Marketing Manager (Maternity Cover - 6+ Months FTC)

About Us

We are a mission-driven accessibility start-up dedicated to transforming how neurodivergent individuals navigate their educational and professional journeys. 

Since launching our first product, Present Pal, back in 2018, Estendio has empowered students across over 150 universities in the UK and US to excel in their presentations and communication skills. Building on this success, we recently launched our second product, Tailo, an AI-powered reading platform designed to create a tailored reading experience for every mind.

Our vision is to make inclusivity the standard, not the exception. If you’re ready to join a brillian team committed to levvelling the playing field through tech for good, we’d love to hear from you.

About the Role

This is a 6-month contract role sitting at the intersection of B2B and B2C marketing, joining the team at an exciting moment as we take Bifrost to market in the US. Bifrost is Estendio's newest product - an AI-powered document accessibility solution built for higher education.

B2B is the immediate priority: you'll work alongside our Chief Commercial Officer and Head of Commercial on Bifrost outreach, research sprints with US university teams, and the content and messaging that supports conversations with CIOs and Academic Technology leads.

As our product direction develops, the role may flex - either deepening the B2B focus or supporting B2C marketing execution marketing our other product Tailo, alongside our Senior Marketing Lead. Either way, you'll be working in a fast-moving, early-stage environment where adaptability matters as much as craft.

• Plan and run paid research sprints (Respondent, Prolific) with accessibility teams, instructional designers, and academic technology leads

About You

Experience & Background

• 3–5 years of marketing experience, ideally in SaaS, EdTech, or a mission-driven startup

• Solid B2B marketing experience - you've done cold outreach, demand generation, or B2B content and know how to write for senior business audiences

• Comfortable with B2C execution too - campaigns, content, growth, social

• Hands-on with marketing automation tools - Lemlist, HubSpot, Apollo, or similar

• Familiarity with LinkedIn Sales Navigator or equivalent prospecting tools

Skills & Competencies

• Adaptable - you can shift focus when priorities change without losing execution quality

• Data-driven - you track what works, drop what doesn't, and iterate fast

• Resilient when experiments don't land - you'll run outreach sequences and campaigns that might not work. You treat failed experiments as useful data, adjust quickly, and don't let setbacks slow execution

• Collaborative - you work closely with commercial and product, not in isolation

• Curiosity about the user - you genuinely want to understand accessibility teams and what they need, not just execute

Nice to have

• Familiarity with the US higher education market
