Full-time · Amsterdam

We are Settly!

We are a purpose-driven HR tech scale-up on a mission to redefine the relocation experience for the new generation. We believe everyone deserves to feel at home, no matter where you come from, what you earn, or how long you’re staying.

Diversity & Inclusion is our DNA and the foundation of what we do and why. In our first year of operation, we were named top 200 inspiring diverse start-ups by Techleap. In our second year of operation, we successfully expanded to our first international market (UK). In our third year we added 5 more international markets to our portfolio, and we were recognized by Dealroom as a top 5 start-up to watch globally, and we are only getting started :)

We work with some of the coolest start-ups, scale-ups and publicly listed companies in the world, and help their employees relocate in a hassle-free way through our platform and amazing client success team. We are now ready to scale up our marketing operations and are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Head of Marketing to lead our marketing strategy and operations as we scale up and enter new markets. 


Our core values

Make an impact now - Get the most out of every moment by maximising your impact and going above and beyond for the ultimate client experience

Stay humble - We practice what we preach and walk the talk (no time for politics)

We are passionate - We love what we do and we do what we love

Doing the right thing - Act fair and with integrity. In particular when nobody is watching

Always developing - Embrace change, innovate, take risks and continuously encourage yourself and those around you to grow and develop

Your role

Over the last 3 years we have helped thousands of people move and settle into a new country. We’ve scaled across 7 countries and are proud of an average NPS of 9,1 across the board. The majority of our clients however have come through inbound and with little marketing efforts. In order to continue on our trajectory to increase the positive impact we make with the Settly platform, we’re ready to grow our marketing department and scale up our marketing efforts. In this unique and newly created role you'll be reporting to the CMO and be a key member of our leadership team.
