B2B MARKETING MANAGER, GLOBAL MARKETS
First Marketing Hire for the Group | Pune (Hybrid) | Reports Directly to the Founder & CEO
BE THE FIRST MARKETER TO BUILD A FUNCTION FROM ZERO, WITH REAL PROOF ALREADY IN HAND
We're a 10-year-old Zoho Premium Partner and technology consulting group: 200+ engineers, five countries, six legal entities, named clients across logistics, energy, financial services, real estate and manufacturing in Australia, the UK, the US and the UAE/Saudi Arabia. We've built AI agents handling 80,000+ inbound leads a year, cut month-end close from 12 days to 5, and cut contract review from 3 weeks to 5 days.
The problem? Almost none of that is visible to a buyer who hasn't already met us. We've grown purely on referrals and founder relationships. That's where you come in.
This isn't a "run the blog and post on social media" job. You'll build a marketing function from the ground up, report straight to the CEO, and turn a decade of delivery proof into a real pipeline engine across four global markets.
WHAT YOU'LL OWN
Demand Generation & Paid Channels
- End-to-end LinkedIn (organic + paid via Campaign Manager)
- Target account lists / ABM for priority accounts
- Email marketing, nurture flows and deliverability
- Your own landing pages, built and optimised by you
- A real paid media budget across LinkedIn & Google, measured on cost per qualified conversation
Content, Thought Leadership & AI Search
- Editorial calendar across 4 global markets
- High-value case studies, including client approvals
- Ghostwriting for the founders' LinkedIn presence
- Technical SEO plus Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), getting us cited in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini answers
- Turning technical depth (AI agents, data platforms) into language a CFO will actually read
Marketing Operations & Reporting
- Owning our Zoho-centric MarTech/CRM stack
- Defining the lead lifecycle and MQL with sales
- Building the one dashboard leadership actually opens
- Email compliance across Australia, UK/EU, US and UAE
Partner & Ecosystem Co-Marketing
- Unlocking marketing development funds across our Zoho, AWS and Microsoft partnerships
- Co-marketing with partner field teams: webinars, content, marketplace listings
PR, Awards, Events & Speaking
- Managing our PR agency
- Award and industry-list submissions
- Speaking/conference opportunities for founders and architects
- Webinars and regional event decisions
Sales Enablement & Employer Brand Support
- Sales collateral that actually gets used
- Sitting in on real discovery calls to learn how we win
- Supporting HR on employer branding
WHAT YOU BRING (MUST-HAVES)
- 4 to 7 years in B2B marketing, including at least 2 years marketing to buyers outside India (Australia, UK, US, Europe, Middle East or Singapore): non-negotiable
- Background in IT services, tech consulting, enterprise software, SaaS or managed services
- Clean, sharp, unpadded writing that works in front of a Western enterprise buyer
- Hands-on (not just briefed-out) experience with a marketing automation platform: Zoho, HubSpot, Marketo, Pardot or similar, plus LinkedIn Campaign Manager, landing pages, and GA4/Looker Studio/Zoho Analytics
- Strong judgment and the confidence to say no to the wrong requests
NICE TO HAVE
- Account-based marketing experience
- A point of view on GEO / AI search visibility
- Case study production including client approval processes
- Partner co-marketing experience (Microsoft, AWS, Zoho, Databricks, Snowflake)
- Comfortable, disclosed use of AI tools in your daily workflow
WHAT'S NOT PART OF THIS ROLE (YEAR 1) Graphic design/video production, website engineering, outbound sales quotas, India-SMB marketing, analyst relations, or managing a team: all fully or partially outsourced or out of scope, so you can focus on building the function that matters.
WHAT WE OFFER
- Direct access to the CEO: decisions happen in days, not quarters
- A blank sheet: no legacy campaigns, no committee, no incumbent agency to fight
- Real proof to work with: 200+ delivered projects and measurable outcomes across four continents
- Compensation benchmarked to senior Pune IT-services roles, with a 12% variable guaranteed at full target in year one
- Genuine ownership of a function, with a explicit path to building a team as it scales
