Senior Marketing Manager

We’re looking for a full-time marketing team manager to help build and shape the marketing function at Algorithmiq. The role is primarily UK-based, but we offer flexibility in terms of location.

About us
Algorithmiq is a global quantum computing software company headquartered in Milan, Italy, with an international team representing over 20 nationalities. Our multidisciplinary, collaborative approach drives everything we do.

Our mission is to program quantum computers to solve the world’s hardest problems and build the software that will unlock the practical value of quantum computing. We have strategic partnerships with world-leading teams at IBM, Microsoft, Rigetti and Cleveland Clinic, as well as renowned research institutions, to tackle some of the most important challenges faced by our clients.

Our work spans applications from chemistry and materials discovery to optimisation and life sciences, helping bring practical quantum advantage closer to reality. Our recent achievements include being the sole winner of the $2 million Wellcome Leap Q4Bio programme with our partners Cleveland Clinic and IBM, launching commercially available quantum software through IBM’s Qiskit Functions Catalog, and advancing quantum-enabled drug discovery applications with leading pharmaceutical and healthcare partners. We also launched the Quantum Advantage Tracker, a global initiative promoting transparent and rigorous evaluation of quantum advantage and helping shape the future of the quantum computing industry.

We have built a culture we love and are proud of. We’re a hard-working team with a friendly, close-knit and transparent environment where trust underpins everything we do. As we scale, we’re committed to keeping this culture and our values at the heart of every decision we make.

Who are we looking for?
We are looking for our first full-time Marketing team member — someone excited by the opportunity to build and shape the marketing function of one of the most forward-thinking companies in quantum software.
This is a unique opportunity to define how Algorithmiq presents itself to the world. You will help shape our brand, tell compelling stories about our technology and impact, and position Algorithmiq as the company where the promise of quantum computing becomes practical reality.

Working closely with our leadership, Business and R&D teams, you will translate highly technical and scientific work into clear, engaging narratives for customers, partners, investors, media and the broader technology ecosystem.

This is a role for someone who enjoys both thinking and doing. You will help define our marketing strategy while being equally comfortable rolling up your sleeves to create content, prepare for an industry event or work with our technical teams to bring a new product story to life.

You don’t need to be a quantum computing expert on day one. You do need to be intellectually curious, comfortable learning complex concepts, fearless in your creativity and excited by the opportunity to make your mark in an emerging technology category.

What you’ll be doing
As our first dedicated marketing hire, you will have significant ownership over how the Marketing function develops as Algorithmiq scales.

Marketing strategy & growth

• Build and execute Algorithmiq’s marketing strategy in close collaboration with the leadership and Business teams, identifying the channels and initiatives that can have the greatest impact.
• Translate company and commercial priorities into focused marketing plans, campaigns and measurable objectives.
• Identify and test opportunities to grow awareness, engagement and demand across our priority audiences and markets.
• Establish the foundations of a scalable Marketing function, including processes, tools, metrics and ways of working.
• Support Algorithmiq to grow its presence beyond the boundaries of the ‘quantum field’

Brand, positioning & storytelling

• Own and evolve Algorithmiq’s brand positioning, messaging and tone of voice, ensuring a consistent and distinctive identity across channels.
• Support Algorithmiq in expanding its presence, brand awareness and visibility beyond the quantum computing ecosystem.
• Develop compelling narratives that communicate our technology, products and scientific breakthroughs to technical and non-technical audiences (including contributing to our fundraise pitch)
• Work with internal stakeholders and external creative partners to produce high-quality visual and written materials.
• Help establish Algorithmiq and its founders as recognised voices in quantum computing, deeptech and the industries we serve.
• Support the Head of People define a compelling and attractive Employer brand as talent is our greatest asset.

Content, communications & thought leadership

• Own our content calendar and develop high-quality content across our website, social media, thought leadership, newsletters, presentations, case studies and other channels.
• Identify stories across the company and turn scientific, technical and commercial developments into engaging external communications.
• Support PR activities, including company announcements, product launches, partnerships, scientific milestones and media opportunities.
• Develop founder and leadership profiling opportunities through thought leadership, speaking opportunities and targeted content.

Product & commercial marketing

• Work closely with our Business and R&D teams to develop clear positioning and messaging for Algorithmiq’s products and capabilities.
• Build product marketing materials that help customers understand both the technical differentiation and practical value of our technology.
• Support go-to-market initiatives across strategic sectors, including pharmaceuticals, life sciences and other emerging application areas.
• Create sales enablement materials, customer stories, case studies and presentations that support commercial conversations.

Events & ecosystem

• Help identify the conferences, industry events and ecosystem opportunities where Algorithmiq should have a presence.
• Coordinate marketing activities around key events, partnerships and product milestones to maximise their impact.
• Help build and scale processes for how we approach which events to go to, ensuring the right employees attend and are well prepared with the right materials to convey our key messages.

You are someone who

• Has 5-8 years of hands-on marketing experience, ideally within technology, deeptech, B2B software or another complex industry.
• Has experience across several areas of marketing, such as brand, content, product marketing, communications, employer branding, growth or digital marketing.
• Is an excellent storyteller and communicator, with the ability to turn complex ideas into clear and compelling narratives.
• Combines strategic thinking with a strong bias towards execution — you are equally comfortable developing a marketing plan and producing the work required to deliver it.
• Takes ownership and can operate independently without needing a large team or established playbook around you.
• Is intellectually curious and enjoys working closely with scientists, engineers and technical experts.
• Has strong project management skills and can manage multiple initiatives, stakeholders and external partners simultaneously.
• Is comfortable experimenting, learning quickly and adapting based on what works.
• Understands that good marketing should ultimately contribute to company objectives and is comfortable defining and tracking meaningful metrics.
• Thrives in a fast-moving environment where priorities may evolve and there is significant opportunity to shape how things are done.

Nice to have

• Experience in deeptech, AI, quantum computing, life sciences, healthcare, scientific software or another STEM-related industry.
• Experience marketing technical B2B products to enterprise customers.
• Experience with product marketing and go-to-market strategy.
• Experience working with PR agencies, designers and other external creative partners.
• Experience building or being an early member of a Marketing function within a startup or scale-up.
• An existing understanding of the quantum computing ecosystem — although enthusiasm and the ability to learn quickly are more important.

What success looks like
As our first full-time marketing hire, you will have the opportunity to establish the foundations for how Marketing operates at Algorithmiq.

Success means Algorithmiq has a clear and differentiated position in the market, a consistent and recognisable brand, and a strong external narrative that communicates why our technology matters.

You will have built a focused marketing strategy aligned with company and commercial priorities; established a consistent rhythm of high-quality content and communications; strengthened the profiles of Algorithmiq and its leadership; developed product marketing and sales enablement materials that support our Business team; and introduced clear processes fit for scaling and metrics that allow us to understand what is working and where to focus next.

Most importantly, you will help ensure that as Algorithmiq’s technology, partnerships and commercial traction grow, our visibility and reputation grow with them.
