise all GTM events for the commercial team, from large expos to smaller sponsorship opportunities and Cytix-hosted events.

• Own the ambitious lead generation targets allocated to our events programme. You'll care as much about what an event produces as how it runs.

• Own event delivery end to end: budgets, logistics, stand design, materials, speaker support, and the follow-up that turns conversations into pipeline.

• Be the point of reference for any brand question across the company, keeping everything from a sales deck to an event stand true to our voice and visual identity, and helping colleagues get it right rather than just correcting them after.

• Through your events programme, create and nurture a community of Cytix champions: the customers, partners and practitioners who talk about us when we're not in the room.

• Measure what's working, event ROI, leads generated, community growth, brand consistency, and feed it back into what we do next.

• A few years' experience in B2B marketing with real event delivery under your belt: you've booked venues, negotiated with sponsors, built stands, and know what a well-run event feels like from the inside.

• A commercial head: you're comfortable being measured on what your events generate, not just how smoothly they ran.

• A creative eye - you know how to make Cytix stand out in a saturated events hall with iterations of the same booth design and messaging

• Strong organisational instincts.

• Good writing and a sharp eye for brand: you can hold a voice that isn't your own and spot when something drifts off-identity.

• Comfort with ambiguity: briefs won't always be complete, and we'd rather you make a sensible start than wait for one.

• Willingness to travel to events and be visibly, energetically present at them. Security or tech industry experience is a bonus, not a requirement.

• Unlimited Holidays!

• Share options - If Cytix wins, you should too.

• Enhanced maternity pay.

• Pension - 8% (3% employer, 5% employee)

• Private Healthcare (inc. dental, optical and hearing)

• Octopus car scheme - Drive electric through salary sacrifice

• Dog-friendly office.

• Inclusivity as standard - A team where you can do your best work as yourself, no asterisks.

About Cytix

• Software never stops changing. Teams ship new code every day, through tickets, pull requests, releases, and increasingly with AI in the mix, but the way security keeps up with all that change hasn't really moved on. That's the problem we're solving. Cytix helps organisations understand which software changes actually matter, what should happen next, and how to prove the right call was made. Security understood, in other words.

  We're a small team with big plans, so every person we hire genuinely shapes what Cytix becomes. That's why we're upfront about our five values: we interview for all of them, and they matter to us more than a perfect CV. They're things you do, not things you are, so have a read and see if they sound like you.

   

  Make the first move. When the goal is clear but the path isn't, you get moving rather than waiting for perfect instructions. If you're blocked, you make a sensible call, say what you're assuming, and explain how you'd course-correct. We'd rather you act and be slightly wrong than sit still.

   

  Find the smarter path. You ask why before how. You dig into what the real problem is instead of just building what the spec says, and you're happy to question 'that's how it's always been done' when the reason behind it has gone stale.

   

  See it through. When something's yours, it lands. No loose ends, no surprises for whoever picks it up next. You keep people posted when things change, and if something falls between roles, you catch it.

   

  Raise the bar. You do the best job possible in the time you've got, whether that's a day or a month. Sometimes that means deep craft; sometimes the smartest move is quick and scrappy. It's about good judgement, and we hold each other to it without blame or politics.

   

  Play to win. You care about the mission but don't take yourself too seriously. You say 'I' when things go wrong and 'we' when they go right, trust teammates to do things their own way, and bring a bit of humour when the pressure's on.

  Sound like you on a normal working day? We'd love to meet you.
