This role welcomes a full-remote work arrangement, however applicants must be based in UK and have a work permit to be considered. We value diverse perspectives and recognize that skills and experiences can be gained in various ways. If you're excited about this opportunity but don't meet every single requirement listed, we would love to hear from you and encourage you to submit an application! ABOUT THE ROLE Launchmetrics connects the world's leading Fashion, Lifestyle and Beauty (FLB) brands to the data and insights they need to make smarter decisions. As Customer Marketing Coordinator, you'll help us stay close to the customers who matter most -the ones already on Launchmetrics who we want to grow, energize and turn into advocates. This is a full-time, remote role based in London. Reporting to the Marketing Director, You'll be in the room (physically and virtually) for some of our most important customer moments: supporting the events where our customers show up, building the personalized content and workshop decks that start a conversation with a brand and becoming a familiar, trusted face for a group of smaller accounts across cities like New York, London, Paris, and Milan. This role is about relationships as much as it's about process and strategy. You'll need to sync closely with Sales and Customer Success to understand what each account needs next, and you'll own the coordination and launch of outreach campaigns to client contacts -from a first personalized email, to a workshop conversation, to a relationship that lasts. It's a role for someone who enjoys the people's side just as much as the discipline of making a multi-stakeholder program run on time. RESPONSIBILITIES Customer event support. Support the Marketing Engagements Executive and the Director in the planning and on-site execution of events where our customers attend -coordinating logistics, guest experience and follow-up. We're looking for someone who doesn't just execute the plan, but brings ideas on how to make these moments better. Growing the database. Own the customer growth KPI: through outbound emails and marketing campaigns, expand our database of client contacts beyond current users, into new regions, brands and departments within existing accounts, building company-level awareness, not just with the teams already using Launchmetrics. This broader "account awareness" makes it easier to spot growth and expansion opportunities down the line. Personalized content & data stories. Own and develop account-specific content - data stories, talking points and materials- that give Sales and the Director a compelling, tailored way to open or deepen a conversation with a customer. Customer workshops. Support the research, customization and development of individual workshop decks, working closely with the Marketing Engagements Executive on strategy and format, and with the Director on prioritization, translating Launchmetrics data (including Media Impact Value® / MIV®) into a narrative tailored to each brand. Outreach coordination. Own and coordinate personalized customer outreach campaigns (email and beyond), building genuine working-layer relationships with the people who use Launchmetrics day to day. Relationship development. Build and maintain relationships with Tier 2 client contacts across our customer base, becoming a known, reliable point of contact for smaller accounts in key cities (NYC, London, Paris, Milan, Spain, and beyond). Target list enrichment. Collect and track engagement, scoring and intent signals on our target accounts from multiple sources (ZoomInfo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Lemlist), and turn them into something the team can actually act on -flagging and sharing the right signals with Sales, Customer Success and the Director so we spot opportunities for expansion and growth quickly, before they go cold. Customer reporting support. Support the regular tracking of customer marketing objectives, keeping reports current so the team always has a clear read on what's working. ABOUT YOU Who you are 1–3 years of experience in customer marketing, marketing coordination, ABM, event support or a related area — comfortable with both relationship-building and hands-on execution. Curious about brands and people: you like understanding what makes a specific account tick and enjoy shaping a message around it. Comfortable being the point of contact for external stakeholders, including customers more senior than you. Confidence with data: you can pull, clean and interpret numbers and turn them into a story a customer would find compelling. Strong written communication skills, with an eye for how information is presented. Organized and dependable: you can run several workshops, campaigns or events at once without losing track of the details. Familiarity with tools like Salesforce, HubSpot, ZoomInfo, Sales Navigator or Lemlist is a plus, but not a requirement, you'll get training. Familiarity with the Fashion, Lifestyle or Beauty industry is a plus. A proactive approach: you spot what needs doing and act on it rather than waiting to be told.

Introduction: Saab UK is part of Scandinavia's largest defence company, bringing together the best of Swedish and British innovation. Saab offers world-leading solutions and services in defence, aviation, space, and civil security to keep people and society safe. Our UK presence has been growing at pace, meaning we can offer a wide range of opportunities for personal fulfilment and career growth. We currently employ over 600 people across eight sites in the UK, and our specialisations include software engineering, underwater robotics, radars, AI, and armed forces training. The Role: Blue Bear is a leading autonomy and unmanned systems company. We are seeking a UAV Concept Engineer to strengthen our early-stage design capability: turning requirements and CONOPS into sized, analysed and testable air vehicle concepts through rapid, iterative trade studies. This role is central to our conceptual design loop, by early exploring design trade space and rapidly iterating through geometry, aerodynamics, weights, propulsion, mission and stability. A defining part of this role is closing the loop between analysis and reality. You will synthesise data from bench and flight testing, flight logs, telemetry and measured performance and feed it back to correct and improve our conceptual models, sizing methods and surrogates, so each design iteration is grounded in real evidence. Working as part of the Concepts team, you will bring a proactive, collaborative approach and a passion for fast iteration, sound engineering judgement and building tools and methods that make the whole team faster. Key Responsibilities: Perform aircraft conceptual sizing and constraint analysis (wing loading vs thrust/power-to-weight, weight closure, mission/energy sizing) to define feasible design points for new UAV concepts. Develop and morph parametric air vehicle geometry and Outer Mould Line and drive it through the analysis loop, regenerating a concept from a defined parameter set. Produce the core conceptual outputs each iteration: drag polars, lift curves, weight breakdowns, mission energy/endurance, static margin, trim and control authority. Run trade studies and design-space exploration to make optimisation and sensitivity studies fast enough to explore many designs. Synthesise flight-test and bench-test data (flight logs, telemetry, measured aero/propulsion performance) and use it to validate, calibrate and improve conceptual models and sizing methods. Select and shape propulsion system concepts and integrate them into mission and energy-network performance analysis. Maintain, improve and where appropriate build the concept-design toolchain and automation that underpins rapid iteration (geometry, aero, mission, surrogate and data-processing tools). Capture and communicate design risk, where the design is immature or sensitive and feed it into the programme risk register. Qualifications and skills: We are specifically looking for someone with hands-on experience in aircraft sizing, concept-design tooling, and the synthesis of flight-test data to improve models Demonstrable experience in aircraft / UAV conceptual design and sizing, constraint analysis, weight and mission/energy sizing, and closing a design point. Hands-on experience with conceptual and preliminary design tools such as OpenVSP, RCAIDE, AVL, XFLR5, Datcom or equivalent in-house tools. Sound applied aerodynamics knowledge, drag build-up, lift curves, drag polars and the ability to generate and interpret them for design decisions. Experience synthesising flight logs / telemetry / test data and using it to validate and improve analytical models (model calibration, correlation to test). Strong scripting and analysis skills in Python (or similar) for automation, data processing and building/using design tools. Working understanding of the full conceptual design loop: geometry, aerodynamics, weights, propulsion, mission performance and stability & control, and how the disciplines couple. Ability to work iteratively, favouring fast, defensible estimates over slow precision at the conceptual stage, and to communicate assumptions and uncertainty clearly. Strong problem-solving skills, sound engineering judgement, and a proactive approach to improving methods and tools. Ability to work collaboratively across a small, multidisciplinary engineering team. Structural analysis, FEA, airframe structural sizing. Stability & control analysis, flight dynamics modelling, and handling-qualities assessment. Design-of-experiments for sub systems. Propulsion sizing and integration of electric, hybrid-electric or gas turbine systems. Experience with PX4 / ArduPilot, SITL/HITL simulation, and processing autopilot flight logs (ULog, MAVLink). CAD and geometry handling; exporting/meshing surfaces for higher-fidelity aero (panel/CFD). Mid- to high-fidelity aero exposure (panel methods such as FlightStream, or RANS CFD) for validating key design points. Experience working in safety-critical, regulated or defence environments. Ability to gain SC Clearance. By submitting an application to Saab UK you consent to undertaking workforce screening activities that may include but are not limited to: Baseline Personnel Security checks, National Security Vetting, reference checks, verification of working rights and in all circumstances preferred candidates will be placed through a security interview.
