Interim VP Marketing in London

Fixed-Term Contract with a mid-September 2026 start. Salary: £135,000 – £180,000 (pro‑rated for contract duration) + bonus. Contract: Approximately 10 months to June/July 2027. Location: Hybrid – 2 days per week in our London office. Reports to: CEO.

At Attest, we help the world's most ambitious brands make confident decisions through consumer research. We are on a mission to bring every business closer to consumers — empowering them with the insights that drive predictable, repeatable growth.

We are looking for an experienced VP of Marketing to join us on a maternity cover contract, stepping in for our Director of Marketing as she goes on leave in early October. You will lead our marketing function during a pivotal period — one in which we are deepening our AI transformation, sharpening our growth engine, and evolving what great B2B SaaS marketing looks like at the $20–40M ARR stage. You will report into the CEO and sit on the Executive Leadership Team, working cross‑functionally with Sales, Product, and Customer Success to drive pipeline, brand, and demand.

What you’ll be responsible for:

• Growth Marketing Leadership: Own and evolve our demand generation strategy across paid, organic, email, and lifecycle marketing — with a clear focus on pipeline and revenue contribution. Drive acquisition across our core ICP segments — B2B enterprise buyers with contract values in the $100k range. Use data to make fast, confident decisions on channel mix, spend allocation, and performance optimisation. Continue building our AI‑powered marketing workflows — automating repetitive work, accelerating content, and scaling experimentation. Partner closely with Sales and Customer Success to tighten the marketing‑to‑revenue loop.
• Team Leadership: Growth Marketing – your core focus and priority area for uplift. Product Marketing. Brand & Content Marketing.
• AI Transformation: Champion and embed AI tools across the team – from content creation to campaign optimisation. Identify where AI can remove bottlenecks and unlock higher‑leverage activity. Help build a culture of experimentation and continuous improvement around new technology.
• Brand & Strategic Direction: Maintain quality and consistency across all marketing output. Contribute to and evolve our brand positioning in a competitive market. Ensure product marketing narratives, growth campaigns, and brand expression are well‑aligned.
• Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Partner with Sales leadership to align on pipeline targets, campaign strategy, and account‑based initiatives. Work with Product and Customer Success to build compelling product launch and expansion narratives. Report into the CEO and Exec with clear, data‑driven marketing performance updates.

This is a cover role with a fixed start date, so we are specifically looking for someone who can hit the ground running — no long ramp required.

What we’re looking for:

• Have operated at VP level in a B2B SaaS business, ideally in the $20–40M ARR range.
• Have direct experience with enterprise contract values in the $50–100k range. You understand how marketing supports longer, more complex sales cycles.
• Be fundamentally a growth and performance marketer at heart — data‑driven, pipeline‑obsessed, and comfortable with paid, lifecycle, and demand gen levers.
• Be a strong people manager who has led cross‑functional marketing teams, ideally across multiple geographies.
• Have real experience driving AI transformation in a marketing team; not just awareness, but hands‑on adoption.
• Bring a sharp eye for brand — you know what great looks like, even if you're not executing it yourself.
• Be comfortable stepping into an established function quickly, building trust fast, and providing confident, decisive leadership.
• Bring strong cross‑functional influencing skills — able to work closely with Sales, Product, and the exec team.

Why this role matters: This isn’t a seat‑warmer role. You’ll be stepping into a genuinely exciting moment for Attest. We are growing, we are transforming, and marketing has a real seat at the table. You’ll ensure our growth engine doesn't miss a beat during this period. You’ll give the team the leadership, challenge, and support they need to keep performing. And you’ll leave the function in better shape than you found it.

Our benefits:

• 25 days holiday per year plus additional festive days (pro‑rated for fixed‑term contracts).
• £240 yearly L&D budget, plus access to a larger budget for qualifications and courses.
• Private Medical Insurance.
• 1 day per quarter to do charity or community work.
• Enhanced parental leave.

We want to give everyone the opportunity to showcase their best selves during the interview process and beyond. Do let us know if there are any adjustments you’d like to make to ensure it’s more inclusive – we’re learning too, so we’re more than happy to adapt and accommodate where possible.

Please note that we’re unfortunately not able to offer visa sponsorship for this role.
