Lead Generation Marketing Manager

Title: Lead Generation Marketing Manager Location: Germany | Remote

Job description

Team & Reporting Line:

Our Mission

At constellr, we use thermal intelligence from space to understand what is happening on Earth - where, when and at scale. Our satellite constellation delivers high-resolution land surface temperature data, giving governments, defence organisations, commercial operators and global institutions the intelligence they need to monitor change, assess risk and make better-informed decisions.

From national security and critical infrastructure to agriculture and climate resilience, constellr turns temperature into actionable intelligence for a changing world.

Your Role

As our Commercial Marketing Manager, you will be the engine that connects constellr’s marketing activity to real commercial outcomes. Sitting at the intersection of Marketing and Sales, you will own the journey from first touchpoint to sales-ready opportunity – turning campaigns, events and inbound interest into a healthy, qualified pipeline for our sales team.

You will work hand-in-hand with our Sales and Business Development team every day, partner closely with Marketing, Product and our Earth observation scientists, and help translate complex thermal data capabilities into compelling commercial stories for customers across agriculture, infrastructure, government and defence.

This is a high-impact role in a fast-scaling New Space company. The pipeline you build, the opportunities you create and the positioning you shape will directly drive our growth as we bring the world’s first commercial thermal infrared constellation to market. If you love being close to the deal, thrive on momentum and want to see the tangible impact of your work, this role is for you.

Key responsibilities

• Lead Management: Own and manage all incoming leads, ensuring every enquiry is captured, qualified and followed up promptly in our CRM.

• Lead Generation: Generate new leads from marketing activities – campaigns, content, webinars, digital channels and events – and turn them into qualified opportunities.

• Pipeline Building: Build and fill the sales pipeline, maintaining its health and visibility, and work against commercial targets where relevant.

• Lead Nurturing: Nurture leads with relevant, targeted touchpoints until they are sales-ready, then ensure a smooth, well-documented handover to the sales team.

• Opportunity Creation: Proactively identify and create new commercial opportunities across target markets, segments and key accounts.

• Sales Enablement: Understand what salespeople need to progress deals, and quickly produce or coordinate the required sales materials, pitch decks, case studies and information.

• Events & Conferences: Support conference and event preparation from a commercial perspective – target account lists, meeting booking, collateral and structured post-event follow-up.

• Commercial Positioning & Strategy: Define and continuously improve constellr’s commercial positioning and messaging, and contribute to the wider commercial strategy.

• Bridging Marketing & Sales: Act as the link between marketing activities and sales execution, ensuring campaigns align with commercial priorities and that feedback flows in both directions.

• Performance & Reporting: Track and report on lead volume, pipeline contribution, conversion rates and campaign ROI, using insights to continuously optimise activity.
