The Role
Own and build RaftLabs’ growth marketing function across its website, SaaS products, and client accounts. Develop growth strategies, lead SEO/AEO/GEO, content, outreach, backlink acquisition, analytics, experimentation, conversion optimization, and reporting. Build and manage a marketing team, create repeatable client-service systems, and connect marketing activity to traffic, leads, conversions, and revenue. The role requires significant autonomy, strategic ownership, client-facing experience, and daily use of AI tools.

This is a remote position.
RaftLabs is an AI-first product studio. We build custom software, SaaS products, and AI applications for clients in the UK, EU, North America, and Australia. We also build our own products: LoyaltyPass and Makeover.
We are building a growth marketing function from scratch. This role owns it.
What you'll own:
Growth across three areas:
- RaftLabs.com — SEO, AEO, GEO, content, backlinks, and lead generation
- Our own products — LoyaltyPass, Makeover, and future RaftLabs products
- Client accounts — selected growth marketing engagements for paying clients
Channels you own: content marketing, SEO, AEO, GEO, backlinks, outreach, website growth, conversion optimisation, distribution, experiments, analytics, team building.
What you'll do:
What you'll do:
Growth strategy
Set and own the growth plan for each brand and assigned client. Understand the audience, competition, and business goals. Turn that into monthly and quarterly plans with clear priorities. Take ownership of results without waiting for founder direction.
Team building
Define what roles are needed. Hire, onboard, manage, and develop team members across content, SEO, outreach, analytics, and distribution. Build a team that works for both internal brands and client accounts. Create clear SOPs, quality standards, and reporting systems that do not require you to review every output personally.
Growth marketing as a service
Help shape and package RaftLabs' growth marketing offering. Define what we deliver, how we deliver it, and what clients can expect. Prepare audits, growth plans, proposals, and reporting templates. Build the systems that make multi-client delivery repeatable.
SEO, AEO, and GEO
Own technical, on-page, and off-page SEO across all properties. Build topic clusters, content roadmaps, and internal linking plans. Work with developers to address crawlability, schema, and speed. Optimise content for AI answer engines: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and AI Overviews. Track AI mentions, branded citations, and referral traffic from AI platforms.
Content marketing
Plan content around buyer intent, search demand, and business priorities. Manage blog posts, landing pages, case studies, service pages, comparison pages, and guides. Write clear briefs for writers and subject matter experts. Review content for quality, accuracy, and search performance. Repurpose across LinkedIn, X, newsletters, and relevant communities.
Backlinks and outreach
Build scalable and ethical link acquisition strategies. Manage guest posts, expert contributions, digital PR, and partnership opportunities. Measure backlink quality and business impact, not just domain counts. Build outreach systems with templates, tracking, and follow-up processes that scale without depending solely on cold volume.
Analytics and reporting
Define meaningful KPIs for each brand and client account. Build dashboards that connect marketing activity to traffic, leads, conversions, and revenue. Deliver clear weekly and monthly updates. Use data to guide priorities, not to justify past decisions.
Experiments
Maintain an experiment pipeline across channels, formats, and offers. Define the hypothesis and success metric before every test. Scale what works. Kill what does not. Document every finding so the team learns from it.

- Strong written communication: your briefs, plans, and client reports represent RaftLabs.
- Comfortable managing multiple brands and client accounts in parallel.
- Uses Claude, ChatGPT, or equivalent AI tools in daily marketing work — for research, drafting, ideation, and analysis. Already part of your workflow, not something you are planning to try.

- Experience building a marketing service line from scratch.
- Experience creating client audits, growth roadmaps, and proposal documents.
- Experience marketing to audiences in the US, UK, Ireland, Canada, and Australia.

Hard filters — don't apply if
- Your marketing experience is purely execution with no strategy ownership.
- You have never worked on B2B or SaaS marketing.
- You have no client-facing marketing experience.
- You have never managed or mentored anyone on a marketing team.
- AI tools are something you plan to use more, rather than already in your daily workflow.
- You need daily direction to decide what to work on next.
Benefits
How we work
- Fully remote. Async-first: work moves through clear plans, written briefs, and documented decisions — not back-to-back meetings. We measure output: traffic, leads, rankings, pipeline. Not hours logged.
- You will have real autonomy here. Build the function, choose the tools, run the experiments, own the results. There is no marketing playbook handed down from above. Writing it is part of the job.
- Annual offsite: the full team meets in person once a year.
What success looks like
In the first 90 days: audit of current marketing activity across RaftLabs, LoyaltyPass, and Makeover. A clear growth plan for each property. Team structure defined, first hire identified. Repeatable systems for content, SEO, and outreach in place. First client engagement scoped or in delivery.
Over time: a high-performing growth marketing team running without constant founder involvement. Growth marketing as a reliable RaftLabs service line. Measurable improvement in organic traffic, AI citations, leads, and client pipeline.
