Head of Marketing

Oxford Data Plan (ODP) is a SaaS business providing alternative data tracking platforms to institutional investors, including hedge funds and asset managers. In September 2026 ODP was named one of 25 companies in Tech Nation's Future Fifty cohort, the UK programme for high-growth tech scaleups. We operate across the UK, US and UAE, with a growing operations and back-office team in the Philippines. This is a scale-up environment: processes are still being built, and this role will shape many of them.

The Head of Marketing owns how ODP is known, understood and chosen by institutional investors. You will lead the existing marketing team, run a balanced programme across brand, product marketing and demand generation, and make marketing a measurable contributor to pipeline and revenue.
