Senior Marketing Manager

DECTRIS is a successful and growing hightech company that develops and manufactures X-ray and electron cameras to spark scientific breakthroughs around the world. While photographic cameras capture visible light, DECTRIS cameras count individual X-ray photons and electrons. Our 150+ employees are located in Switzerland, the United States and Japan.
At DECTRIS, we advance science through delivering and communicating technology-leading solutions. Our ultimate goal is to serve present and future generations in mastering society's most important challenges by enabling scientific and technological breakthroughs. We have built a unique brand over the years, earning the trust and loyalty of our customers, OEM partners, and suppliers. As we pursue our diversification strategy and evolve from a detector manufacturer to an enabler of scientific breakthroughs, it becomes crucial to nurture this valuable asset.
Since we embrace Sociocracy 3.0 principles and transition to self-organized, cross-functional teams, we are seeking a senior high-tech marketing manager who is motivated by the impact of our products and thrives in a dynamic, collaborative environment. We are not simply looking for a classical Head of Marketing and Communications focused on budgets and titles. Instead, we seek an individual who shares our passion for making a difference and understands the importance of working in a cross-functional setting.
