France – Simaero, a Paris-headquartered global pilot training group operating five full flight simulator training centers across France, South Africa, China, and India, is seeking to recruit a Growth & Marketing Operations Manager to build a modern, performance-driven marketing function as the company expands its network and commercial ambitions.

• The newly created role will own the performance of Simaero's marketing funnel across both B2B airline customers and B2C individual pilot training segments, reporting directly to the Marketing & Communications Director from the company's Tremblay-en-France office near Paris.
• The role also encompasses co-ownership of Simaero's pilot community strategy, end-to-end marketing for pilot-facing events, and close alignment with the commercial team to ensure marketing translates into pipeline opportunities.

Coordinate the team and agencies with clear directives to ensure consistent campaign execution across touchpoints, manage budget allocation across channels and report on ROI.
• New Segment Development: Build the go-to-market approach for a new offer addressing young pilots: segment definition, partnership outreach to flight schools, content and campaign strategy, and lead capture setup.
• Community & Events Marketing: Co-own the pilot community strategy with the content specialist. Lead the end-to-end marketing strategy for online and onsite pilot-facing events from promotion and registration flow to post-event nurturing sequences, with clear acquisition or retention objectives for each.
• Performance Review & Continuous Improvement: Consolidate data from all campaigns, channels, and funnels into a clear monthly reporting view presented to the Marketing Director. Drive a test-and-learn culture across all initiatives, systematically documenting what works, killing what doesn't, and feeding findings back into the next campaign, automation, or event cycle.
