Role Description This is a one-person, full-stack B2B marketing role: planner, orchestrator, and executor. You will own the demand-generation engine end to end — strategy through to the click — and hand qualified pipeline to a full-cycle sales team. You will not have a team underneath you on day one; you will build the playbook, run the campaigns yourself, and prove the motion before we scale it. We have strong fundamentals to build on: - Post-qualification win rates around 60% - A sales team that closes The gap is the top of the funnel — demand creation is our weakest link, and new-logo acquisition has stalled. Your mandate is to fix that. You are scrappy, founder-minded, and comfortable owning operations yourself — but you understand how a real B2B SaaS marketing engine works at the $1M–$10M stage, and how to wire it into Sales to generate MQLs that convert. B2B is KodeKloud's biggest growth lever and this is its founding marketing hire. You'll have the autonomy of a one-person function, the leverage of a product and sales motion that already works, and a direct line to leadership. If you want to build a demand engine from the ground up and own the outcome, this is it. Qualifications - B2B EdTech / technical SaaS marketer with a deep understanding of marketing engines for B2B EdTech or developer-focused SaaS. - Scrappy operator with founder or early-startup experience and mindset. - Knows the $1M–$10M journey and understands the levers that matter at each step. - Sales-aligned, thinking in pipeline and MQLs, not vanity metrics. - Full-stack execution across demand gen, lifecycle, webinars, content, paid, marketing ops, and basic analytics. Requirements Strongest fit comes from someone who has marketed a comparable IT/Cloud/DevOps learning platform and knows this buyer cold. Directly relevant backgrounds include: - Highly relevant: Linux Academy, A Cloud Guru, DataCamp, Whizlabs, Pluralsight, Cloud Academy - Adjacent / considered: Udemy (Business), Coursera, and similar B2B EdTech or developer-tooling SaaS - Equivalent experience marketing technical training, certification, or developer products to organisations is welcome even if the logo isn't on this list. What Success Looks Like (First 6–12 Months) - First 90 days: Demand-gen plan and budget approved; HubSpot/funnel instrumentation and MQL framework live; first webinar and outbound SDR motion running. - By 6 months: A repeatable, measurable demand engine producing a predictable flow of qualified pipeline to AEs, with attribution you can stand behind. - By 12 months: New-logo acquisition trending back up, a proven playbook ready to scale, and a clear case for building a team around you.
