Our client works closely with their sales and customer success colleagues to help them to strengthen their relationships with their customers and showcase the value of partnering with them. They are looking to add a strong senior marketing manager to the DACH team to lead events programmes critical to the success of the region. This role offers an exciting opportunity to bring together talent leaders from strategically important accounts in the region, gain insight into the business and build meaningful relationships with their DACH team.

This role offers a hybrid work option, meaning you can both work from home and commute to the office, depending on what’s best for you and when it is important for your team to be together.

 Responsibilities:

•  Project manage the execution of a number of events, manage the working group across workstreams and create alignment on desired outcomes with the DACH leadership team. Delivery should showcase insights, the value of solutions, enable sales to make meaningful connections with their customers and create long term value for customers and the business.
• Quickly and consistently develop relationships, credibility, and influence with internal colleagues, cross-functional stakeholders and speakers.
• Create impactful customer and internal comms to drive behaviour/action. 
• Contingency planning for all eventualities throughout events.

•  You are a great project manager, have an eye for detail and an experienced executive level communicator.
•  You can prep, plan, brief, execute and report on customer events working closely with an agency.
•  You're comfortable with chaos. You excel at managing expectations, identifying, articulating, and achieving alternative solutions when changes arise, and maintain the flexibility to navigate simultaneous demands and projects.
•  You're eager to learn and evolve. You work alongside people who are better than you at some things. To you, this isn't a threat but an inspiring opportunity to learn and grow.

You're someone who tirelessly promotes a culture of respect, helpfulness, possibility, and inclusivity so everyone can do the best work of their career and enjoy the process of doing it.
•  You're a fantastic communicator. Your communication skills help you work in cross-functional workstreams across dispersed stakeholders within a complex, matrixed ecosystem.
•  You have a bias for action. You're happy to roll up your sleeves and muck in. No task is too big (or small). You equally lean into gathering information, generating options, then proposing and acting on a course of action.
•  You have an innovative and flexible mindset. You're always looking for unique and memorable ways to connect our teams and clients and deliver best-in-class work and experiences.
