## Job description

Über die Rolle

Als Accelerator verbindet A11 Europas ambitionierteste Startups, Scaleups, Konzerne und Mittelständler mit Top-Talenten, die echten Impact generieren wollen.

Unser Partner ist ein etablierter Anbieter von Finanz- und Controlling-Software für den Mittelstand: 350+ Mitarbeitende, 100.000+ Nutzer:innen, neues Führungsteam und ein führender europäischer Software-Investor im Rücken. Ein Unternehmen mit Substanz: seit 45 Jahren erfolgreich, profitabel und stabil. Und genau darin liegt die Chance. Mit dem Value-Creation-Plan des Investors beginnt die nächste Wachstumsphase - die Ambition: das Wachstum deutlich beschleunigen, mit Marketing als einem der zentralen Hebel.

Marketing wird hier zum echten Wachstumsmotor, und genau das will die Geschäftsführung: Als Chief Marketing Officer (m/w/d) bekommst du alle Freiheitsgrade, ein entsprechendes Budget und das Mandat, Dinge zu verändern, während du ein Team von rund 10 Kolleg:innen durch die Transformation führst und gemeinsam mit Sales, SDR, RevOps, Product und Customer Experience ein datengetriebenes Marketing Operating Model professionalisierst.

Du berichtest an den Chief Revenue Officer (Teil der Geschäftsführung), der den gesamten Go-to-Market-Bereich von Marketing über Vertrieb bis Customer Success verantwortet und den Wachstumsauftrag mit voller Überzeugung vorantreibt, und gemessen wirst du an Pipeline, Conversion und New ARR statt an Reichweite.

Sei verantwortlich für:

- Ein datengetriebenes Marketing Operating Model mit voller Funnel-Transparenz
- Ein Demand-Generation-System und einen tech-enabled Nurture-Cycle, die messbar in die Neukunden-Pipeline einzahlen
- Schärfung von ICP, Segmentierung und Messaging, gemeinsam mit Sales
- Die enge Verzahnung von Marketing, Product und Sales zu einem durchgängigen Go-to-Market-System
- Führung und Entwicklung des Teams durch den Wandel
- Gesamtverantwortung für Marketing inkl. Product Marketing, Brand und PR, mit klarer Priorität auf Funnel und Pipeline

Dein Profil:

- Mehrjährige Marketing-Leadership-Erfahrung im B2B-SaaS, Software oder angrenzendem tech-enabled B2B
- Nachweisbare Ownership für Demand Generation, Funnel und Pipeline
- Erfahrung beim Aufbau oder Umbau einer Marketingfunktion in einer Wachstumsphase
- Zahlenstark: Attribution, CAC und New ARR sind dein Alltag
- Builder-Mentalität, Resilienz und Tempo: Du kommst schnell von der Analyse in die Wirkung und holst die Organisation mit
- Teamplayer mit klarer Kommunikation, auch lateral auf Augenhöhe mit Sales und SDR
- Verhandlungssicheres Deutsch und Englisch
- Bonus: PE-backed Umfeld, KI-Affinität, Finance-/ERP-Kenntnisse

Du arbeitest hybrid und bist 1-2 Tage pro Woche am Hauptsitz in Bielefeld.

Benefits und Perks:

- Echter Gestaltungsspielraum: Transformationsmandat, alle Freiheitsgrade und Budget, direkter Draht zur Geschäftsführung
- PE-backed Wachstum: klarer Wachstumsplan, Best Practices des Investors und LTI-Beteiligung
- Ein mehrfach ausgezeichneter, stabiler und profitabler Arbeitgeber

Unser Commitment zu Diversity und Inklusion

A11 setzt sich für faire und gleiche Chancen im Recruiting ein, für Bewerber:innen, Kandidat:innen und Mitarbeitende gleichermaßen. Wir schätzen Menschen mit all ihren vielfältigen Hintergründen, Perspektiven und Erfahrungen und freuen uns auf deine Bewerbung.
