Head of Partner Marketing & Communications (Automotive & Gaming)

The Job

About N-Dream And AirConsole

N-Dream is the technology company behind AirConsole, the casual - local gaming platform that has redefined how people play together on any screen and has brought gaming to cars. We bring games like Uno, Pac-Man or Tetris to partners like BMW, VW, Audi, Porsche, and Škoda. Now we want to take partner marketing to the next level.

The role

We’re hiring a Head of Partner Marketing & Communications to own our next wave of OEM partnerships; from onboarding to long-term activation and defining and executing a practical strategy to increase our visibility beyond Europe to the USA and Asian market. Your goal is to build relationships with marketing teams at these automotive / OEM partners and turn those relationships into real activations that drive discovery and usage. Think partner social campaigns, newsletter placements, dealership presence, events and coordinated PR moments.

This is a startup/SME role: You will lead a small but broad team: a Marketing Manager and Marketing Intern who own the existing relationships day-to-day and keep the broader marketing operation running. Your job is to set direction and maintain quality, while keeping focus on your own deliverables.

What You’ll Own

• All incoming new OEM partners: relationship, joint marketing plan, activations, and long term visibility
• Develop repeatable partner activation playbooks that make partners look innovative and make AirConsole shine
• Own partner storytelling and messaging: help partners communicate the “why” and “what’s new” clearly and brand-safely
• Own budget planning and allocation across partner activations, content, PR support, and experiments
• Leverage our stakeholders (PR agency, Audio Visual agency, designer, and others) to maxime reach for launches and announcements
• Drive hands-on execution when needed: briefs, copy, toolkits, content direction, internal alignment
• Lead and develop your team (Marketing Manager + Marketing Intern): prioritization, delegation, coaching, quality control
• Define and execute a visibility strategy for the USA and Asia (channels, narratives, partnerships, and a realistic plan)

What We’re Looking For (must-have)

• Experience in a startup/SME or other high-ownership environment (limited resources, fast iteration)
• Proven B2B relationship building: you’ve influenced external partner stakeholders to take action
• Strong marketing fundamentals and execution (campaigns, messaging, communications, partner-ready assets)
• Strategic thinking combined with hands-on delivery: you ship, not only manage
• Strong English communication (written and verbal)
• A structured working style to manage multiple parallel workstreams
• Able to work on-site in Zurich
• Willing to travel and work on the ground to find the right opportunities and people

Nice to have

• German language skills
• Automotive, gaming, consumer tech, or platform experience
• Experience working with outsourced services providers and approvals layers with legal implications
• Experience expanding visibility into the USA and/or Asia

What Success Looks Like

• Partners actively promote AirConsole through repeatable activations (not one-off announcements)
• Strong champions exist in partner marketing teams (not only procurement or engineering)
• You are a trusted point of contact inside each new partner's marketing team
• A clear narrative that makes partners look innovative and helps AirConsole stand out
• Increased visibility and inbound interest, especially in the USA and Asia
• The marketing team ships consistently with a clear quality bar and cadence

If you don’t meet every requirement, we still encourage you to apply. We care most about ownership, judgment, and your ability to get partners to take action.
