Paper Pundits is a fast-moving marketing consultancy that helps early-stage startups in traditional sectors—think construction tech, proptech, and manufacturing technology—get their products and services in front of the right people. We work directly with founders and senior teams to drive growth, boost brand visibility, and refine market fit.
We’re growing fast and looking for our first non-founding hire. This is a unique opportunity to shape our agency’s culture, influence our service offerings, and make a real impact on our growth.
Role overview
This role is for marketers who like variety—the kind who enjoy switching between clients, balancing strategy with execution, and adapting to different challenges. It’s also a chance to get a front-row seat to how startups build, iterate, and grow.
Our clients are early-stage startups where marketing, sales, product, and fundraising are closely linked. You’ll work directly with founders and leadership teams, making sure marketing drives real business impact. More than just delivering campaigns, we act as true partners in their growth—helping them make smarter decisions, avoid common pitfalls, and lay the right foundations for scale.
We’re flexible—if you bring the right mindset and skills, we’ll shape the role around you. If working closely with early-stage startups and making a real impact sounds like your kind of thing, let’s talk.

*Hands-on problem solving – Work closely with startup teams to turn business goals into practical marketing actions.
*Content & communications – Research industry trends, generate LinkedIn post ideas, and write everything from whitepapers to social posts.
*Data & analytics – Track performance, analyse conversion data, assess budgets, and figure out what’s actually working.
*Presentation & reporting – Share results in a clear, actionable way that helps teams make better decisions.
The mindset that fits *Analytical – You look at the numbers, spot patterns, and figure out what to try next.
*People-savvy – You manage clients with confidence, balancing their needs with what actually makes sense.

*We work hard – No fluff, no busywork. When we’re working, we’re fully focused on bringing results. If something isn’t working, we fix it—fast.
*We love our job – We thrive on the excitement of entrepreneurs bringing new ideas to life. We love the aha moment after staring at an Excel sheet for two hours and spotting the pattern. We love learning about new innovations and helping turn them into success stories.
