Marketing Manager

Who We Are:
Arenko is an Energy Tech company using advanced software to optimise energy storage, making electricity grids more flexible, reliable, and zero-carbon. Our platform enables grid operators (such as National Grid in the UK) and asset owners to maximise efficiency and revenue in an evolving energy landscape.

The Role:

As Marketing Manager, you will be responsible for driving the commercial messaging and positioning of Arenko SaaS to help with its ambitious growth plans in an exciting period for the company. At its core this role oversees the creation and execution of a strategy to increase awareness of Arenko, its technology, products and its people, targeting enterprise accounts in the energy sector. 

You will shape campaigns around our end customer base and will have the opportunity to build a global brand, as Arenko builds on its reputation in the UK and enters new territories in the coming years. You will help shape the overall ethos of the Arenko brand and identity. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who has a proven track record of leading account based marketing campaigns in SaaS, either excelling in an existing marketing department of a larger organisation or already driving a growing company’s marketing function. This role is perfect for a self-starter that works well both autonomously and as part of a wider commercial team and in close collaboration with the product team.

We are commercialising the next generation of software for the energy transition. As storage and generation technology becomes more flexible, the industry needs software to match. We are changing the expensive and inflexible status quo and need your help to build a world-class commercial team. This is a great opportunity to join the rapidly growing flexibility sector at a leading energy start-up and to continue a successful career focused on a carbon free future.

What you will be doing:

• Oversee and lead the marketing strategy to create compelling content about the Arenko platform. 
• Work closely with the Account Management and Business Development teams to build comprehensive campaigns and collateral to support the wider commercial strategy.
• Develop, execute, manage and report upon account based marketing campaigns.
• Work closely with the Product team to shape the narrative about our products, articulating our strengths and USPs to the market..
• Identify market opportunities, competitor activities and go to market strategies.
• Act as a brand guardian for Arenko’s branding. 
• In cooperation with our product and engineering team, create compelling documentation and collateral for use with customers, investors, and the broader public.
• Develop and own relationships with external suppliers, events and agencies as necessary.
• Keep pace with a rapidly growing start-up!
• Own communications, including working closely with our external PR firm to ensure our accomplishments are communicated effectively to the public and supporting ongoing development of the Arenko website.
  
  

What we are looking for:

• 7 years’ experience within a marketing department or agency for SaaS
• Must have strong B2B marketing experience 
• Must have experience of working within or with the UK energy sector - a working understanding of utility scale energy businesses and the sector is highly desirable.
• Experience working in cross-functional teams with designers, product professionals and engineers 

Skills and abilities:

• Very strong organisational and time management skills including the ability to successfully prioritise and manage multiple urgent tasks on tight timelines
• Excellent communication skills both verbal and written
• Proficient with Microsoft Office (in particular Excel and Power Point) and Google stack
• Must be a self starter, keen to add value wherever possible
• Team player who is able to get stuck in where needed

Our Hiring Process:

1. Intro Call: Informal chat with Talent team.
2. 1st Round interview: Intro call with hiring manager and a member of the team
3. Final Interview (Presentation):  Presentation with a member of product, commercial & SLT

So what’s in it for you? 

Hopefully the first thing is you love what we do and want to be part of the mission but let’s be honest…that’s probably not why you’re getting up to work everyday.

We know that rewarding our employees is the best way to make them feel valued. This is a journey we’d love you to take with us and as we grow we look forward to finding more ways to reward and thank you for your commitment to our mission. We currently offer the following benefits with more to come in future; 

• 25 days holidays in addition to public holidays, carry over flex and festive office closure (a pretty decent annual leave allowance even if we do say so ourselves!)
• A genuine approach to flexible working - the vast majority of our employees spend at least a day or 2 each week in the office but we’re open to making this work for everyone, their personal circumstances and their workloads
• Enhanced parental leave offerings with 6 months of full salary for the primary caregiver and 1 month for the secondary caregiver
• A yearly salary review for all employees
• We are proud to support the continuous professional growth of our employees by providing a personal annual learning and development budget and fully covering the costs of professional membership fees and subscriptions relevant to your role
• Access to MindTools on us
• Bike to Work Scheme (because it wouldn’t be very on brand if we didn’t encourage you to think about how your travel affects the environment)
• Octopus EV Scheme (see above!) 
• A commitment to your wellbeing, with access to our Employee Assistance Programme and complimentary eye tests in partnership with Specsavers
• Internal working groups to focus on the things that matter to you like our “Women of Arenko”, “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” and “Parents of Arenko” groups
• As part of our DEI efforts, we are currently in partnership with MotherBoard which enable us to be committed to improving the working lives of parents at Arenko
• Regular opportunities to blow off some steam engage with our team, including quarterly socials, the big Festive Gathering and the Summer Party. We’re also working on our wellness initiatives to support your Physical, social, mental and financial wellbeing. 

Here at Arenko, we want every employee and candidate to feel valued, comfortable, and able to be their own free self at work. Together, we are committed to building a diverse and inclusive culture that encourages, supports, and empowers the authentic voices of all our employees. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, colour, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age or any other aspect that makes you unique.
