Director of Marketing
About The Position
At Serko, we believe something incredible happens when people come face-to-face. That’s why we’re on a mission to engineer a frictionless, next-generation business travel marketplace. We don’t just manage travel; we are leveraging advanced AI and cutting-edge tech to eliminate the complexity of global movement. When you join Serko, you join a global collective of passionate technologists who show up as their true selves to build world-class products. With established hubs across New Zealand, Australia, North America, India and China - your code and ideas will impact millions of corporate travelers worldwide. If you're ready to challenge the status quo and build the future of travel tech, your next journey starts here. This is not a traditional marketing role. You will operate as the marketing leader for a new AI-native business, responsible for how Serko.ai is positioned, how it reaches the market, and how it grows from early adopters to scaled adoption. In this role, you will partner with functional marketing leaders across brand, growth, and MarTech, leveraging shared expertise while directing the application of these functions to Serko.ai. You will serve as the primary marketing integrator, ensuring that efforts are coordinated, prioritized, and aligned with your cohesive overall strategy.
