We're looking for a VP of Marketing to make this happen. You'll lead a high-performing global team and shape the marketing function end-to-end: positioning and category authority, a scalable demand engine, and the operating system behind it. This is a builder's role for a strategic, data-driven leader who wants their work to show up in commercial results, not just in brand tracking. This is a fully remote role for candidates based in the UK , Ireland, Switzerland, or the Netherlands.   What you will do • Define how Ideals wins You'll own positioning, messaging, competitive intelligence, and GTM plans across every product, segment, and region – the strategic foundation everything else in marketing builds on. • Build category authority From industry events, reports, and benchmarks to media relations, executive visibility, and speaking programmes - you'll make Ideals the name the upmarket M&A segment thinks of first, and keep every external touchpoint aligned with our brand positioning. • Turn attention into pipeline You'll drive demand generation across paid and organic channels, ABM, content, and nurture, then guide the team capturing it through search, review platforms, intent data, and conversion optimisation. As the Key Accounts Sales team scales, you'll direct regional programmes into each market's sales plan and own the result end to end against pipeline and revenue targets. • Run marketing as a system You'll own the martech and analytics stack, attribution, KPI framework, and ROI reporting – plus the marketing budget, agencies, and strategic vendors – so every decision is data-driven, and every dollar is accountable. • Lead the people who make it happen You'll hire, develop, and lead a global team, and work shoulder to shoulder with Sales, Product, and Customer Success to drive cohesive business growth.
