About the Company SalesAPE is building AI agents for the 93% of businesses that the tech industry ignored. Construction firms. Roofers. Estate agents. Automotive. Trades. Real people, real businesses, real GDP. For twenty years, tech companies compounded faster because computers quietly amplified their productivity. Meanwhile, the real economy—50% of GDP—was technically starved. AI changes that. SalesAPE’s agents don’t feel like software. They feel like teammates. Customers name them. Trust them. Rely on them. They talk about their “Ape” like it’s part of the business—and sometimes part of the family. The long-term vision is bold: to become the brain of a business, spinning out agent workers that remove admin, unlock growth, and give people time back for real human interaction. This is mission-driven work, but it’s also execution-driven. The market is enormous. The timing is perfect. And the bar internally is extremely high. About the Role This is not a “brand custodian” role. This is a build-the-engine, own-the-number, get-in-the-weeds Head of Marketing role at one of the fastest-growing AI companies in Europe, backed by $20m+ from top-tier VCs. SalesAPE is already working. The product has traction. Customers love it. The mission is real. Now we’re looking for a marketing operator who can turn momentum into a compounding growth machine. You will own the entire marketing function end-to-end: strategy, execution, systems, hiring, and outcomes. This is a role for someone who is as comfortable setting a narrative for the board as they are rebuilding a funnel at midnight because CAC crept up. If you want comfort, process theatre, or a big brand to hide behind—this isn’t it. If you want impact, ownership, and the chance to define how AI reaches the real economy, read on.
