Head of Marketing

About Us

Flagsmith is on a mission to empower teams to ship faster and continuously improve their products. We are a profitable, bootstrapped, innovative company focused on delivering an amazing open source alternative to larger venture-backed companies. It’s important for us to continue to build an amazing company while being in control of our destiny – profitability and sustainability are key in today’s world

We’re fuelled by our customer growth, which comes from helping larger teams take control of their release processes. We work across all industries but have the biggest impact on high-risk environments like financial services, healthcare, telecommunications, and high-tech manufacturing. We’ve built trust with our customers, as made evident by our best-in-class net retention rates

Our team spans multiple continents and is 100% remote, with deep roots in engineering and a strong focus on product quality, simplicity, and community. We are filled with team members who have been searching to have impact and a larger scope, not just being a cog at a large organisation
