Role
Who you are
- A natural storyteller. You can spot the hooks that grab peoples’ attention and craft engaging stories that inspire
- A doer. AI will accelerate us, but you still enjoy the craft of writing and satisfaction of getting stuff done, whether writing an award-winning award application or securing a high-profile podcast for a cofounder
- Results-driven. You thrive working towards ambitious targets that drive brand awareness and advocacy across your target vertical
- Adaptive and resilient. You thrive in a dynamic environment and are optimistic about overcoming obstacles while maintaining motivation
- Passionate. You’ll be using the power of storytelling to help deliver our mission
- A high level of autonomy and ownership. As the sole marketer for your vertical, it will be your job to build strong relationships with customers, colleagues, and the knowledge necessary to tell stories effectively
- At least 4 years’ relevant experience. You have experience with some combination of social media, content marketing, PR, events, email marketing and/or demand generation
- Hunger to level up your Marcomms capabilities. You’ll have deep curiosity to level up in new disciplines to become a true Swiss Army Knife of Marcomms, and the ability to swiftly learn and use tools like Hubspot, Webflow, Figma and Customer.io
- Excellent written and spoken English. You write in clear, concise, human English and can tailor messages to audiences, whether senior government officials, frontline staff, or prospective employees
- Creativity. There is no playbook, you’ll be writing it with the support of other Marcomms Leads from across Beam
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a creative, hands on and fast paced Communications and Marketing Lead to build brand awareness and drive pipeline across the US
- You'll own the strategy and execution of all communications and marketing efforts including but not limited to: content creation, sales enablement, field marketing, demand generation and PR
- You’re a full-stack marketer, with a strong sense of ownership. Whether your skills lean more towards growth, content or field marketing, you’re happy to get stuck in with all channels and develop new capabilities in a supportive team environment
- Becoming an expert and trusted partner in your vertical. You’ll work closely with Sales and Customer Success to proactively identify opportunities
- Regularly speaking to customers to develop a deep understanding of frontline work and AI
- Forward planning your integrated Marcomms strategy. You’ll have high ownership to design and execute on a range of activities including:
- Customer stories via our website, video, blog, one-pagers and social
- PR, partner and influencer marketing
- Sales and BDR enablement via slides, outreach sequences, training and ABM
- Demand generation via paid and organic channels
- Field marketing including conferences and customer dinners
- Webinars, podcasts and virtual events
- Long form thought leadership including ebooks and research reports
- Newsletters and email communications
- Spotting and crafting “the story opportunity”: whether that angle is AI, social care, employment, human interest or data-led - you’ll spot it and tell it compellingly
- Building influencer networks with membership bodies and trade press
Our take
Trusted by over 100 government partners, Beam is a social enterprise that brings AI to welfare services. Enabled by tech and AI, their caseworkers have supported thousands of underserved people into homes and jobs, whilst their software has slashed admin for thousands of frontline workers across the UK.
Beam is funded by established names in the UK tech scene, the world's top impact funds and the Mayor of London. Founder and CEO, Alex Stephany, brings a track record from his previous startup backed by Index Ventures and was even named Purpose Entrepreneur of the Year 2024. The rest of Beam's senior team has their own wealth of experience from a variety of leading startups, tech, and social impact businesses like Arm, Multiverse, and GoCardless.
Beam has also won multiple awards, including a Queen's Award - one of the UK's most prestigious business awards - and has twice been voted as one of the top 100 places to work in the UK. Their work has been covered widely in the media, with features from the BBC, The Times, FT, Forbes and The Independent.
AI has the potential to be a game changer for social workers and in a recent pilot, Beam's AI tool, Magic Notes, reduced the time spend on administrative tasks by over 60% and cut assessment write-ups from four hours to just 90 minutes. As councils explore next steps, Beam's technology is already redefining how frontline workers deliver care, so they can spend more time on what matters most.
