About the role
This is a founding-team-level marketing role. You will be the first dedicated marketing hire at ZeroPhase, reporting directly to the founders.
What you'll do
Brand & corporate identity
- Define and own ZeroPhase's visual identity, corporate language, and brand positioning
- Build a scalable brand system: guidelines, templates, and assets that the entire team can apply independently
- Ensure consistency across all external touchpoints: website, decks, proposals, events, and partner materials
Content & communications
- Own the LinkedIn content strategy and execution, from regular posts to thought leadership and company announcements
- Translate complex RF, SDR, and UAV data link topics into compelling narratives for defence, government, and investor audiences
- Develop and maintain ZeroPhase's editorial tone of voice across all written communication
Website & digital presence
- Take full ownership of zerophase.de: content, structure, messaging, and ongoing improvements
- Drive SEO and discoverability for relevant defence and deep tech audiences
- Coordinate with external developers or agencies where needed for technical implementation
Sales enablement & BD support
- Produce high-quality sales collateral (one-pagers, pitch decks, capability briefs) in close collaboration with the BD team
- Support trade show presence, conference materials, and event communications
- Align marketing output with the commercial pipeline and key target accounts
What we're looking for
- 5+ years of experience in brand management, marketing, or communications, ideally in a B2B tech, deep tech, or industrial context.
- Proven track record of building or significantly evolving a brand from an early stage.
- Strong visual and editorial judgment: you can write, design, and direct agencies.
- Proficient in Figma or Adobe Creative Suite; comfortable owning a CMS (Webflow, WordPress, or similar).
- Fluent in English; German is a strong plus.
- Comfortable operating with high autonomy in an environment where structure does not yet exist.
- Genuine understanding of, or serious interest in, defence technology, dual-use hardware, or sovereign systems.
How the hiring process works
- Intro call. 30 minutes with our recruiting team. We'll learn about your background, and you'll learn about the mission.
- Deep dive. A working session with the founding team on a real brand or content challenge we're facing right now.
- Case study, in Munich. A visit to the office to walk through a positioning or campaign brief with the team, in person if you can make it or over Teams if you can't.
- The offer. By now you've likely already met our CEO. This round is where we make it official: fast, transparent, and built around the mission.
