Marketing Manager

We are looking for a creative Marketing Manager to lead marketing across both Data Direct and Funteron entities at a pivotal stage of growth. You will be responsible for building and executing integrated marketing strategies that span two business units, driving brand awareness, pipeline generation and customer engagement across our SaaS platform.

This is a broad‑scope role requiring someone equally comfortable setting strategy and rolling up their sleeves. You will own our social presence, lead our SEO and digital engagement efforts, and oversee our events programme, working closely with Sales, Product and Customer Success to ensure everything is tightly aligned to business objectives.

You’ll own our marketing function — with real freedom to build, test, and scale

Originally we are looking in Belfast with business trips to Dublin regularly

Take full ownership of marketing across both Data Direct entities, ensuring coherent strategy, consistent brand positioning and coordinated execution. Develop and manage separate marketing plans for each entity where required, while identifying shared opportunities and efficiencies. Report on marketing performance at group level, providing clear insight to senior stakeholders.

Bringing new products to market isn’t "write a press release and post on Linked In." You’ll build full GTM strategies — positioning, messaging, launch playbooks — making sure sales knows exactly what to say and the market knows exactly what to hear.

Content is your primary growth engine. Blog posts, case studies, whitepapers, email sequences — everything has to drive pipeline, not just "maintain an online presence." You’ll build a machine where every piece of content pulls a real business result.

Organic isn’t a nice‑to‑have — it’s a fully‑fledged channel with KPIs. You own it end‑to‑end: keyword strategy, on‑page, technical SEO, link building, rankings tracking.

Linked In and beyond — not a news ticker, but a way to build authority and generate inbound. You plan, write, test formats, and live by the numbers.

Conferences, webinars, owned events — you make sure every single one delivers ROI, not just a "we showed up" checkbox.

Tight collaboration with sales (enablement, campaigns, deal support) and product (launch comms, roadmap messaging). You’re the bridge between what we build and how the market hears it.
