Marketing Manager

The Role

We're looking for a Marketing Manager to help strengthen Aegiq's marketing function as we grow, working closely with our Chief Product Officer. This is a broad, hands-on role covering everything from campaign planning and lead generation to press engagement, website management, and account-based marketing for our most strategic customers. We know this is a very wide set of responsibilities and we are not expecting a single person to have all of these in depth from the start.

We're looking for someone exceptionally sharp, curious, and quick to learn, who we can invest in and grow with the company. You'll be supported with mentorship, training, and external specialists (e.g. PR agency, website contractor) so you're never doing the hardest parts alone. We are looking for someone with the ability to take complex, highly technical concepts (photonic quantum computing is not simple) and translate them into clear, compelling language for both technical and non-technical audiences, from prospective customers to journalists to VCs.

• Plan and run marketing campaigns that generate qualified leads.
• Own our outbound marketing strategy across digital channels, events, and press.
• Evaluate and help select the marketing/CRM tooling that will scale with us, then own its day-to-day use.
• Use AI tools to support content creation, analytics, and campaign optimisation.
• Monitor and report on campaign performance, turning data into clear, actionable insight to improve ROI.

• Work with the CPO to shape messaging for product launches and major announcements.
• Write clear, concise content that distils complex technical concepts into simple, engaging English for non-technical audiences.
• Manage press and media engagement, working alongside our external PR/communications agency.

• Manage the company website in partnership with our external development contractor.
• Make simple content updates directly where possible.
• Own strong SEO performance and a steady pipeline of engaging content.

• Develop partner marketing activity with our ecosystem partners and customers.
• Work with the CPO to develop and execute account-based marketing (ABM) campaigns targeting strategic accounts.

• Work closely with the CPO and whole leadership team to keep marketing activity tightly aligned with business goals.

• We expect this role to suit a very smart, tech-savvy recent graduate with some internship or early-career marketing experience - someone with strong fundamentals and real potential, not necessarily someone who has already done all of the above at scale.
• A genuine interest in deep tech, and the ability (or clear potential) to get to grips with complex technical subject matter well enough to explain it simply.
• Strong writing skills, able to adapt tone and complexity for different audiences, from engineers to investors to journalists.
• Comfortable with data: able to look at campaign or website performance and draw out what matters.
• Curious about, and comfortable using, AI tools as part of day-to-day work.
• Some hands-on exposure to marketing already - an internship, placement, society role, freelance work, or your first job - rather than a specific number of years' experience.
• Experience with business focused social media channels including Linked In
• Organised and self-directed: comfortable owning a varied workload and asking for help when needed.
• A collaborative style. You'll work daily with the CPO, leadership team, engineering team, and external partners.

• Exposure to a CRM or marketing automation platform (e.g. Hub Spot), experience with basic website content management
• Prior exposure to a startup, scale-up, or technical/scientific environment.

• Direct mentorship from an experienced CPO and leadership team who have chosen to build much of the company around developing early-career talent.
• Support from specialist external partners (PR agency, website contractor) so you're learning alongside experts, not figuring everything out solo.
• Real ownership and visibility from day one, with scope for the role and your responsibilities to grow significantly as Aegiq scales.
• A close-knit, supportive, and inclusive team culture, in a company working on category-defining deep technology.
• The opportunity to work directly with counterparts in major companies and institutions worldwide,…
