Marketing Lead

Company description

KeyNest is a fast-growing technology company with offices in Paris and London, although most of our team works remotely. We’re best known for our convenient Airbnb key holding service which welcomes millions of guests every year, but we have an innovative product line spanning hardware, software, and services, which are sold to B2B and B2C customers across 18 countries and a dozen industries.

Marketing Lead

We are looking for an ambitious, committed Marketing Lead to identify the marketing opportunities with the highest potential. You’ll have to quickly grasp how prospects perceive their needs and position our product or service accordingly, across multiple KeyNest offerings, target industries, and geographies. You will work alongside our digital marketing manager, who will support you with the technical implementation of campaigns.

You’ll be working closely with both of founders, and we are keen to give you space to be creative whilst we share our knowledge of our target industries. We don’t hesitate to promote and reward high-achieving individuals and provide you the tools needed to realise you full potential. We believe that high job satisfaction leads to high performance, and we are proud of our very low staff turnover rate.

We are more interested in you than your location. Hybrid working options are available out of our London and Paris offices. Fully remote working is also possible from any European time zone, but you should be able to come to London office for at least one week during the first month.
