About the role

ABOUT THE ROLE Neural Concept builds category defining AI that helps engineers design better physical products, faster. Our technology is used by leading engineering organizations, including Formula 1 teams and major automotive manufacturers across Europe and Asia. We are defining a new category, AI for Engineering, and we are looking for a Chief Marketing Officer to establish it and build the marketing organization required for our next stage of global growth. Reporting to the CEO, you will lead an established international team and own our market positioning, product narrative, growth strategy and marketing operating model. You will combine a deep understanding of complex technology and enterprise customers with the ability to set priorities, scale teams and stay personally involved in the work that matters most. You will inherit a capable specialist team spanning product marketing, brand and communications, digital and marketing operations, creative, partner marketing and regional field marketing. Your job is to give that team a clear, durable strategy, connect our technology and market narrative to enterprise growth, and make disciplined choices about priorities, organization and resource allocation. Your work will shape how a new category is understood across the engineering world and influence how global manufacturers adopt AI in their design processes. WHAT YOU WILL DO Define positioning and category narrative - Own Neural Concept's point of view, differentiation, customer value proposition and category story around AI for Engineering. - Translate complex technology into a narrative that lands with engineers, executive buyers, partners, analysts and the broader market, and turn it into product marketing, sales enablement, launches, customer stories and executive-level commercial materials. - Keep it consistent across the product story, sales motion, customer conversations, partnerships and company communications. Build the marketing operating model - Set the structure, priorities, processes and decision cadence needed to scale the function. - Decide where to deploy internal resources, which capabilities to build in-house, and where to use agencies or external partners. - Make explicit what the team is doing, why it matters, what it is not doing, and how success is measured. Drive pipeline and enterprise growth - Define how marketing creates opportunities, accelerates pipeline and supports large enterprise deals, with particular attention to the highest-value opportunities in the pipeline, the US market, account-based marketing, and field and executive marketing. - Own the path from target account and engagement to qualified opportunity, and report on the indicators marketing is accountable for: 1.) opportunity creation, 2.) marketing-sourced and marketing-influenced pipeline, 3.) account engagement, 4.) brand authority and 5.) customer advocacy. - Build an integrated growth engine across ABM, field, digital, partner marketing and demand generation, aimed at technical users, champions, economic buyers and full buying committees. Build market leverage - Use customer evidence, partners, analysts, PR, thought leadership and major industry moments to amplify Neural Concept's position. - Strengthen partner marketing and connect it to the demand engine rather than running partnerships as isolated announcements, so customers and the ecosystem tell the company's story alongside it. Lead and develop the marketing team - Give the specialist team clear priorities, decision-making frameworks and accountability across product marketing, brand and communications, digital and marketing operations, creative, partner marketing and regional field marketing. - Stay personally involved in the highest-impact work: positioning, strategic campaigns, major launches, customer narratives and critical enterprise opportunities.
