The Opportunity
We are seeking a Marketing Director, EMEA to build and lead our marketing efforts across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. This is a critical role supporting our EMEA sales organisation in driving pipeline creation and increasing brand presence in key markets.
This is a people management role leading a small team of marketers. This person is a critical coordination role between regional marketing, sales leaders, partnerships, sales development representatives, and the US-based marketing organization. You’ll own pipeline generation as your primary KPI and be expected to travel at least 30% of your time.
What You'll Do
- Own the EMEA field marketing strategy to drive pipeline growth and across multiple regions and market segments (enterprise, commercial, strategic).
- Partner closely with regional sales leaders to align marketing programs with revenue goals, territory plans, and market dynamics.
- Ensure regional campaigns – digital programs, webinars, regional events, customer roundtables, executive dinners, and trade shows – are aligned with global campaigns, key partners in each country, and sales goals.
- Partner with our campaigns team to mature account-based marketing (ABM) initiatives to engage key target accounts with tailored content, campaigns, and outreach.
- Own regional demand generation goals, track performance, and optimise for pipeline contribution and ROI. Build a culture of trust and accountability that keeps all go-to-market teams working toward shared goals.
- Build strong relationships with regional customers, identifying advocates and amplifying success stories through events and campaigns.
- Manage regional marketing budget, vendors, and agency partners where necessary.
- Provide regular reporting on performance, pipeline influence, and insights from the field.
What You'll Bring
- 10+ years of B2B marketing experience, with at least 5 in field or regional marketing roles for high-growth SaaS or data/analytics companies.
- Proven success partnering with sales teams to drive pipeline and revenue, ideally in a PLG and enterprise sales environment.
- Strong understanding of the EMEA market — cultural, regional, and regulatory nuances across countries and segments.
- Track record of delivering effective demand generation programs using multi-channel approaches.
- Experience running events and marketing programs that move deals forward.
- Strategic mindset with the ability to operate at both a high-level vision and hands-on execution.
- Highly data-driven, comfortable using marketing metrics and KPIs to guide decisions.
- Excellent communication, collaboration, and stakeholder management skills.
- Experience working in fast-paced, remote-first, global teams.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Join a mission-driven, values-led company at the forefront of modern data transformation.
- Be part of a globally distributed, remote-first team where autonomy and collaboration go hand in hand.
- Help build and scale a world-class marketing function across one of our fastest-growing regions.
- Competitive compensation and equity, excellent benefits, and a culture that genuinely supports work-life harmony.

Verify Employer Thoroughly
Research the company's identity thoroughly before applying. Check for a professional website with contacts, active social media, and LinkedIn profiles. Verify details across platforms and look for reviews on Glassdoor or Trustpilot to confirm legitimacy.
Never Pay to Get a Job
Legitimate employers never require payment for applications, training, background checks, or equipment. Always reject upfront payment requests or demands for bank details, even if they claim it's for purchasing necessary work gear on your behalf.
Safeguard Your Personal Information
Protect sensitive data like SSN, bank details, or ID copies. Share this only after accepting a formal, written job offer. Ensure it's submitted via a secure company system or portal, never through insecure channels like standard email attachments.
Scrutinize Communication & Interviews
Watch for communication red flags: poor grammar, generic emails (@gmail), vague details, or undue pressure. Be highly suspicious of interviews held only via text or chat apps; legitimate companies typically use video or phone calls.
Beware of Unrealistic Offers
If an offer's salary or benefits seem unrealistically high for the work involved, be cautious. Research standard pay for similar roles. Offers that appear 'too good to be true' are often scams designed to lure you into providing information or payment.
Insist on a Formal Contract
Always secure and review a formal, written job offer or employment contract before starting work or sharing final personal details. Ensure it clearly defines your role, compensation, key terms, and conditions to avoid misunderstandings or scams.
