Head of Marketing

Job description

Job Summary: DisplayNote Technologies is looking for a commercially minded, hands-on Head of Marketing to lead our next phase of growth. This is a permanent leadership role that will initially provide maternity cover for our Marketing Manager before transitioning into the long-term Head of Marketing position, leading our marketing strategy. Working closely with the CEO and senior leadership team, you'll shape our brand, drive demand generation, strengthen our global partner ecosystem, and build a high-performing marketing function as we scale internationally. This is not a role focused simply on generating more marketing activity. It is an opportunity to shape a category, build international brand awareness, create demand across direct and partner-led markets, strengthen the value of our OEM ecosystem and develop the marketing function required for DisplayNote’s next stage of growth. Job Description: About DisplayNote DisplayNote builds the software experience layer for shared meeting rooms and learning spaces. Think of DisplayNote as the Apple CarPlay of shared spaces. The display, hardware and meeting platform may change, but DisplayNote creates a familiar, secure and consistent experience for the person using the room. Our two core platforms—Launcher and Montage—help organisations start meetings, share content, manage rooms centrally and create more predictable experiences across classrooms, meeting rooms and shared spaces. DisplayNote technology is embedded in hundreds of thousands of spaces worldwide through partnerships with leading display manufacturers, and is also sold directly to enterprise, education and technology customers. The technology is proven. The market opportunity is significant. But much of the value DisplayNote creates is still invisible to the people who experience it. We are now evolving from a successful embedded software provider into the recognised experience layer for shared spaces. Our ambition is to make DisplayNote the standard behind meeting rooms and learning spaces that work consistently—across hardware, devices, platforms and locations. The Opportunity We are looking for a commercially minded, hands-on Head of Marketing to help make that ambition real. This is not a role focused simply on generating more marketing activity.

This will give you first-hand exposure to our customers, products, partners, systems, commercial priorities and routes to market. Alongside day-to-day delivery, you will begin shaping the longer-term marketing strategy, operating model, measurement framework, resource plan and team structure. When the Marketing Manager returns, they will report directly to you and resume ownership of day-to-day marketing execution. Your focus will then shift further towards strategic leadership, commercial growth, team development and cross-functional alignment.

Marketing operations and performance: Build a reliable marketing operating system covering CRM alignment, lead management, automation, attribution, dashboards and performance reporting. Content and communications: Oversee content, thought leadership, PR, executive communications, website, events and digital channels, ensuring consistent messaging and effective reuse across the buyer journey. Commercial alignment: Work closely with Sales, Product and Customer Success to improve proposition clarity, product launches, pipeline generation, customer engagement and market feedback loops. Team and resource leadership: Lead and develop the Marketing Manager, manage agencies and external partners, and recommend the future skills, structure, technology and investment needed to scale the function.
