Head of Marketing

Life Scientific is not a traditional agriculture company.

We are a science company operating in agriculture.

A team of chemists, regulatory experts and operators who take complex molecules and bring them back to market with precision, efficiency and deep scientific rigour.

Our work sits at the intersection of science, regulation, agriculture and commercial strategy. We operate globally. Our products are sophisticated. Our people are exceptionally sharp.

And yet, if we are honest, we remain relatively under the radar.

That is about to change.

We are looking for someone to build Life Scientific’s brand from the ground up.

Not just campaigns. Not just messaging.

But the story, identity and presence of a disruptive company that has quietly been doing remarkable work for years.

The Role

This is a CMO-shaped role for a builder.

Someone who sees the opportunity to create a brand where none really exists today. Someone who can translate deep science into something clear, compelling and commercially powerful.

You will work closely with the leadership team to position Life Scientific as the intelligent disruptor in our category.

· Part strategist.

· Part storyteller.

· Part growth operator.

Your job is simple to describe and hard to do:

Make Life Scientific visible, distinctive and impossible to ignore.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

1. Building the Brand

· Life Scientific needs a brand that matches the sophistication of its science.

· You will define and build our identity, positioning and story, shaping how we show up across digital, industry and media.

· The ambition is clear: a brand that feels more tech meets agriculture than traditional ag-chem.

2. Turning Insight into Growth

· You will connect brand with commercial reality.

· Driving demand, visibility, engagement and category influence, with a clear link to performance.

· You are as comfortable with metrics and pipeline as you are with storytelling.

3. Creating a Digital-First Presence

· The companies shaping the future of agriculture are building influence, not just products.

· You will lead a modern digital approach across content, thought leadership, automation and performance.

· Our ambition is to become one of the most interesting and respected voices in our space.

4. Activating the Brand in the Real World

· Brand does not live in a slide deck.

· You will bring Life Scientific to life across events, partnerships, launches and media, creating moments where people stop and think: “I didn’t expect that from a company like this.”

5. Building a Marketing Function for the Future

· Marketing at Life Scientific is still early.

· You will build the structure, tools and capability to support our next phase of growth, ensuring marketing is tightly connected to commercial outcomes, with a smart, scrappy approach and a bias for using tools and systems to punch above our weight.

The Kind of Person We’re Looking For

This role is not about ticking boxes. It is about how you think and operate. You are:

· A builder - Energised by creating something from scratch.

· Strategic and practical - Comfortable moving between big ideas and execution.

· Commercially sharp - You understand markets, customers and growth.

· Creatively brave - You push beyond safe, predictable marketing.

· Data literate - You connect brand with performance.

· Curious - You enjoy turning complex science into clear, compelling stories.

Industry experience is not essential.
What matters more is your ability to bring fresh thinking into a complex, regulated space.

Why This Role Is Interesting

Life Scientific is at a moment where the next chapter of the company is being written.

We have:

· A strong scientific foundation, with over 100 employees

· A global footprint, operating in circa 20 countries

· A growing, high-quality product portfolio

· >50% 5 YR CAGR. We are a business with significant ambition

For the right person, it is an opportunity to build the brand of a global science company from a relatively blank canvas.

Location

Based in Dublin, Ireland, with regular travel to connect with our global teams and industry events.

Final Thought

Life Scientific has spent years doing exceptional work, quietly.

We are ready for someone who can help us tell that story properly.

If you are excited by the idea of turning a brilliant, under-the-radar company into a visible, distinctive and influential brand, we would love to talk.
