Join to apply for the VP Marketing & GTM Strategy (f/m/d) role at SPREAD AI Short Description SPREAD is a Berlin-based Industrial AI SaaS company pioneering Engineering Intelligence for complex manufacturing industries.

We've built the first AI-powered platform that connects fragmented engineering data to create a unified "Product Truth," enabling automotive OEMs, aerospace manufacturers, and defense contractors to trace requirements to field performance, diagnose root causes in minutes (not weeks), and simulate system-level changes before implementation.

Your Mission As VP Marketing & GTM Strategy, you will: Define SPREAD’s market narrative, positioning, and target segments. Build an integrated marketing engine across thought leadership, ABM, demand, and product marketing.

What You’ll Do Market & GTM Strategy: Develop a clear view of priority segments and buying centers in automotive, aerospace, defense, and related industries. Define ideal customer profiles and use cases where SPREAD has a strong right to win.

Build GTM playbooks per segment: value drivers, key messages, competitive alternatives, and recommended motions. Turn strategy into a prioritised portfolio of initiatives with explicit hypotheses, success criteria, and timelines. Prepare executive‑ready GTM plans and updates that align leadership around focus and trade‑offs.

Own the Engineering Intelligence narrative: what it is, why it matters now, and how SPREAD differs from PLM/ALM, analytics, and generic AI tools. Shape a content strategy using POV pieces, case studies, and talks to reach both technical leaders and business stakeholders.

Represent SPREAD at selected industry events and roundtables through keynotes and panels. Account-Based & Strategic Marketing: With Sales, identify strategic accounts and design account‑specific programs (workshops, executive briefings, co‑innovation formats).

Structure multi‑step journeys for these accounts, from initial education to pilot, expansion, and long‑term partnership. Maintain a structured view of each strategic account: stakeholders, buying process, current state, risks, and opportunities.

Orchestrate field, content, and digital activities required to progress opportunities through long sales cycles. Oversee integrated campaigns across content, events, digital, and partnerships that map to your GTM plays.

Demand Generation & Product Marketing: Ensure product positioning and messaging are clear and specific for each key persona and industry. Align with Product on launch plans for major releases and ensure Sales has effective enablement (decks, stories, ROI cases).

Work with specialists to execute performance and lifecycle marketing while maintaining ownership of priorities and effectiveness. Collaborate with Revenue Operations to ensure reliable data and dashboards in HubSpot/Salesforce. Establish a planning and review cadence: quarterly priorities, monthly reviews, and a manageable pipeline of experiments.

Your Experience Experience & Background: 8–12+ years in B2B software or industrial technology, with responsibility for go‑to‑market and marketing in enterprise environments. Experience designing or leading GTM strategy for high‑ACV, multi‑stakeholder deals.

Proven track record of working closely with Sales and Product on shared pipeline and revenue goals. Exposure to technical or engineering‑driven products (platforms, data/AI, industrial or engineering tools) and the ability to quickly understand complex technical concepts.

Skills & Working Style: Structured problem‑solver: able to break down ambiguous GTM questions into clear analyses and decision options. Comfortable with data and metrics: you understand funnels, unit economics, and how to design tests to validate assumptions.

Able to move between strategy and hands‑on work: from crafting narratives and frameworks to shaping key decks and campaigns. Skilled at cross‑functional collaboration, aligning stakeholders around a small number of important priorities. Bias for clarity and focus: you simplify where possible, make decisions, and ensure important work is finished.

Comfortable in a growth‑stage environment with incomplete information and evolving priorities. High sense of ownership for business outcomes, not just marketing activity. Why SPREAD? The Problem is Real: Automotive OEMs, aerospace manufacturers, and defense contractors are drowning in engineering complexity.

Software‑defined vehicles have 10x the software they did a decade ago. Engineers lose 40% of their time searching for information across 15+ disconnected systems. Our customers are desperate for a solution! The Timing is Perfect: AI moment: Industrial AI adoption is accelerating (GenAI, predictive analytics).

Market tailwinds: Every OEM transitioning to software‑defined products. Regulatory pressure: DO-178C (aerospace), ISO 26262 (automotive) require traceability. Budget: Engineering Intelligence is now a C-level priority (CTO, CDO budgets). The Opportunity is Huge: TAM: €15B+ (PLM + ALM + Engineering Analytics markets).

Competitive moat: Proprietary Engineering Intelligence Network (EIN) ontology, 3+ years of R&D. Land & Expand: Start €300k, expand to €2M+ per account (VW, BMW proof points). The Culture is Exceptional: Ownership: You own the outcomes, not just the activity. Impact: Your work directly moves revenue and the company's trajectory.
