About the Role
The Brand Marketing Manager drives UpGuard’s brand within a dedicated, cross-functional brand and platform stream. You are responsible for building and protecting the brand — defining how UpGuard shows up, sounds, and is understood in the markets — and then coordinating the team and programs that bring it to life. Working at the nexus of your core stream (PMM, Content, Creative, Research) and UpGuard’s Shared Services (Paid Search, PR, Web, Email, Social, Analytics, SEO), you turn brand and platform strategy into consistent, high-impact execution that grows brand awareness, authority, and pipeline. You set the direction and standard for the brand, and you have the project management muscle to make sure the work ships — on time, on message, and on brand.
