Director of Marketing - Urgent Hiring

We are searching for an organized Director of Marketing to join our stellar team at Freightos in Barcelona.
Growing your career as a Full Time Director of Marketing is a terrific opportunity to develop useful skills.
If you are strong in teamwork, project management and have the right mindset for the job, then apply for the position of Director of Marketing at Freightos today!

WebCargo by Freightos is the world’s largest global freight booking platform, connecting the largest airlines and ocean liners in the world to freight companies. This matters. Everything you use - besides that macrame donkey your niece made you three years ago - is made somewhere and shipped. Our tech and network make that happen for freight companies that move over 30% of global trade. With over 10,00 global freight offices around the world, direct connections to the world’s largest airlines and ocean liners, and numbers that prove that we - quite literally - move the world, this is kind of a big deal. Big enough that we’re on track to go public on the Nasdaq in early 2023.

 

We’re bringing global freight online with an outstanding freight booking platform that does well over half a billion dollars of bookings every year. But it doesn’t happen alone. It requires persistent brand building, strong, data-driven acquisition, performance marketing, sales enablement, content marketing, product marketing, press releases, a complex tech stack and more. Most importantly, it requires a (drum-roll) Director of Marketing to make it all happen. We’ve scaled the company to 95% of the top twenty global freight companies, and have collaborated with the world’s best airlines in getting them online, but we’ve been waiting for you (yes, you) to help us take this to the next level. Buckle your seatbelt and put your tray table up. We’re about to take off. 

Responsibilities: 

• You will make it all happen, coordinating our marketing activities across our SaaS and transactional platforms around the world. And you’ll do it from day one, planning, executing and optimizing our marketing strategy. It’s easy to find a YouTube video so someone saying “Yes”. We want someone who will challenge everything and build a pitch-perfect strategy across brand marketing, digital acquisition, event marketing, flower arrangement (just checking if you’re paying attention), sales enablement, and product marketing across both enterprise and SMB SaaS platforms.
• Once you have that plan (and the flower arrangement), you’ll implement that annual marketing plan, regularly assessing performance (with data, obviously!) and optimising planning. We don’t know what works but we sure as heck are going to figure it out. 
• A big part of our marketing strategy is combining thought leadership (yes, we do love the fact that the word ship is in that word), as well as significant paid spend and media buying to spread the cargo digitization word. Oh, and did we mention trade shows? Biiiiiig fan.
• We don’t market so that our mothers see us in the New York Times (although that is fun). We do it to drive leads, sales and revenue. You’ll work with our corporate marketing team and operations team to build and provide ongoing reporting and analysis about just how much we’re destroying our targets.
• Manage and scale a team of outstanding marketers…then point them in the direction and get out of their way.
• Oversee WebCargo’s digital presence, including social media and website. Yes, our current website is not great. And yes, you’re going to fix that.
• Just to get a little technical, you’ll also help scope and build WebCargo’s technical marketing infrastructure in collaboration with internal and external folks that are just plain (plane?) awesome at what they do.

Hybrid:
Yes
