Who are we?

At UpGuard, we are replacing manual security bottlenecks with AI-driven precision. Fresh off a US$75M Series C, we are scaling our infrastructure to process 100 billion risk signals daily. This isn’t just growth; it’s a total reimagining of how the world manages cyber risk.

We build the Cyber Risk Posture Management (CRPM) platform that security teams actually love. By integrating security ratings, threat intel, and agentic AI, we empower organisations to stay ahead of an ever evolving attack surface.

We aren’t just building another tool; we’re defining a category. We provide the autonomy to ship world-class technology and the resources to do it at a global scale.

Where does this role fit in?

We are seeking a Marketing Business Operations Manager to own the marketing budget process end-to-end and act as the operational backbone of the marketing team.

This role goes beyond coordination and support, you'll independently design and drive process and systems improvements, own the team's work management platform, and lead change management for new ways of working across marketing.

It's best suited to someone who already operates with real ownership and is ready to bring that judgment to a fast-moving marketing organisation.
