We’re not looking for someone who shows up — we want someone who shows off.

✦  About First500Days

First500Days is a premium business consulting firm built for one purpose: helping startups scale fast and smart. We partner with ambitious founders and early-stage companies navigating the most critical window of growth — the First500days — where the right strategy, execution, and positioning can define the next decade.

From go-to-market strategy and brand positioning to investor readiness and operational scaling, we work shoulder-to-shoulder with our clients to turn potential into performance. Our consulting engagements are hands-on, high-impact, and built around one belief: great businesses aren’t built by accident.

We’re a lean, high-performance team with a sharp eye for what works — and we’re growing. As we scale our own brand and client portfolio, we’re looking for a Marketing Manager who can own our voice, grow our presence, and make First500Days impossible to ignore.

◈  About the Role

As Marketing Manager at First500Days, you’ll own everything from our social presence to SEO, from campaign strategy to client-facing content. You’ll build and tell the story of a company that helps startups win and your work will directly shape how founders, investors, and the business community perceive us. You’ll also support content and marketing for our client pages, helping our startup clients build credibility and grow their own audiences.

◈  What You’ll Do

• Own and execute content strategy for First500Days across LinkedIn, Instagram, and other key platforms — from ideation to publishing
• Craft compelling, on-brand narratives that speak to founders, early-stage teams, and investors
• Manage and create content for client pages — helping our startup clients build a credible, consistent digital presence
• Plan, launch, and manage end-to-end marketing campaigns — organic, paid, and partnership-led
• Own SEO strategy: keyword research, on-page optimisation, and content calendars aligned to search intent
• Design scroll-stopping visuals and creatives using Canva for social posts, campaigns, thought leadership, and client assets
• Manage and mentor the marketing team — set goals, review output, give sharp feedback, and build capability
