Director, Marketing - Guidebook & ReadyKey

ABOUT GUIDEBOOK:

Guidebook is a mobile application builder that lets anyone create an app with no technical skills required.

Thousands of organizations across the globe use Guidebook to build mobile apps for events, university campus open houses, venue guides, onboarding for associations, corporate trainings and so much more. These apps help people stay organized, connect with their peers, and access more information - but it doesn’t stop there.

Our mission is to connect people with the resources they need to get the most out of their experience - in person and virtually. We are a driven team focused on elevating mobile experiences for everyone – and we believe we can accomplish that while highly valuing balance, togetherness, and fun!

ABOUT READYKEY:

ReadyKey was launched in 2021 to specifically target Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS), Compliance and Manufacturing use cases. 

Leveraging the same powerful technology as Guidebook, ReadyKey helps some of the largest companies in the world to provide critical information to their employees - anytime, anywhere. Leaders implement a ‘No Excuses’ culture by ensuring employees always have access to the right information at the right time - in an app which works offline and supports multiple languages. 

ReadyKey’s brand is the more serious younger sister to Guidebook - this is a unique challenge to shape a start-up within a more established company (although we still view Guidebook as a start-up in many ways!).

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

We are seeking a data-driven Marketing leader to craft and execute on a marketing vision at Guidebook & ReadyKey. You will lead, coach, and grow an incredible team of driven, talented individuals responsible for driving demand.

You will be responsible for critical functions such as brand, performance, and lifecycle marketing, managing and scaling all marketing resources -- including personnel and our performance marketing agency -- to grow our business. This is a role for someone who thinks strategically yet is hands-on -- you’re driven to test and measure marketing efforts, and welcome the opportunity to tie your efforts to growth in our revenue.

• You have helped cultivate a strong culture through your leadership and by living our core values on a daily basis.

• You have honed and articulated the Guidebook and ReadyKey brands, and flowed that through our marketing efforts. 

• You have developed projections and measured ROI/effectiveness of our marketing efforts. You have refined the means of tracking performance, established a cadence for reporting, and leverage this data to make key marketing decisions.  

• You are close to our customers, competitors, and industry. You have a strong understanding of their behavior and the landscape.
