The role

At PhotonFirst, we build the bridge between photonic innovation and real-world impact. Our technologies cover both photonic integrated circuit (PIC) packaging and Fiber Optic sensing, enabling customers to deploy highly reliable systems in some of the world’s most demanding environments; from aerospace and defense to quantum applications.

As the photonics ecosystem is rapidly evolving, both PIC packaging and Fiber Optic sensing are becoming critical enablers for scaling next-generation systems. PhotonFirst is at the forefront of this transition, combining photonics expertise with a pragmatic, engineering-driven approach to bring complex systems into operation.

To strengthen our commercial growth, we are looking for a Deep Tech Marketing Manager to define and execute marketing that clearly positions PhotonFirst across both PIC packaging and Fiber Optic sensing applications, and supports business development with strong messaging, content and lead generation.

Your key activities include:

  • Organize and manage exhibitions, conferences and technical events
  • Support sales and BD with targeted sales materials for key opportunities and accounts
  • Develop high-quality technical content (case studies, whitepapers, application notes, website content)
  • Support distinct value propositions for different markets (e.g. aerospace, defense, industrial, quantum)
  • Manage and optimize website, SEO and digital presence (execution can be supported by external agencies)
  • Set up and manage campaigns, lead flows and basic reporting (e.g. HubSpot)
  • Coordinate external partners (agencies, designers, freelancers) where needed
