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.

forgd is the consultancy partnering exclusively with Anthropic to help enterprises build AI-native businesses. We start with engineering — helping organizations move from individual developers using Claude Code to entire teams shipping together with AI-native workflows — and expand into agentic solution delivery and broader business transformation. Our conviction is that engineers are uniquely positioned to lead this transformation. The strongest mental model for designing, deploying, and governing AI agents in production lives in software engineering. The teams that change how their organization builds software are the same teams equipped to shepherd the rest of the business into this new world. We embed and co-build with customer teams. Cycles are short, delivery is iterative and accountable to clear outcome goals. As an Applied AI Architect, you embed with enterprise customers and own the technical work across the full customer journey — initial demos, short proof-of-value engagements, and multi-week implementations. The work moves customers from interesting prototypes to production capability. Most engagements start in engineering. You'll work with customer engineering teams adopting Claude Code and redesigning their SDLC — code review, requirements, testing, documentation, and governance. From there, the work expands: co-building agentic applications and modernizing legacy systems on the Claude developer platform, and partnering with business stakeholders to deploy agents into core operations like sales, customer service, and finance. You're the expert in the room on how engineers work with Claude Code, what an agentic application looks like in production, and what has to change in an organization to sustain either. You build prototypes, ship code, run workshops, write specs, and make the calls that move customers from demos to deployment. Collaborate directly with Anthropic on customer engagements — joint working sessions, early access to product changes, and a direct line to their product and engineering teams. Lead Claude Code Labs and customer workshops Take customer teams from beginner to power user across Claude Code, Claude for Work, Cowork, and the developer platform Codify deployment patterns and feed them back to forgd's methodology and Anthropic's product teams Lead discovery into customer environments — engineering toolchains and workflows, business operations, and organizational dynamics — and turn that into clear technical plans Advise on how AI-native development changes existing engineering practices: issue management, branching, testing, code review, and security Guide adoption programs that scale Claude across engineering organizations and into business teams Scope engagements: assumptions, risks, milestones, and dependencies Embed with customer teams to co-build agentic applications on the Claude developer platform Build technical artifacts — evaluation frameworks, MCP servers, sub-agents, and deployment configurations — tailored to the customer's stack What Success Looks Like Customers move from proof-of-value to production Engineering teams measurably change how they ship software Customers become references Accounts expand on the strength of the work You May Be a Good Fit If You Have 3–5 years in a customer-facing technical role — Solutions Architect, Sales Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer, Technical Consultant — or in a hands-on engineering role as a Software Engineer or Product Engineer Software development experience in a high-scale startup or enterprise environment; you know what it takes to write, ship, and operate production code Production experience with LLMs — prompt engineering, agent design, and evaluation frameworks. Power user of Claude Code or equivalent AI coding assistants; you live in AI-native development yourself Familiarity with enterprise development toolchains, CI/CD, and modern SDLC practices, and cloud-native deployment on AWS, GCP, or Azure Communication skills that work across the room — individual contributors, engineering leadership, and business stakeholders High agency and comfort with ambiguity; you operate autonomously in customer environments Background in professional services or consulting Track record leading developer productivity or developer experience at scale Vertical experience in financial services, healthcare, or other regulated industries Experience driving organizational change Work at the frontier: Direct partnership with Anthropic — joint engagements, early access to product changes, and working sessions with their Applied AI team Founding team: You shape how we work and grow as we scale Remote: Fully remote across North American and European time zones Compensation and benefits: Competitive salary, equity, and full benefits We encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every qualification. Research shows people from underrepresented groups often hesitate unless they meet every requirement, and we don't want you to exclude yourself prematurely. If you're excited about AI-native engineering and want to help enterprises change how they build software, we'd love to hear from you. forgd is an equal opportunity employer.
