Sales & Marketing Associate

Lindholmen, Gothenburg (Hybrid) Scope: 50%, with strong potential to grow into full-time as the role and company develop Contract: 1 year to start, with good opportunities for extension Start: As soon as possible

About us

Cyber Instincts is a Gothenburg-based cybersecurity consultancy working at the forefront of cybersecurity and AI, together with our group companies FutureSpex (cybersecurity and AI training/certification) and UltraDefy (AI strategy and governance). We're a small, fast-moving team, which means this role comes with real ownership from day one rather than a narrow, predefined lane.

About the role

We're looking for a Sales & Marketing Associate to help build our market presence, generate new business opportunities, and drive our continued growth. This is a broad, cross-functional role that spans sales, business development, marketing, and event representation — so you'll need to be comfortable moving between strategic thinking and hands-on execution from day one. This is a role ideal for someone who enjoys combining sales, marketing, networking, and business-driving activities — and who's comfortable figuring out how to get there, not just executing a fixed playbook.

We're intentionally not looking for someone who waits for detailed instructions. Our processes are still evolving, so you'll be expected to spot gaps, bring your own ideas to the table, and take initiative on what "good" looks like — working closely with the team, but driving your own area independently.
