Head of Growth Marketing

About Spendesk

Spendesk is a profitable, fast-growing spend management platform pioneering the future of company spend. We're building a world-class GTM organisation and entering our next ambitious growth phase across Europe.

About the role

As Head of Growth Marketing, you'll report to the VP of Marketing and own the full growth marketing function — from paid acquisition and lifecycle to website, experimentation, and marketing ops. You'll lead a team of marketers and growth engineers, acting as a senior GTM leader with deep technical expertise, strong commercial instincts, and the executive presence to represent growth at the highest levels of the organisation.

What you'll own

Acquisition & Pipeline Growth

Own the end-to-end demand generation engine, driving pipeline and revenue growth across key European markets. Develop a diversified channel strategy across paid social, paid search, and more — continuously optimising mix based on unit economics and ROI.

Performance Marketing

Lead and scale paid media channels (paid social, paid search) with a structured test-and-learn framework, maintaining CAC within agreed thresholds.

Website & Experimentation

Own website performance and a CRO roadmap across UX, messaging, and technical performance — championing a culture of rigorous A/B testing and experimentation across the GTM org.

Lifecycle & Nurture

Design and run nurture programmes to drive both funnel conversion

Growth Engineering & Marketing Technology

Lead our growth engineering capability and own the martech stack — including data infrastructure, attribution, and AI-powered automation. Ensure all activity has clear tracking and measurement in place.

Marketing Ops & Reporting

Own marketing operations end-to-end — CRM hygiene, lead routing, attribution, and sales handovers. Build a single source of truth for growth reporting trusted by the VP Marketing, CEO, and leadership team.

Leadership & GTM Collaboration

Build, lead, and develop a high-performing team of marketers and growth engineers. Act as a key GTM leader — working closely with Sales, Product Marketing, and RevOps, and representing growth at executive level with clarity and commercial conviction.

Your impact (key metrics)

• Inbound pipeline volume and quality
• Marketing-attributed revenue and ROI by channel
• Marketing blended & paid CAC
• Website conversion rates
• Experimentation velocity

Who we're looking for

Technically deep, commercially sharp

You understand how systems, data flows, and tooling work. You can architect attribution from scratch, hold your own with engineers, and make smart martech decisions — paired with strong commercial instincts and a clear ability to connect marketing to business outcomes.

Leadership & coaching credentials: 8+ years in growth or performance marketing in B2B SaaS, with a clear track record of scaling demand gen engines and developing high-performing teams.

Executive presence and communication

Credible and clear in a room with senior leaders. You translate complex data into compelling narratives, make a case for investment, and understand what it means to be a strategic partner, not just a function head.

Scientific and rigorous

You build structured experimentation and prioritisation frameworks, with deep expertise in analytics and attribution. You run on data, not gut feel.

Martech & growth stack expertise

Demonstrated expertise across marketing automation, CRM, paid media, analytics tooling, AI-powered workflows, and data infrastructure.

A collaborative GTM player

You've worked in tight partnership with Sales, Product Marketing, and RevOps. You design lead handovers and pipeline accountability that make the whole GTM machine run better.
