SessionLab is the leading platform for workshop facilitation and process design. Our mission is to empower people to create change. We do that by building technology that enables better facilitation. More than 100.000 professionals are using our Software-as-a-Service product to design and deliver meaningful workshops.

We are looking for a Head of Marketing ideally with the ambition to also lead our current three-people marketing team.

We need a combination of hands-on demand generation/marketing experience and the experience and appetite to run a small marketing team for a B2B SaaS company.

You will work closely with – ideally, you will end up managing – our marketing team and get involved in our leadership team. You will build and optimize marketing programs and campaigns using a mix of different channels to drive marketing-qualified leads and revenue. You will manage the marketing budget and own and report on marketing KPIs.

We are a bootstrapped and profitable software business, headquartered in Tallinn, Estonia, and working across Europe with a fully remote 13-person team. Therefore, we are looking for somebody who is self-motivated, independent, and comfortable working in a remote environment.

Responsibilities
