About the Role
Our mission is to provide the best renting experience in the world and weâre on the hunt for a Director of Marketing, reporting directly to the CEO, to help us achieve this.
As Director of Marketing you will drive revenue growth for Goodlordâs SaaS and services based solutions by directing all online and offline marketing initiatives in a fast-paced environment.
As a key member of the management team, you will be responsible for developing and implementing strategies which strengthen the businesses position in the marketplace and build sustainable growth.
We hire for talent at Goodlord so whilst we do need you to be an experienced Marketer & strong people leader - the core responsibilities, day to day and âabout youâ will be enhanced depending on the level, expertise and specialism that you bring.
No two days are ever the same at Goodlord so what youâll be up to will vary. The pace we move at also means priorities will change and youâll need to be comfortable with this (weâll support you!). But these are the things that will be core to your role and will keep you busy.
