Vice President of Marketing

About Shapr3D

We’re on a mission to reinvent 3D design for the 21st century.

To achieve this, we’re completely reimagining legacy computer-aided design (CAD) tools and building an iconic, mobile-first product that will define the next 30 years of the industry. Over the past two years of high-speed growth, our App Store Editor’s Choice winning app has been regularly featured in Apple commercials. But what we’re most proud of is the love we receive from our global user base every day. Because at the end of the day Shapr3D is driven by our product, and our product is driven by our users.

Position

We’re looking for a VP of Marketing to join us. This is a unique opportunity and a one of a kind role from which you will own the growth and marketing function end-to-end, in a SaaS 2.0 (bottom-up, product-led) company. This is no small task: you'll lead a team of ~10 people to start with, and you'll work closely with our CEO and leadership team to shape our growth strategy. And your mission? Establish Shapr3D as a category leader for CAD solutions within the SMEs space across Europe, US and APAC.

This role can be based locally in our Budapest (Hungary) HQ, or remotely - so, you’re welcome to apply wherever you’re based.

Within the organization...

You’ll report directly to our CEO and you'll be part of the leadership team. As Shapr3D’s marketing function is a central driver for our growth, you'll get the chance not only to build a world-class marketing function here but also to strongly influence our path towards a future tech unicorn status.

We market to a niche audience and domain, so the marketing environment is difficult to crack – but it’s also extremely rewarding when you do. So, as our VP of Marketing you'll have the mission to disrupt a traditional industry held by the firm grip of legacy vendors.
