Chief Marketing Officer (CMO)

Avolution is a leading global SaaS company providing enterprise-architecture software (ABACUS) to enterprise and government organisations in approximately ten countries. With ARR of around AUD $17 million and a target of $100 million ARR within five years, Avolution is now building the marketing capability needed to drive scale.

Historically, around 60 percent of new business has originated through marketing-sourced channels — predominantly inbound website leads, supported by events, partners, and referrals. This demonstrates strong brand pull but limited automation and repeatable marketing systems.

We are seeking a hands-on, commercially-minded Chief Marketing Officer to design and lead Avolution’s global marketing engine. This leader will implement HubSpot Marketing Hub from the ground up, integrate it with Salesforce, and develop the programs, content, and analytics required to deliver a predictable, data-driven pipeline contributing 40–50 percent of all new ARR.
