Role Overview
NatureMetrics is looking for a senior Interim Head of Marketing to lead our Marketing function through a critical and fast‑moving period of commercial growth. This is a hands‑on leadership role for someone who can hit the ground running, bringing strategic clarity, executional rigour and the confidence to make decisions quickly in an environment where the pace is high and the expectations are higher.
You will inherit a small, ambitious team and a strong strategic foundation, but this is not a maintenance role. The Marketing Team is motivated and hard‑working, but will benefit from the structure, mentorship and senior expertise that an experienced leader brings, raising the bar on output quality and helping the team grow into a higher level of performance. A genuine curiosity for our mission and the ability to translate it into compelling, credible communications is essential.
Key Responsibilities
* Strategic Leadership: Own and refine the marketing roadmap, ensuring it remains tightly aligned to commercial priorities and is executed with pace and precision.
* Complex Messaging & Positioning: Lead the development of clear, compelling narratives across technically complex subject matter – translating science, regulation and commercial value into messaging that resonates with diverse stakeholder audiences including enterprise clients, partners and policymakers.

* Product & Pipeline Promotion: Drive go‑to‑market execution for upcoming product launches, ensuring key internal and external stakeholders are engaged and commercially ready.

* Performance Reporting & Insight: Maintain a rigorous reporting cadence for the Executive Leadership Team, tracking KPIs including lead generation, CPL and ROI, and translating data into clear, actionable insights that demonstrate Marketing's contribution to business milestones.
