Vice President Marketing

About EMDYN: Seeing clearly, when it matters most. EMDYN fuses satellite imagery, signals and open-source data into a single picture an analyst can act on in minutes, not days. Our platform, Phalanx, is built for sovereignty: it gives defence and critical infrastructure organisations clear answers and full control of their data, with no dependence on any single vendor. We are a growing team of engineers, data scientists and intelligence specialists working across Switzerland, Belgium, England and Portugal. Small enough that your ideas ship in weeks, not years. Serious enough that what you build genuinely matters. If you want to work at the edge of geospatial technology, with people who care about getting it right, we want to meet you. Role overview: Tell the story of how the world sees clearly. Around the world, governments and critical infrastructure operators want control over their most sensitive data and the decisions built on it. The race to define sovereign data intelligence is on, and the window to lead that category is open now. As VP of Marketing, you will make sure that when a defence ministry, security agency or critical infrastructure operator anywhere in the world thinks of trusted, sovereign data fusion, they think of EMDYN. Reporting to our CCO, you will lead our global marketing function and team, own the marketing budget, and be accountable for building pipeline across all our markets. Working hand in hand with our sales and pre-sales teams, you will turn powerful technology into a clear, credible story, and turn that story into conversations that lead to deals. You will also shape how EMDYN speaks as a company, from product messaging to executive communications What you will do:
