About Wolk
At Wolk, we're on an exciting mission to create meaningful change
through the power of data & AI. We are a young, growing company
aiming to accelerate sustainable innovation with modern data solutions.
We partner with forward-thinking companies that contribute to a more
sustainable future. For more info, check out our website: https://www.wolk.work/.
Launching Databaas
We're also building Databaas, a European data & AI platform. Built on
open standards and running on any EU cloud, it's the alternative to
Databricks and Microsoft Fabric that Europe hasn't had until now. More

What we are looking for
We're looking for a hands-on Marketing Lead to own and build the
Databaas brand and go-to-market. This isn't purely a strategic role,
you'll be building the engine as you go, with a clear path to growth
in the organisation as the company scales.
In this role, you will:
- Own brand strategy and positioning of Databaas as the trustworthy, credible choice for a European data platform
- Uphold the Databaas tone of voice and visual identity across all our social channels
- Work closely with our founders and a marketing junior to set direction together and get things done
- Execute campaigns end-to-end: turn our brand story and funnel strategy into a content calendar, write copy, coordinate with team members and external partners, and get it out the door
- Coordinate PR and thought-leadership opportunities: build relationships with journalists and media covering digital autonomy, and position our founders as the voices to call for this topic
- Brief and manage a performance marketing agency covering paid social, SEO/SEA, and retargeting
This role is for you if:
- You have a minimum of 3 years experience in branding or marketing, ideally in B2B Enterprise Technology environments
- You're entrepreneurial: comfortable in setting direction, coming up with creative ideas and turning them into reality, briefing agencies, and making budget decisions without a detailed playbook to follow
- You are comfortable with Data and AI (our bread and butter): you know your way around basic marketing metrics and know how to utilise AI technology to your advantage without giving in on quality
- You're happy getting your hands "dirty" yourself, not just directing others
- You can turn technical topics into simple, sharp stories that land with both technical and non-technical audiences
- You have an affinity for sustainability, tech, or digital autonomy. You don't need to be an expert, but the topic should genuinely interest you
- You're a strong writer and communicator, fluent in Dutch and English
- You're willing to work from our office in Utrecht a few times a week
We believe that confidence gaps and imposter syndrome can deter talented people from applying. Even if you don't tick all the boxes but are excited about our mission - we'd love to hear from you!
What we offer:
- Genuine impact: your work directly contributes to sustainability, social change and a digitally autonomous Europe
- 35 vacation days, plus the ability to work from abroad a few weeks a year
- €4.000 - €5.000 gross monthly salary, depending on experience
- The latest MacBook and all the tools you need to succeed
- Unlimited access to your AI tool of choice
- Flexible working: a mix of in-office and remote work
- A beautiful office in the Werkspoorfabriek in Utrecht
- Your own NS business card
- Ownership: You get to shape a brand from its early days, with real autonomy
- A clear path to grow into our Head of Marketing as the team and company scale
- Regular team trips, borrels, events, and amazing havercappu's ☕
