Sr. Marketing Manager

About Axy

Axy is transforming how science advances by reimagining collaboration tools for researchers. We're building AI-powered platforms that help scientists discover, connect, and collaborate more effectively - from conferences to everyday research activities.

Made by scientists, for scientists - our founding team combines deep scientific expertise (PhD in Neuroscience) with proven entrepreneurial success. We're winners of VentureKick Stage 3 , Switzerland's premier startup accelerator, and we're backed by a mission to accelerate scientific progress globally.

We're at an exciting inflection point : our products are live, early traction is strong, and we're ready to scale. Now we need a marketing leader to help us reach millions of researchers worldwide.

The Opportunity

We're hiring our first marketing hire - a Senior Marketing Manager who will build and own Axy's entire marketing function from the ground up. This is a rare opportunity to shape marketing strategy across two distinct products serving the global scientific community :

B2B Product : Experience platform for scientific conferences

B2C Product : Consumer app for researchers and academic communities

You'll start as a hands-on executor, building strategies and running campaigns yourself. As we grow, you'll hire and lead a team, with potential to grow into leadership roles as the company scales.

This role is perfect for someone who gets excited about :

Building marketing from zero to one

Wearing multiple hats (strategist, executor, analyst, storyteller)

Working with a mission-driven product that genuinely helps people

The challenge of marketing to both enterprises AND consumers

Build sales enablement assets (case studies, decks, messaging) for our B2B product

Set up marketing infrastructure : website optimization, analytics, email marketing, ad platforms

Create content that resonates with researchers and scientific organizations

Run experiments across channels to find product-market-channel fit

In Your First Year Own and hit growth targets for both products (users, pipeline, revenue influence)

Build repeatable acquisition channels and growth loops

Establish Axy as a recognized brand in the scientific community

Launch and optimize performance marketing campaigns

Create viral mechanics and referral programs for B2C growth

Support sales team with ABM campaigns and demand generation for B2B

Begin hiring your first team members as we scale

As You Grow Build and lead the marketing team (growth, content, design, demand gen)

Shape company-wide go-to-market strategy

Own brand positioning and messaging across all products

Scale marketing operations to reach millions of researchers globally

Grow into a leadership role (potential path to CMO as company scales)
