Remote Marketing Manager

We're on the search for a Head of Marketing at TopspinPro - our very first internal marketing hire someone who's pumped about leading a marketing makeover and witnessing the impact it can make. Whether you're a seasoned Head of Marketing or itching to dive into that role for the first time, we'd have your back to help you thrive and grow along the way.
Our mission is to transform Tennis, Pickleball (and hopefully Padel) Our Business: At TopspinPro, we're not just about creating cutting-edge training aids; we're about revolutionising the way tennis and pickleball are learned and enjoyed worldwide. Since our launch in 2015, we've empowered over a million players across 124 countries to master the art of topspin, transforming their game and making the sport infinitely more enjoyable. Our innovative approach has not only garnered a global customer base but has also set the stage for us to become a beacon of innovation in sports training.
We work fully remotely, across different time zones. We are ex-tennis coaches, pickleball fanatics (and the odd racket newbie that snuck in there but we love them anyway) We care a lot about our work and about each other - we support each other, challenge each other and laugh a lot. We are at a hugely exciting moment for TopspinPro as after 9 years we transform from a one-product to multi-product business with a full offering of physical and digital products. The Head of Marketing will be at the core of this beautiful transformation - with the opportunity to fully own the plan and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of tennis and pickleball and the future of our company.
Teamwork is vital to us and for any remote team there can be challenges to build those relationships, to create the team dynamic and friendships that make a workplace a supportive and enjoyable experience. At TopspinPro we are a close team - we support each other, we help each other, we take time to talk about our days and our lives. We also recognise that there are moments when the work stops - that we have families at home that are our priority and as a staff team we encourage each other to prioritise our wellbeing and work/life balance and step away from the screen at the end of the day (even when that can be hard in a remote role and the computer is right there)
The reason this company exists is to help people learn. At TopspinPro we share interesting articles we've read, listen to podcasts in sports psychology, have book club sessions to discuss books that taught us interesting things and challenged our beliefs.
Tennis is a game - it's meant to be fun. Warmth is vital to TopspinPro - our team members are kind, they're fun, they're chatty, they take the time to reach out to a struggling teammate, to send a thoughtful gift on a birthday, to post a photo of their dog in sunglasses to the company slack.
Not everyone is positive all the time and that's ok (we want people to take breaks, practice self-care and take care of their mental health), but enjoying the social side of work and getting to know your teammates beyond the project plan or KPI is vital to us.
