Head of Marketing & Community

ChurchDesk is the leading technology partner for churches in Europe. We help thousands of parishes move from paper, spreadsheets, and disconnected tools into a single platform that supports their day-to-day work and their relationship with members. We're a vertical SaaS company that grows on the back of trust — churches choose us because we understand them, show up for them, and meet them where they are on their digitization journey.

About your new role

We're hiring a Head of Marketing & Community to build the next chapter of growth at ChurchDesk. You will own the marketing function end-to-end — brand, positioning, content, product marketing, community, and events — and sit on the leadership team. You'll partner closely with Revenue and Product to translate what we do into a story churches trust, and then scale how we tell it.

This is a builder's seat. You inherit a small, capable team of three and a strong foundation, with the mandate to shape the strategy, the team, and the tooling that take us to the next level.

What you’ll own

• Marketing strategy — the multi-year plan: how we grow, in which markets, and through which motions.

• Brand & positioning — how a church recognises ChurchDesk as a partner, not a vendor.

• Content & thought leadership — building trust at scale through editorial, storytelling, and a consistent voice across markets.

• Product marketing — launches, messaging, competitive positioning, and sales enablement, in lockstep with Product.

• Community & events — webinars, newsletters, on-site events across our markets, led through your two specialists.

• Pipeline contribution — defining and delivering marketing's contribution to revenue, jointly with the Revenue team.

• Team — coach and grow the existing team; selectively expand as the business scales.

• Budget, vendors & martech — accountability for spend and the systems that measure it.

  
  

What we’re looking for

Must-have:

• A curious mindset that wants to get to know our customers, their opportunities and challenges.

• +5 years of marketing experience, including +3 years leading a team in B2B SaaS.

• Demonstrable track record of building brand and category awareness in a trust-driven, considered-purchase market.

• Strong product marketing chops — you've shipped positioning, messaging, and launches that landed, and you partner naturally with Product.

• Evidence of building marketing as a growth function alongside Sales/Revenue — you've owned a number and a narrative at the same time.

• A strong writer and editor who sets the bar for the team's voice

• Experience managing a distributed team across countries.

• You communicate clearly and confidently in English. An additional language such as: Danish, Norwegian or German is a plus.

Nice to have:

• Vertical SaaS experience, or experience marketing to a mission-driven community (nonprofits, faith, education, healthcare, public sector).

• Worked at a company in the roughly €5M–€20M ARR range and helped it scale.

• Comfortable in markets where the buyer is atypical — slower cycles, trust over features, brand carries weight.

• European multi-market go-to-market experience, especially DACH and the Nordics.

Your preferred way of working:

• You lead with respect for what makes our customers' work meaningful. Churches are an institution to support, not a vertical to extract from.

• You're a clear thinker and an even clearer writer.

• You're hands-on enough to set the standard, and disciplined enough to scale through your team.

• You hold two truths at once: brand takes time, and we still have to hit a number this quarter.

What We Offer

• You'll work on something that matters, with people who care, in a category where great marketing is still a rare advantage. The buyers are thoughtful, the mission is real, and there's room to build something distinctive.

• An open, warm work environment – you’re not just a number, but a valued part of the team.

• Beautiful, modern office space in Copenhagen – central, vibrant, and well connected.

• Fancy a change of scenery? Come visit us in Berlin! We’ll cover all your travel and expenses so you can work alongside the team and soak up the local Berlin vibe

• 30 days of vacation – because rest matters.

• A transparent and supportive feedback culture – grow together, learn from each other, and communicate openly.

• Unforgettable team experiences – from company events to trips like sailing in Croatia, ski trips, and visits to our Copenhagen office.
