ABOUT THE ROLE The Marketing Manager/Lead is Hampr's first dedicated marketing leadership hire, responsible for building and running a fit-for-purpose marketing function from the ground up.

You'll be the single point of accountability for marketing at Hampr, working closely with Sales and the Co-founders to ensure marketing activity translates directly into qualified pipeline and business growth.
