The CMO will turn iiDENTIFii's biometric identity expertise, customer credibility and product strategy into a clear market position, trusted commercial narrative and measurable growth engine.

today spanning brand, content, demand generation, product marketing, events and sales enablement.
It is a high-autonomy, high-accountability role: you will operate with significant independence, make consequential decisions at pace, and set the standard for marketing excellence across a technically sophisticated, security-sensitive biometric identity business.
The Chief Marketing Officer owns the “why, what and how” of iiDENTIFii's market presence: translating company strategy into a coherent, evidence-based marketing portfolio, setting the cadence and quality of content and campaigns, and acting as the connective tissue that keeps product, sales, engineering and operations aligned around a shared commercial narrative.

Demonstrated success owning a marketing portfolio end-to-end, from strategy and brand through demand generation and commercial outcomes
