What we expect from you
We’re seeking a Head of Growth Marketing (CDD – 6 months) to cover a maternity leave. Reporting to the VP of Marketing, you’ll take ownership of demand generation, inbound performance, and pipeline acceleration during this key period.
You’ll lead the inbound team, manage multi-channel acquisition campaigns, and oversee advertising budgets to ensure cost-efficient growth. This is a hands-on leadership role where strategic vision meets execution — perfect for a growth marketer eager to make a real impact in a fast-paced SaaS scale-up.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Demand & Acquisition Marketing: Lead full-funnel inbound initiatives across organic (SEO on Google, LLMs, social, CRO, nurture campaigns) and paid channels (SEA, LinkedIn, Meta, others) to maximize qualified demos, pipeline acquisition, and ROI.
- Experimentation & Optimization: Run A/B tests and rapid experiments to identify new opportunities, optimize funnel performance, and improve conversion rates.
- Automation & Technology: Leverage AI, automation, and MarTech tools to streamline workflows, improve targeting, and scale campaign impact.
- Data-Driven Insights: Own reporting and analytics to track performance, uncover growth opportunities, and guide strategy with a focus on ROI.
- Team Leadership: Manage and mentor inbound marketers, ensuring clarity of goals, efficient execution, and professional growth.
- Budget Management: Oversee and optimize advertising spend across channels, ensuring cost efficiency and maximum return on investment.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with sales, product, and operations to align and integrate growth initiatives company-wide.
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years in demand generation and growth marketing, ideally in B2B SaaS (agency background a plus).
- Fluent in English (French is a plus).
- Proven track record driving acquisition and retention across organic and paid channels, with strong expertise in conversion optimization.
- Experience managing and mentoring a marketing team, aligning goals, motivating execution, and delivering results.
- Strategic and data-driven mindset, with strong skills in analytics, funnel metrics, and A/B testing.
- Proficiency with AI, automation, and MarTech tools to scale performance.
- Proactive, curious, and creative problem-solver with high attention to detail.
What we have to offer
- A 6-month strategic leadership role with high visibility and impact during a key growth phase.
- A fast-growing SaaS scale-up with an international team of 20+ nationalities.
- Autonomy and ownership in a stimulating environment where new ideas are encouraged.
- Lyon-based offices (city of gastronomy 🍷🥐) with flexible remote policy and public transportation reimbursement.
- Open to partial remote (up to 2.5 days per week)
