- Proven experience managing and developing high-performing teams with multi-layered reporting structures

- This role owns all marketing output for Spitfire Audio, from brand strategy and storytelling to campaigns, lifecycle, partnerships, and merchandising
- It will also lead strategic positioning, launches, and growth for Spitfire Audio’s core instruments business—strengthening leadership with composers, expanding into adjacent creator segments, and driving sustained revenue through world-class brand building and performance marketing
- Reporting to the GM, this role will directly manage the Spitfire Audio GTM team and direct marketing efforts across the broader Splice and Spitfire Instruments portfolio – helping guide GTM trade-offs, coordinated campaigns, and clear brand storytelling
- Define Spitfire Audio’s brand vision, positioning, and customer narrative
- Set GTM priorities and translate launches and strategic bets into clear plans with measurable outcomes
- Ensure consistent differentiation across all touch points (sound quality, musicality, expressiveness, ease of use)
- Work closely with the GM, Instruments, and SVP, Marketing to shape Spitfire Audio’s place in the Splice brand architecture
- Drive GTM execution across launches, evergreen growth, and seasonal moments
- Lead integrated campaigns across content, social, CRM/lifecycle, partnerships, PR, and site merchandising
- Build repeatable GTM operating rhythms (planning, launch playbooks, performance reviews)
- Optimise acquisition, activation, conversion, and retention journeys across the funnel
- Own lifecycle strategy including onboarding, cross-sell/upsell, winback, and segmentation
- Partner closely with ecommerce and web teams to improve conversion and merchandising
- Translate product and AI innovation into compelling, creator-centric value propositions
- Shape pricing, packaging, and positioning across perpetual and subscription business models
- Manage and develop the Spitfire Audio GTM org, including creative, product marketing, partnerships, merchandising, and CRM
- Set clear priorities, coach leaders, and maintain a high bar for creative and executional excellence
- Build a highly data-driven marketing culture
- Act as a senior strategic marketing leader across Spitfire Audio and Splice Instruments
- Help resolve overlaps, define portfolio positioning, and guide GTM trade-offs
- Ensure customers clearly understand Spitfire Audio vs. Splice Instrument offerings and why each exists
Our take
Traditionally, making music has relied on instruments, musicians, and a lot of coordination. Splice turns the music industry on its head by streamlining the process of creating, collaborating, and sharing music.
Acting like a GitHub for musicians, Splice sets itself apart from other music production software by offering samples and loops to its customers for a relatively affordable monthly flat fee, while simultaneously allowing creative artists to sell their sounds for royalty-free use. As such, the platform has been used by more than 2.5 million users, from bedroom DJs to mainstream artists such as Eminem, Ariana Grande, and Drake.
Splice co-founder Steve Martocci brings a track record from his previous startup, GroupMe, which was sold to Skype for $85 million just a year after launching. Splice is now valued at nearly half a billion dollars and is focusing on partnerships and adding more samples to its library to work on its product and attract new customers.
