What you will do

You'll own the full marketing motion for Lighthouse's independent hotels segment — globally. This is the part of our business that scales through volume, velocity, and smart targeting, and it's the part of our business where AI changes everything. You'll lead a small team of marketers, set the channel strategy, and build the demand engine that converts independent hoteliers into Lighthouse customers across NAM, EMEA, APAC, and LATAM.

What makes this different: we're an AI-first marketing organization. You're not just expected to use Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini — you're expected to build with them. Vibe-code landing pages. Spin up Clay tables to enrich data, route leads, draft nurture copy, and run experiments overnight. If your reaction to "we need a 200-account ABM motion by Friday" is to open Cowork and start building, you're going to thrive here. If you'd rather brief an agency and wait three weeks, this is not the role for you.

You'll be a player-coach: you'll set strategy, manage a cross-functional team, and roll up your sleeves to ship campaigns yourself. This role reports directly to the CMO.

Where you will have impact

  • Own the indie marketing strategy. Build the global demand generation plan for independent hotels — channel mix, segmentation, content, budget allocation, and bottoms-up pipeline targets. Defend it with data and adjust it monthly.
  • Run a high-velocity demand engine. Drive lead generation across paid media, email, webinars, field events, content syndication, and partner programs. Indie is a volume game — your funnel needs to scale.
  • Build, don't brief. Use Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini as part of your daily craft. Build agents and automations that take work off your team's plate. Maintain a portfolio of internal AI workflows that compound your team's output.
  • Performance management. Build bottoms-up targets per channel, per region, per segment. Own program- and channel-level reporting. Know what's working, what's not, and why — and act on it the same week.
  • Lead management & sales alignment. Optimize lead scoring, routing, and nurturing. Partner with sales leadership to keep handoffs clean and feedback loops tight. Use sales feedback to refine your next campaign, not your next quarter.
  • Conversion optimization. Test and improve landing pages, forms, and lifecycle journeys. A/B test relentlessly. Treat the website as a product, not a brochure.
  • Field & event marketing. Use field events, conferences, and partner moments to drive pipeline in the markets where independent hoteliers gather. Make every event accountable to a number.
  • Budget ownership. Manage the indie marketing budget with discipline. Reallocate to what's working. Kill what isn't.

What's in it for you?

  • Flexible working environment: Work from home or at one of our global offices.
  • Flexible time off: Autonomy to manage your work-life balance.
  • Alan Healthy benefits: 160€/month for food or nursery.
  • Payflow App: Access your earned salary in advance at no cost to you.

  • Wellbeing support: Subsidized up to 80% ClassPass subscription.
  • Comprehensive health insurance: 100% Alan coverage for you, your spouse, and dependents.
  • Collaborative team: High-bar, friendly, creative, and passionate colleagues.
  • Career development: Workshops, frameworks, tools, training, and processes to realize your full potential.

  •  

Who you are

  • 10+ years of total marketing experience, with 5–7 years in growth marketing, demand generation, or digital marketing leadership at a B2B SaaS company.
  • AI-native operator. You don't just use Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini — you build with them. You've shipped agents, automations, vibe-coded landing pages, or AI-driven workflows that have measurably moved metrics. After the first interview, we'll ask you to share an artifact you've built — a Loom of an agent, a Cowork skill, a Clay table, a custom GPT, an automation — anything that demonstrates your AI thinking.
  • Hands-on expert in HubSpot and Salesforce. You can build and optimize in these tools yourself — not just direct someone else to.
  • Analytical, comfortable in GA4 and BI tools (Looker, Tableau, or similar). You measure relentlessly and treat reporting as a daily habit, not a quarterly chore.
  • Player-coach. You can set strategy for the room and ship a campaign yourself the same week. You hire well, develop your team, and aren't afraid to do the work alongside them.
  • Channel-fluent across paid media, email, content, SEO, webinars, and field events. 
  • Entrepreneurial and scrappy. Comfortable in ambiguity, you move fast, you experiment, and you adjust the plan when the data tells you to.
  • Strong communicator. You can pitch a strategy to the CMO and the CRO, brief a designer, and unblock a team member — all in the same hour.
  • Aligned with sales. Track record of building tight feedback loops with sales leadership and shaping pipeline targets together.
  • Global perspective. Comfortable building campaigns that work across NAM, EMEA, APAC, and LATAM.
  • Bias to action. You'd rather ship a B+ campaign this week than an A campaign next quarter.
  • Available to travel up to 5–10%.
