About the role
Dayshape is a single-product company that’s grown rapidly from start-up to scale-up. We are a unique, powerful platform, but our space is becoming increasingly competitive, and we need to stay in pole position.
As we develop the product, partner with other solutions such as Workday and Microsoft, and move into new verticals, marketing is critical to support our growth. You’ll collaborate with Sales, Commercial Operations and the wider marketing team to identify key accounts, craft tailored marketing programmes and accelerate pipeline velocity across key enterprise segments.
Having already started an ABM programme that’s showing early signs of success, we’re excited to create a new position to make this a permanent pillar of our marketing strategy.
This is a hands-on role responsible for defining what ABM looks like at Dayshape as we scale into new lines of business and geographies within our existing and prospective customer base in the professional services sector. You will help develop and execute the product marketing plan and activities that enable our key target accounts to understand Dayshape's USPs and inspire them to buy. In doing so, you will contribute to the overall achievement of the marketing team’s objectives and, ultimately, Dayshape’s pipeline growth.
Your day-to-day could look like any mix of; aligning with Sales on key target accounts and lead/deal progression, reviewing campaign performance to identify engagement gaps or opportunities, creating personalised messaging or landing pages for a 1:few campaign, briefing the content or design team, and optimising LinkedIn ad campaigns – all while juggling fast-moving priorities and staying focused on driving revenue impact from high-value accounts.

Sales enablement: Develop account playbooks and sales enablement materials to drive follow-up success.
Technology & operations: Develop and own the ABM tech stack, integrating and optimising marketing automation through HubSpot. Ensure campaign tracking and reporting infrastructure is set up to measure performance by account and programme/campaign type.
Marketing performance analysis: Monitor and report on product marketing initiatives, and make recommendations for improvement.
Act as a brand guardian, ensuring all material/collateral remains on brand and with consistent messaging.
Budget and agency management where required.
Supporting the wider marketing team on other activity as required.

Working Details
This is a full-time role (37.5 hours per week). We typically work from 09:00 - 17:30 from Monday to Friday, though we can be flexible around this, just let us know.
We’re ideally looking for someone in/around Edinburgh, though we’re open to the possibility of this being a remote role (as long as you're in the UK). We're making the most of hybrid working, so you won't need to come into the office everyday (unless you want to!).
We don't mandate required office time, but we find that most of the team enjoy working from home 2-3 days a week, and come into our office to connect with each other, make use of space, and for meetings.
Join the team!
Equality of opportunity is more than just a responsibility: we believe it’s a huge advantage to welcome a variety of experiences and perspectives into the team. Diversity is a great asset and, as such, we strongly encourage applications from any background.
This is your opportunity to really influence how we get things done, and develop our account based marketing strategy further. We're doing well, but there's lots more to do in order to maintain the high bar and pace that we've set.
Everyone here is growing personally as the company grows, so if that sounds like something you’d like to be part of, we’d love to see your application. The deadline for applications is Wednesday 1st October at 12pm. Interviews will take place shortly after the closing date.
Please note the successful candidate for this role may be subject to background checks and will have an opportunity to declare anything to us beforehand
