Freelance Marketing & Communications Manager

We build deep, niche expertise with purpose: challenging assumptions, closing knowledge gaps, and letting genuine curiosity drive us ahead.

Focused Ambition

We pair a bold, shared vision with full ownership of our work, turning focused ambition into real results.

We share knowledge openly, lift each other up, and push each other to grow; because collaboration isn't just how we work, it's how we innovate.

backed by industry leaders

We started just three years ago, and we're moving fast. EDGX is backed by imec.istart, the imec.istart Future Fund, and the Flanders Future Tech Fund through a €2.3M seed round, plus several ongoing ESA contracts. Our first two satellite demonstration missions launched in March 2026 on a SpaceX Falcon 9, with more sure to come. If you want to help define the future of the space industry, you'll feel right at home at EDGX.

Key Responsibilities

As our Freelance Marketing & Communications Manager, you own marketing at EDGX from A to Z. You're equally comfortable setting the brand strategy as you are writing a Linked In post or manning our booth at a conference. This is a broad, hands-on role for someone who wants to build the marketing function of a fast-growing spacetech scale-up. You'll work closely with the CEO and the Sales & Business Development Manager to make sure marketing directly supports EDGX's commercial growth.

• Outbound Marketing: In coordination with the Business Development & Sales team, you execute targeted outbound campaigns.
• Smart Nurtering: Sales cycles in Space are long. You keep EDGX "top of mind" with prospects and partners through content sequences (newsletters, product updates) and events, demos & workshops.

2. Brand & Strategic Messaging – 30%

• Messaging (B2B & B2G): You translate our technical capabilities into clear, compelling messaging, both for engineers as well as commercial and government stakeholders.

• Public relations: You act as the primary point of contact for the media. You draft press releases for company milestones (product launches, contracts, partnerships) and identify key journalists (Space, Tech, Defence) to secure coverage and interviews for the leadership team.
• Conferences & events: You coordinate outreach to secure meetings at trade shows and conferences and define the message and visual experience on-site to ensure we stand out.
• Budget & Planning: You own the marketing budget, planning and allocating spend in line with business development and corporate goals.

• Experience: 3+ years of experience in B2B marketing in a technical environment (Deeptech, Embedded Systems, SaaS). Experience with B2G Marketing is a plus.
