• Support both B2B and Growth Marketing across the region—aligning commercial needs, sales enablement, and customer engagement.
• Ensure global B2B2C strategies can be executed effectively in-region, navigating compliance, product, regulatory, and language considerations.
• Lead and develop a small, high-performing regional marketing team focused on execution, localisation, and in-country impact.
• Act as an orchestrator and connector—balancing consistency across Europe with the nuanced needs of individual markets.

Success in this role requires strategic vision, exceptional collaboration, and the ability to influence across a matrixed global environment.

• Experience leading marketing programs across countries and cultures, ideally in B2B, B2B2C, and/or D2C environments.
• Excellent collaboration skills and a solutions-oriented mindset, with the ability to navigate ambiguity and drive alignment.
• Strong communication, organisational, and project management capabilities.
• Experience working within a fast-paced, matrixed environment.
• Fluency in English and proficiency in the local language.
