One group. Four specialized companies. 0 marketing fluff.

At Playground Group, we don’t do generic corporate chatter. Over the last few years, we’ve grown into a 120-person strong collective of high-craft builders across Playground Consulting, Tech, Dev, and Data. We help some of Sweden’s most ambitious brands navigate everything from AI engineering and cloud architecture to complex data platforms and management consulting.

Here’s the reality: we’ve built an incredible tech engine, but we’ve never had a dedicated lead for marketing and communications.

Until now.

We are looking for a Marketing & Communications Lead (B2B) to step in, own the canvas, and build our group-wide marketing function from scratch. Reporting directly to our Head of Sales, you’ll be the bridge between technical excellence, partner ecosystems, and real-world business development.

No 50-page strategy decks that sit in a drawer. No bureaucratical sign-off chains. Just sharp positioning, high-impact partner campaigns, and B2B marketing that actually moves the needle.

What you’ll do

This is a solo-role with strategic weight and full execution freedom. You won't be managing an internal army. You’re an agile operator who owns the strategy, executes hands-on, and brings in external agencies or freelancers when you need extra muscle.

Your days will be split across four core focus areas:

• Sales-Supporting Activities (Priority #1): You’ll drive activities that directly support Sales, often together with our tech partners (AWS, Microsoft, Google Cloud, etc., like breakfast seminars, technical panels, and co-marketed B2B campaigns that build pipeline and move deals forward. You know how to unlock partner budgets (MDF) along the way, but the goal is always sales impact, not the funding itself

• B2B Brand Packaging & Web: You’ll package our (AI Dev, Cloud Tech, Data Platforms, and Strategy/Managment Consulting) technical capabilities into clear, compelling offerings. You’ll own our web presence and define how we sound to decision-makers without losing the deep craft our engineers pride themselves on

• Organic Content & Social: You’ll drive our organic channels, particularly LinkedIn. You’ll arm our sales leads, Key Account Managers, Founders, and Product Owners with the narratives, case studies, and content they need to open doors

• Internal & Employer Branding (Comms): You’ll keep our 120+ colleagues aligned across our companies, making sure our internal voice matches our external positioning. And no, going with "We're like a family!" does not cut it

Who you are (and who you’re NOT)

We want that rare hybrid: a strategic brand thinker who still loves opening up a blank document and writing sharp copy.

You’re a fit if:

• You have 5–10+ years of B2B marketing experience, ideally within tech, IT consulting, or fast-paced B2B environments. (Medior or Senior—we adapt the scope to your seniority)

• You know how B2B sales cycles work. You see marketing as a growth partner to sales, not a silo that produces pretty flyers nobody uses

• You’ve run partner marketing & offline events. You know how MDF budgets work, and you can take an event concept from a napkin sketch to a room full of CTOs and tech leads

• You write crisp English and Swedish. You know how to translate complex technical concepts into punchy, human narratives

• You know how to direct external agencies. You’re comfortable buying specialized help (design, performance, PR) when production demands it

Who this role is NOT for:

• Empire Builders: If you require a team of 5 junior marketers underneath you to get work done, you’ll be frustrated here. This is a hands-on builder role

• Paid-Media Addicts: If your main playbook is burning 500k SEK a month on Google Ads, this isn’t it. Our focus is organic B2B authority, PR, events, and partner ecosystems

• Corporate Buzzword Enthusiasts: We don't do "synergistic paradigm shifts." If you can't explain a concept simply, it won't pass here

Why you, why now?

• A Blank Canvas: You get to build the marketing voice for a 120-person, high-growth group from the ground up, with full trust from leadership.

• High Craft, Low Ego: You’ll sit at Gamla Brogatan 27 in central Stockholm alongside brilliant, humble engineers, consultants, and leaders who genuinely care about what they build.

• Direct Impact: Your work directly helps our team win new clients, launch new products, and position Playground as a top-tier tech powerhouse in the Nordics.

• Freedom with Accountability: We care about outcomes, not hours spent in a swivel chair.
