VP of Marketing

This is a rare opportunity to step in as the VP of Marketing for a £5–10m ARR SaaS business with a proven PMF in a pivotal moment of growth as they enter a PE cycle.

A chance to rebuild the marketing function into a scalable, data-driven growth engine, achieve a promotion to CMO, and benefit from an equity event.

£105,000 - £120,000 + Bonus + Equity

Remote UK. F2F leadership meetings in the Southwest HQ every 2-4 weeks

Why join our client

My client is an owner managed, bootstrapped SaaS scale-up going through a PE sale in the next 6 months, before entering their next growth cycle.

Under £10mill ARR, my client has a very strong reputation in their market, some very loyal partnerships with well recognised global brands (over 90% retention rate) and ambition to grow 3X in the next 4-5 years.

Their products sell B2B, with one arm self-serve (20% of revenue) and the other enterprise sales (80% of revenue).

How you’ll make an impact

Reporting to the CEO, this role requires someone who can transform the marketing function. Currently marketing lacks structure, clear direction, and isn’t scalable.

You’ll rebuild the marketing strategy, layer in AI-driven efficiency, and own the P&L for the self-serve product (circa £1.5m). Alongside this, you’ll create a demand engine that feeds both self-serve and enterprise revenue.

You will lead and develop a team of 4 FTE but still thrive being hands-on. We’re looking for someone who is obsessed with data and proves what is working with numbers.

Why our client is excited about you

The right VP of Marketing hire will be able to give confidence to the CEO that they have the track record to do this autonomously and can develop into their future CMO.

We’re looking for a proven track record in a fast-growth SaaS startup with a similar revenue model (self-serve + enterprise) and size/stage.

We’re interested in candidates who can demonstrate:

• You have scaled pipeline and revenue in a £5-20mill ARR SaaS environment, as a ‘Head of’, Director or VP.
• You can build and optimise a full-funnel growth engine, and you’re familiar with the self-serve model. Owning attribution, funnel metrics, and using data to make and defend decisions on spend, channels and performance.
• You’re excited by walking into an underdeveloped function, spotting the opportunity, and implementing structure, prioritisation, and performance.
• You’re comfortable with the existing tech stack – Hubspot (essential), Clay, Webflow CMS, and have prior experience introducing AI tools for efficiency

What you’ll get in return

The VP Marketing will have the unique opportunity to take a business through a full PE cycle from start to finish, with equity attached. Joining as VP and exiting as CMO in 4-5 years.

Salary £105,000 - £120,000 + Bonus + Equity + PMI

Remote Working (UK)

We invite applications from all qualified candidates who believe they meet the requirements of the role, whilst supporting and promoting equality and diversity to create an inclusive working environment for all.

Their product is both B2C and B2B, although the focus is growth on larger ticket, enterprise sales.

How you’ll make an impact

Reporting to CEO, this role requires someone who can transform the marketing function.

The right CMO will be comfortable working autonomously, with a proven track record working for a SaaS startup of a similar size/stage, and be able to:

• Assess the current marketing strategy, ensuring the team is fit-for-purpose to deliver on that strategy, and identify any skills gaps
• Fix structural issues in the team/framework
• Deliver value quickly with a focus on demand generation – both B2C (self-serve) and B2B products/pipelines
• Lead the hiring of a new Head of Marketing
• Demonstrate comfort with the existing tech stack – Hubspot (essential), Clay, Webflow CMS, and introduce AI tools for efficiency
• Work in a bootstrapped business. This person needs to be able to get the best out of what they have available, there isn’t an endless budget.

What you’ll get in return

The Fractional CMO will be given complete autonomy to transform the marketing function working in tandem with a brilliant CEO.

The role is outlined as 2-3 days p/w (dependent on rate) and is completely remote (UK).

I’ve outlined a rough day rate range above, but the most important thing here is someone who can deliver value quickly and shape the marketing team for the future. So, I’m open to talking to individuals a fraction north of that range.

We invite applications from all qualified candidates who believe they meet the requirements of the role, whilst supporting and promoting equality and diversity to create an inclusive working environment for all.
