About Us

At Rocket SaaS, we’re redefining what a B2B marketing agency should be. We partner with ambitious SaaS companies as an extension of their team, building end-to-end demand generation strategies that drive predictable growth. We value curiosity over convention, ownership over process, and collaboration over silos. Nothing is off the table if it helps our clients grow. You’ll have the freedom to test ideas, shape strategy and work alongside talented specialists who genuinely care about doing great work.

Since launching, we’ve become one of the UK’s fastest-growing SaaS marketing agencies. We’ve grown organically through client referrals, long-term partnerships and a reputation for delivering measurable results.

If you’re looking for a role where your ideas will shape strategy, your work will have a measurable impact, and you’ll help shape the growth of some of the most exciting SaaS companies, we’d love to hear from you.

The Role

We’re looking for a Marketing Account Director with expertise in creating comprehensive demand gen strategies across campaigns, landing pages, content, and ads. You will be responsible for developing and overseeing the success of marketing strategies for multiple SaaS clients.

As a Marketing Account Director, you'll be the strategic brain behind each account and you’ll work hands-on with your own dedicated team to bring it to life. You will be shaping the growth stories of ambitious SaaS companies, consulting senior stakeholders and building your marketing expertise across a portfolio of clients.

You'll own the strategy:

Diagnose each client's growth blockers and build a comprehensive marketing strategy to solve them

Run market research and competitor analysis to find the angles others miss

Define ideal customer profiles, targeting, and audience segmentation

Set the content pillars that anchor each client's voice and authority

Build creative campaigns to generate results aligned to client KPIs

You'll drive the execution:

Map ad strategies across Google, LinkedIn, and Meta Ads with the support of dedicated paid media specialists

Write ad copy and creative briefs that turn into high-converting campaigns

Dream up lead magnet campaigns that convert and excite your client’s target market

Brief website optimisations and landing pages that convert

You'll lead a team:

Manage your own squad: Marketing Exec, Ads Manager, Designer, and Developer, plus external creators as needed

Run regular internal and client meetings, keeping everyone aligned and momentum high

You’ll report to the Director of Marketing, who will support you in driving client success, while working closely with the Director of Strategy to develop and deliver high-impact growth strategies.

What you’ll bring:

Experience working for a SaaS/Tech client or agency

At least 5 years of experience in B2B marketing

Experience managing senior stakeholders' roles. You’ll build trust with clients and guide their decisions, not just take their briefs

Experience managing LinkedIn ad campaigns

Proven experience managing successful content marketing campaigns

A mind that's equal parts creative and strategic

Excellent communication and project management skills, with the ability to juggle multiple accounts confidently

Experience reporting on the success of marketing campaigns, using data to tell a compelling narrative

Why you’ll love it at Rocket SaaS

Work your way: Fully remote within South Africa

Real career growth: we're on a mission to scale, and we promote from within

Real impact: your strategies directly shape the growth of ambitious SaaS brands

A culture people enjoy being part of: quarterly staff parties and a monthly team quiz with cash prizes

Ready to join?

If you're ready to own the growth strategy for a portfolio of exciting SaaS brands and want to join a company that embraces people and their ideas, we'd love to hear from you.
