Edgx

Marketing & Communications Manager

We build deep, niche expertise with purpose: challenging assumptions, closing knowledge gaps, and letting genuine curiosity drive us ahead.

Focused Ambition

We pair a bold, shared vision with full ownership of our work, turning focused ambition into real results.

We share knowledge openly, lift each other up, and push each other to grow; because collaboration isn't just how we work, it's how we innovate.

Backed by industry leaders Shape the future of space infrastructure

We started just three years ago, and we're moving fast. EDGX is backed by imec.istart, the imec.istart Future Fund, and the Flanders Future Tech Fund through a €2.3M seed round, plus several ongoing ESA contracts. Our first two satellite demonstration missions launched in March 2026 on a SpaceX Falcon 9, with more sure to come. If you want to help define the future of the space industry, you'll feel right at home at EDGX.

Key Responsibilities

As our Marketing & Communications Manager, you own marketing at EDGX from A to Z. You're equally comfortable setting the brand strategy as you are writing a LinkedIn post or manning our booth at a conference. This is a broad, hands‑on role for someone who wants to build the marketing function of a fast‑growing spacetech scale‑up. You'll work closely with the CEO and the Sales & Business Development Manager to make sure marketing directly supports EDGX's commercial growth.

• Inbound Marketing: You own the website and social networks. Your goal is to turn visitors into leads by optimising the user journey and managing high‑value downloads (White Papers, product specifications, etc.).
• Outbound Marketing: In coordination with the Business Development & Sales team, you execute targeted outbound campaigns.
• Smart Nurtering: Sales cycles in Space are long. You keep EDGX "top of mind" with prospects and partners through content sequences (newsletters, product updates) and events, demos & workshops.

2. Brand & Strategic Messaging – 30%

• Messaging (B2B & B2G): You translate our technical capabilities into clear, compelling messaging, both for engineers as well as commercial and government stakeholders.
• Sales materials: You are responsible for the "Sales Kit". You produce the Pitch Decks, One-Pagers, and Case Studies that the Sales team uses every day. You ensure our materials look world‑class and credible.
• Product Marketing: You work with customers and engineering to translate product specifications into clear customer benefits, acting as the bridge between the market and our technical teams.

3. Event & Brand Visibility – 30%

• Project orchestration: Whether you do it yourself or brief freelancers/interns, you are responsible for the quality, deadline, and delivery of all brand and communication assets.
• Content Creation: You manage the editorial line and calendar (LinkedIn, Blog). You supervise external contributors to produce regular, high-quality content.
• Public relations: You act as the primary point of contact for the media. You draft press releases for company milestones (product launches, contracts, partnerships) and identify key journalists (Space, Tech, Defence) to secure coverage and interviews for the leadership team.
• Conferences & events: You coordinate outreach to secure meetings at trade shows and conferences and define the message and visual experience on‑site to ensure we stand out.
• Budget & Planning: You own the marketing budget, planning and allocating spend in line with business development and corporate goals.

What you're bringing

• Experience: 3+ years of experience in B2B marketing in a technical environment (Deeptech, Embedded Systems, SaaS). Experience with B2G Marketing is a plus.
• Tech-Compatible: You are comfortable working in a "Super Tech" culture. You aren't afraid to ask engineers questions to get the right information. You excel at simplifying complex technical concepts into clear, compelling value propositions for business and government leaders.
• Relation builder: You have the confidence to pick up the phone or walk up to a prospect to seek direct market feedback and sharpen your strategy.
• Hands‑on: You are strategic, but you are also ready to update the CRM, fix a slide, or set up a roll‑up banner when needed.
• Coordinator: You know how to manage a budget and planning, pilot an intern, and brief freelancers effectively to multiply your output.
• Speaker ready: Willingness to represent the company at conferences and events, including on stage or at workshops.
• Languages: English proficiency is mandatory. A second language (German, Dutch, French, etc.) is appreciated.

What's in it for you?

• Direct Impact: Work directly with the CEO to shape your marketing roadmap and priorities from day one.
• Professional Growth: Benefit from mentorship by experienced advisors and the opportunity to grow your role as the company scales.
• Shaping the Industry: Work at the forefront of a new generation of space companies. We’re redefining how the industry operates and setting the standard for the rest.

International Reach

• International Exposure: Represent EDGX at conferences and customer meetings across Europe and occasionally worldwide.
• Startup Culture: Join a fast‑growing spacetech startup with a young, driven team and a dynamic, hands‑on culture.
• Compensation & Benefits: Receive a competitive salary package with extra‑legal benefits, including a company car or mobility budget.
• Team Life: Take part in monthly Wacky Fridays with team events, dinners, and team‑building activities.
• Work‑life Balance: We value your time outside the office, including one work‑from‑home day a week.
• Travel opportunities: The chance to travel as part of the job (conferences, trade shows, international events).
