Staffbase is seeking a Growth Marketing Lead to own and scale our marketing-led pipeline strategy and execution. In this role, you will evolve a high-performing acquisition engine that drives predictable, high-quality pipeline across digital, ABM, and field amplification channels. You'll partner closely with Sales to ensure tight full-funnel alignment - from awareness to SQL creation and opportunity progression. This is a player-coach leadership role.

The ideal candidate has successfully scaled integrated demand programs in a fast-growing B2B SaaS or AI-native technology company.

You translate complexity into clarity, avoiding marketing buzzwords • A high-output, low-ego operator: you lead with clarity, urgency, and humility. You are energized by ambiguity and growth, comfortable figuring things out as you go, and you see an undefined space as an opportunity rather than a blocker What you'll get • Competitive Compensation - we offer attractive salary packages including LTIP (unit-based Long Term Incentive Plan) • Flexibility - we offer flexible working time models and the option of hybrid work, and support this with a yearly flex work allowance of $2400 • Recharge - with 31 vacation days annually (incl. one floating holiday), plus pro rata fully paid Fridays off during August • Support - we're offering a RRSP plan with company match and health plans, including dental & vision as well as competitive Paid Parental Leave to support new parents • Volunteer Day - you'll get one day off per year for supporting a social project In compliance with local law, we are disclosing the compensation, or a range thereof.
