US MARKETING MANAGER
RETIRE THE ERP
Light exists to replace factory-era ERPs with software that feels alive. Our Smart Financial Platform gives modern, global companies superpowers - automated accounting, real-time reporting, and financial flows that move at the speed of the business.
We build with our customers, ship fast, and obsess over craft. In a short time, Light has gone from idea to the operating core for leading companies like Lovable, Legora, and Fuse Energy.
We're an early team defining a new software category. Think engineers who love debits and credits, designers who care about reconciliation states, and operators who treat finance as a product. If you're excited to modernise how companies run money, you're in the right place.
Backed by world-class investors including Balderton and Atomico and advised by industry titans, we're building category-defining products with the freedom to ship ambitiously and own outcomes. Come help us make Light the global default for next-gen finance.
FINANCE DESERVES BETTER
Finance teams at fast-growing companies run global, real-time businesses on legacy ERPs and a roster of point solutions taped together.
Light gives them a way out.
Why run ten tools when one robust system can do the job? We build the finance solution that lets finance teams have it all, through three parts that work as one:
- Our ledger records every transaction across every entity in real time, so the numbers hold up from day one.
- Our apps adapt Light to how each business runs, from procurement to billing to reporting.
- Our agents operate the repetitive work that used to need another hire, so finance teams spend their time on the decisions that matter.
Light started life in Copenhagen, made London its HQ and has global ambition. We believe we have the product and the team to transform the finance function the world over. Today we run it for companies like Lovable, Legora and Keyshot, with backing from Atomico, Balderton, Seedcamp, Cherry and Entrée.
THE ROLE
We're looking for a US Marketing Manager to make Light the default finance platform for scaling companies across the United States. This is one of our first US roles, and you'll join alongside our US Sales Lead. The two of you will work side by side to build Light's brand and presence in the market, with the team in Europe a Slack message away.
The good news is you won't start from scratch. Many of our customers already run on Light in the US, from US-headquartered companies to European businesses with American operations. A network of accounting partners extends our reach, and our hackathons earlier this year, hosted with the likes of McKinsey and J.P. Morgan across the country, gave us a pulse in the market. Now, come on in and harness the the opportunity.
THE TEAM YOU'LL JOIN
You'll join a small, ambitious marketing team of field marketers across Europe, product marketers, a designer, a videographer and a central growth team running demand generation in every market.
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
- Building and running the US marketing plan with our US Sales Lead, with pipeline targets you share.
- Running a field and events programme across the cities that matter to US finance leaders, from intimate CFO dinners to flagship moments people talk about for months.
- Growing our network of accounting partners, along with the advisors, investors and communities that US finance leaders trust.
- Localising our story, content and campaigns for American finance teams, and turning US customer stories into content people want to share.
- Working with our central growth team to test and scale digital demand generation in the US.
- Building relationships with US press and the people who shape the tech and finance conversation.
WHAT WE THINK* YOU'LL NEED
- Enough years in the seat to know what works at a fast-growing company, ideally because you've built the ground game for a scaling B2B SaaS business in the US before.
- A track record across field, events, partnerships and…
