Head of Marketing

• Groenlo
• Security

What are you going to do?

Nedap develops cutting-edge solutions for physical access control, helping organisations protect people, property and processes. As we shift towards SaaS-based offerings and cloud-native platforms, we're looking for a Head of Marketing who can set the vision and lead the global marketing transformation of Nedap Security.

As Head of Marketing, you will play a key role in positioning and strengthening the brand of Nedap in Security as we evolve from a traditional access control provider to a software-driven security solutions company. Together with your team, you'll translate our strategic ambitions into clear positioning, creative campaigns and effective demand generation programs that strengthen our reputation and drive growth.

You'll act as both strategist and team leader, inspiring and supporting a skilled group of marketers to explore new ways of connecting with our audiences. Collaboration will be central to your success: you'll work closely with colleagues from Product, Sales and Customer Success to build a shared, story-driven approach to marketing.

This is a rare opportunity to shape the marketing function during a pivotal growth phase, building the playbook for how a European tech company scales a SaaS business in a traditional industry.

You will report to the Head of Commerce for the Business Unit Security.

In addition to your salary, you'll receive a thirteenth month, a solid pension plan, a lease car and profit sharing with the opportunity to become a Nedap shareholder.
