Role guide

Marketing jobs at European startups

Marketing roles build demand and tell the company's story: content, brand, growth and the channels that bring the right people in. At startups it spans strategy and hands-on execution.

Marketing roles build demand and tell a startup's story. Depending on the company that means content, brand, product marketing, performance and growth, or all of them at once when you are an early hire. The job spans strategy and hands-on execution, and at a startup you usually own both.

What separates strong startup marketers is the mix of creativity and measurement: a sense for the story plus the discipline to track whether it actually brought the right people in. The earlier you join, the more you define how the company is understood.

Frequently asked

What does a startup Marketing role involve?

Building demand and shaping how the company is understood: content, brand, product marketing, performance and growth channels. Early hires are generalists across all of it; later roles specialise into one area.

What is the difference between growth and brand marketing?

Growth marketing is measurable and channel-driven, focused on acquiring and converting users. Brand marketing builds how the company is perceived over the longer term. Startups need both, and early marketers often juggle the two.

What background do startup marketing roles want?

A blend of creative and analytical skill: you can craft a message and also read the numbers behind a campaign. Backgrounds range from content and comms to performance and product marketing.

What is product marketing?

Product marketing connects the product to the market: positioning, messaging, launches, and arming sales with the right story. It sits between product, marketing and sales, and is a common high-leverage startup role.
