Neither option is good. The Frankenstack breaks. The ERP weighs you down with implementation fees and consultants. There has to be a better, more AI native way.\nThere is. It's Light.\nLight is building an AI-native financial platform for modern companies. Fast to implement, intuitive to use, and designed to get smarter over time. We call it organic software.\nCompanies like Legora, Lovable, and Fuse Energy already run on Light. Following our $30M Series A last year, we're building the team that will make Light the default finance platform for the next generation of businesses.\nWhy DACH, why now.\nTo win Europe, you have to win DACH. We know this. That's why we're making our first dedicated hire for the region and treating it as a must-win market. You won't be a satellite of a global team running templated playbooks. You'll be a builder. The person who decides what Light looks and feels like in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.\nWhat you'll be doing.\nBuilding Light's presence in DACH from the ground up, shaping our GTM strategy, and becoming one of the defining faces of the region. If you'd rather set the direction than follow it, this is your gig.\n\nOwning the full DACH events calendar. Finhack hackathons, third-party sponsorships, roundtables. From concept to follow-up, you run it.\n\nManaging the regional budget, knowing where to spend and where to hold back.\n\nWorking with our brand team on everything from regional messaging and localisation to experiential campaigns that cut through in a market full of noise.\n\nBringing on-the-ground market data back to your VP Marketing and Growth Lead to sharpen paid activity, targeting, and messaging across the region.\n\nDriving regional pipeline, working across events, campaigns, and community to build a consistent flow of qualified opportunities for the sales team.\n\nPartnering with RevOps to keep pipeline clean, prospects moving, and nothing falling through the cracks between marketing and sales.\n\nEnabling the sales team with the collateral, messaging, and market context they need to win in DACH.\n\nBuilding community, not just pipeline. You'll build relationships with press, analysts, and partners, but the bigger goal is an ecosystem of likeminded changemakers around a product that's transforming the finance function.\n\nWhat we think you'll need.*\nMeaningful experience in field or regional marketing at a B2B SaaS company, ideally one that was building out international presence from a non-DACH HQ.\n\nNative-level German fluency. You can write the copy, run the room, and build the relationships.\n\nA real track record running field marketing and events from start to finish..\n\nThe ability to work across Sales, RevOps, and brand without losing momentum or creating friction. You know how to get things done in a cross-functional team.\n\nGenuine enthusiasm for AI tooling, not just comfort with it. We're an AI-native company and use AI across everything we build and do. Just as Light helps finance teams do their best work, we expect our people to use AI to do theirs.\n\nTo be based in London, with frequent travel.\n\n*But really, what do we know? If the crux of the role sounds right but you don't tick every box, reach out anyway and make your case.\nThe good stuff.\nIn-office culture, with a high talent-density team.\nCompetitive salary.\n25 days annual leave plus public holidays in your country of employment.\nThe chance to shape a category from the inside, not just market around it.\nRegular travel to Copenhagen, London, New York, and wherever the action is.\nCompany off-sites twice a year. The last one was in Italy.\nLight is an equal opportunity employer.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3842,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"German","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Annual leave"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Germany","iso":"DE","kind":"region"},{"name":"Austria","iso":"AT","kind":"region"},{"name":"Switzerland","iso":"CH","kind":"region"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Autonomous Driving","Computer Vision","Machine Vision & 3D Cameras"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-05T16:00:39Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"GB","licensed_sponsor":true,"adverts_offering_sponsorship_24m":2,"sanctioned_now":false,"evidence":"Licensed UK visa sponsor (Skilled Worker, Senior or Specialist Worker)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Skilled Worker; Global Business Mobility: Senior or Specialist Worker","cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-11-12T09:37:45+00:00","sources":["UK Home Office: register of licensed sponsors (workers)","Alion: sponsorship offered in the employer's own job adverts (24 months)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":50,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.828,"p_room":0.6,"age_days":80,"expected_fill_days":102,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:late","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-12T10:38:37Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/light-marketing-manager-dach","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/light-marketing-manager-dach.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-12T21:30:01Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":45444,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":7310},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=7310"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Flight-marketing-manager-dach"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Flight-marketing-manager-dach"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Flight-marketing-manager-dach"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/light-marketing-manager-dach\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Flight-marketing-manager-dach"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":314496}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"light.co","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":314496},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
