Vilnius | ROCKIT

ROCKIT is Lithuania’s leading startup and innovation platform. We bring together startups, investors, corporates and ecosystem partners to help ambitious early-stage teams grow, connect and turn ideas into scalable businesses.

Our next challenge? Making sure the right founders, investors and partners hear about it, want to be part of it and choose ROCKIT as the place to connect, grow and discover opportunities.

That's where you come in.

Your mission

We're looking for a strategic, creative and hands-on Communications & Marketing Lead who can see the big picture, connect the dots and turn our activities into compelling stories, campaigns and experiences that make ROCKIT the place where startups, investors and ecosystem partners want to be. Communication will remain at the heart of the role, but you'll also take ownership of selected ROCKIT ecosystem events that sit outside our funded projects. Depending on the period, event-related work may make up to around one-third of the role.

What you'll do:

• Own ROCKIT's communication strategy and calendar. Keep a helicopter view of everything happening across our startup programs, community, investor activities, partnerships and events.

• Make us stand out. Help ROCKIT cut through the noise of a competitive startup ecosystem with a distinctive voice, fresh ideas and campaigns people actually notice.

• Turn communication into growth. Create campaigns that attract high-quality startups to our acceleration programs, engage investors, generate qualified leads and build demand for what we offer.

• Tell stories worth sharing. Find compelling angles in startup achievements, founder journeys, investment milestones, partnerships, international opportunities and everything happening in our community.

• Own selected ROCKIT ecosystem events. For events that do not belong to a specific project, you may be the person taking them from idea to delivery: shaping the concept, objective, audience and agenda; sourcing speakers and partners; coordinating communication and practical preparation; and making sure the event creates value for the ecosystem and strengthens ROCKIT's positioning. For project-owned events, you'll support the project manager with message, content, speakers and promotion.

• Think beyond social media. Use PR, newsletters, websites, video, partnerships, events and creative campaigns to reach founders, investors and other key audiences.

• Think big, execute hands-on. Take communication projects from idea to delivery, personally creating content, writing copy, producing visuals, managing channels and launching campaigns. Use AI and digital tools to work smarter, move faster and deliver great results with lean resources.

• Measure what matters. Look beyond likes and impressions to understand how communication contributes to awareness, engagement, program applications, investor interest and qualified leads.

You'll be a great fit if you:

• Have solid experience in communications, marketing or PR, ideally in an agency environment managing multiple clients, campaigns or stakeholders.

• Think strategically and execute hands-on. You're comfortable turning ideas into campaigns, content and measurable results.

• Are comfortable working in a matrix organisation, balancing multiple priorities, deadlines and stakeholders.

• Have excellent writing and storytelling skills in both Lithuanian and English.

• Know how to build effective campaigns and create content that reaches and engages the right audiences.

• Are a strong content creator. You can write engaging copy, create visuals, produce simple videos and manage digital channels independently.

• Are confident using AI and digital tools to create content, streamline workflows and improve productivity.

• Enjoy bringing people and ideas together. You're comfortable engaging speakers and partners, and can take ownership of an ecosystem event from concept to delivery.

• Understand how to communicate with different audiences, from ambitious founders to experienced investors and business leaders, have a strong sense of contemporary culture and trends, and are proactive, resourceful and comfortable taking ownership.

Experience in the startup, venture capital or innovation ecosystem is a plus, but curiosity, marketing instinct and the ability to get things done matter more.

What you'll find at ROCKIT

Our work is part of a bigger mission: helping Lithuania's startup ecosystem grow by supporting ambitious founders and helping them access the right opportunities, markets and capital.

You'll have the opportunity to shape how ROCKIT is perceived, work closely with founders, investors and industry leaders, and contribute to the next generation of Lithuanian startup success stories.

This is a role with real ownership, room for creativity and the opportunity to make a visible impact.

We look forward to your application at 22.11.2026 the latest.

Send us your CV or LinkedIn profile, together with 2–3 examples of campaigns or communication projects you've led, including content you've personally created.

And tell us briefly: If you had to make ROCKIT the first place ambitious startups want to grow and investors want to discover promising founders, where would you start?

If you are to be employed in Lithuania, please note that the salary offered for this position ranges from 2,950–4,450 € gross i.e. before taxes. Read more here.
