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 Manager with experience project-managing and executing successful marketing strategies in a fast-paced environment. You will be responsible for a broad range of activity for multiple SaaS clients, including, but not limited to: crafting compelling content, managing social campaigns, communicating with senior stakeholders, running email marketing campaigns and project management in Asana. This role reports into a Marketing Account Director, who you’ll work closely to create bespoke campaigns and strategies. There will be a mixture of hands-on work and collaboration with a team of in-house and external resources. This role offers clear progression into either a Senior Marketing Manager position or a Marketing Account Director role, where you’ll take full ownership of campaign strategy and delivery.

What you will do:

Run market research and competitor analysis for our clients, digging into their market and competitors’ messaging

Help define each client’s ideal customer profile, building a clear picture of who we are targeting and why

Work alongside your Marketing Account Director to shape client strategy: you will contribute ideas, own your pieces of the plan and see how senior strategists think up close

Craft short and long-form content, including email campaigns, social posts, video, blogs, landing pages and thought-leadership, keeping every piece on-message and on-deadline

Write clear creative briefs for landing pages and ads, and work with our Design Team through feedback rounds to get them right

Partner with our Development Team to deliver landing pages and get websites built, tested and live

Keeping all projects on track and highly organised, you're the one who always knows what's due, what's blocked, and what's next

Managing regular internal and client meetings: Help run internal and client meetings by preparing agendas, capturing actions, and making sure follow-ups actually happen

Key skills/experience:

You thrive in a fast-paced environment, confidently managing multiple projects and priorities without compromising quality.

You are highly organised and dependable, consistently meeting deadlines and helping keep projects and teammates on track.

You are a collaborative team player, happy to roll up your sleeves, take ownership, and support colleagues wherever needed.

You are proactive and eager to learn, quickly picking up new skills, tools, and ways of working.

You are passionate about B2B marketing, with a genuine ambition to build a long-term career and become an expert in your field.

You have a growth mindset, actively seeking feedback and continuously looking for ways to improve both your own performance and client outcomes.
