Head of Marketing

Groenlo, Nederland
Full-time
Salary indication: € 6.000 - € 8.000

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.

 

Your responsibilities

Define and guide Nedap Security’s global marketing strategy, ensuring strong alignment between brand, product and market approach while leading the transition toward a SaaS-driven business model.

Your team

In this role, you’ll guide and support a team of marketers who translate our strategic ambitions into clear, consistent brand and market actions. You’ll create direction and rhythm for the team, ensuring that all marketing efforts contribute to a strong and coherent brand presence.
Collaboration is key: you’ll work closely with colleagues from Product, Sales, Customer Success and Leadership to align priorities and create impact together. As part of the Commercial Leadership Team, you’ll help shape the broader commercial strategy and foster a culture of shared ownership and growth.
 

What's in it for you?

Unlike typical corporate roles or early-stage startups, Nedap offers something unique:

  • Transform a category: Lead marketing during a genuine business model transformation in a traditional industry ripe for disruption;
  • Autonomy with resources: You'll have the freedom to build your strategy while backed by a stable, profitable company that invests in growth;

  • Culture of ownership: At Nedap, you're trusted to make decisions. No micromanagement, no endless approval chains - just results;
  • Long-term thinking: We measure success in years, not quarters. You can build sustainable programs, not just chase short-term metrics.

As a Head of Marketing at Nedap Security, you will make a valuable contribution to our goal: making people happier and more successful in their professional lives. 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. At Nedap, everything revolves around trust and autonomy. That’s why, along with your colleagues, you decide on your own working hours and vacation days to maintain a healthy work-life balance. We also place great importance on both personal and professional growth. You’ll receive a thorough introduction and are encouraged to keep developing yourself throughout your career.
