Vortexa operates in markets where trust, credibility, and relationships directly influence who gets listened to, invited in, and ultimately chosen.

The Head of Community and Market Engagement owns how Vortexa shows up across our most important markets — through events, experiences, analyst engagement, and media relationships. This role turns market presence into a commercial advantage, supporting pipeline growth while strengthening Vortexa’s reputation as a trusted authority across energy, freight, and financial markets. It balances expanding Vortexa’s market universe with clear contribution across the commercial funnel, from early engagement through to pipeline influence and deal support.

This is a senior, visible role with global scope. It combines strategic leadership with hands-on ownership and sits at the intersection of brand, revenue, and market credibility.
