Our mission is to empower the learning journeys of millions of people around the world and take our growth to the next level. To help us succeed we are looking for an experienced, energetic and creative Product Marketing Lead. Your mission will be to make our product story, positioning and proposition clear, compelling and inspiring to our core audiences.
Does this sound like you?
Let’s talk!
At aNewSpring, we do everything we can to make learning fun and effective. Our software for professional educators helps them create beautiful, effective and varied Learning Journeys. We work with a no-nonsense approach and believe in open, positive and respectful collaboration.
This approach allows us to continuously improve and offer our customers a better experience. And it also leads to super happy employees. How do we know? We ask them how they experience their work and what we can improve on a weekly basis. And we actually act on their suggestions.
We’ve grown from a small start-up to a fast-growing SaaS company over the past ten years, with thousands of customers and even more satisfied students. We are a Dutch company, based in Rotterdam, with offices and partners in our main regions (UK, Australia and South Africa).
In our mission to empower the learning journeys of millions of people around the world, we need to convince as many professional training providers as possible to pick us as their learning platform. To get there we need to be at the top of our marketing game, including product marketing as a vital part of the engine.
That’s where you come in! It’ll be your mission to take the wonderfully versatile capabilities and features of our learning platform and boil it down to a clear and compelling offer that perfectly matches the reality of our ideal customer. And you make sure that product messaging and comms are consistent and spot on across the board, both internally and externally on every channel. But that’s just the beginning!
By constantly talking to our customers, you know exactly what keeps them up at night and what makes them tick. You are the go-to person in the organisation for customer insights and you actively feed them to the product, marketing and leadership team to make sure those insights are at the center of the decision-making process.
This is a new role at aNewSpring. This means that you’ll have a lot of room to shape the role and the product marketing vision and strategy in close collaboration with leadership.
In a nutshell everything that relates to how we communicate our product to our market(s) will be your responsibility. Being the go-to person for customer and market insights in our product team, you’ll also play an important role in shaping our product vision, roadmap and go-to-market strategy. Your responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
No worries. Online training is our core business remember?
We have built our systems and processes entirely on remote working. We have a ‘Preboarding Learning Journey’ about our culture and methods. Plus an online onboarding programme which we complete together.
Take Hilde, who started with us in October 2020 as our Campaign Marketeer: “When Covid took off for a second spin, I started working at aNewSpring. So I was onboarded completely from home and got to know the organisation like that.
The onboarding went very well, help was offered on many sides and everyone takes the time to help you grow. I was consciously sought out and everyone shared their enthusiasm about the organisation and worked extremely hard on a beautiful platform.
After the induction period, colleagues are happy to help. For me it feels like a warm bath and I think it speaks for the organisation that you get a lot of appreciation for the work you do. Everyone is deemed important and you really feel that. The atmosphere in the company is very inviting and friendly!”

Within Marketing and Sales we work as a team and we want to approach everyone who comes into contact with aNewSpring with a positive, no-nonsense and open attitude. That makes us happy, and them too.
The entire aNewSpring team is very close. Despite working remotely, we remain a real team. We all strive not only to bring in new customers, but also to inspire our current customers and let them share in our successes.
