The role

You’ll report to the Chief Product Officer and lead marketing across the business. There’s a capable team in place and plenty of good work already happening. Your opportunity is to bring it all together: a single strategy, shared goals, and an operating rhythm that turns the team’s energy into a predictable, measurable demand engine. You’ll define what success looks like across the funnel and build the connective tissue, from clear OKRs to campaign attribution, that lets the team see and grow its impact.

This is a builder’s role, and that’s the best part of it. You’ll be hands-on with the strategy, the campaigns and the numbers, and you’ll bring the AI workflows that help a focused team do the work of a much larger one. The business is wonderfully varied, with several products, multiple priority verticals and two distinct go-to-market motions, and the most effective leaders here build strong relationships well beyond their own team. If you enjoy shaping things and bringing people with you, you’ll thrive.

What you’ll do

Set the strategy and bring the team with you - You’ll define the marketing strategy and the OKRs, goals and operating cadence that give the whole team a shared plan and a clear definition of great.

Own the demand engine - You’ll take paid acquisition to the next level, building rigorous testing and experimentation system across paid search and social so every pound works harder. You’ll also make content a flagship strength: from high-value thought leadership to SEO and GEO, content is how Modulr earns attention, builds trust and pulls inbound demand into the funnel.

Drive commercial rigour - Working closely with RevOps to build the data and systems foundation that lets marketing operate as a confident, commercially minded function, connecting marketing, sales and the broader stack.

Sharpen how Modulr shows up in market - You’ll make product marketing a real strategic differentiator. In a crowded payments market, the sharper we are on who we serve, the harder every campaign and sales conversation works. From ICP and positioning to messaging and product launches, you'll define how Modulr shows up in market.

Build out the growth motions - You’ll launch and grow ABM into large enterprise across our priority verticals, build the partner-led motion that drives SME acquisition, and help shape the emerging product-led growth (PLG) motion that lets SMEs adopt Modulr for themselves. Several routes to market, one ambitious team.

Grow events into a pipeline channel - You’ll grow events into a deliberate, high-impact pipeline channel that builds on the strong presence we already have.

Lead and develop the team - You’ll develop the people on the team, help them do the best work of their careers, and hire selectively to add the skills that take us further.

Make AI the team’s superpower - You’ll build workflows and agents yourself and coach the team to build their own, weaving AI through how marketing works day to day. Done well, this is how a focused team compresses campaign cycles, personalises at scale and grows its impact without adding headcount for every new ask.

Who you are

• A track record of building and scaling B2B marketing functions by bringing strategy, people and process together to build a team that produces consistent pipeline.
• Confidence owning the number across pipeline, CAC, payback and attribution, with the analytical sharpness and commercial acumen to translate data into clear prioritisation and confident decision-making.
• An entrepreneurial mindset and a track record of driving cross-functional change. You take initiative, focus on solutions rather than process, and you’re just as happy rolling up your sleeves alongside the team as you are setting direction.
• Experience across both product-led and sales-led growth motions, in businesses with several products and more than one priority vertical, paired with outstanding communication and stakeholder management across teams you don’t directly own.
• A bias to outcomes and the judgement to focus the team on the things that will make the biggest difference.
• Real fluency with AI, not just everyday use. You’ve built and shipped your own agents, automations and workflows, and you can sit down and prototype something yourself. We’d love you to walk us through your work during the interview process.
