• Understand our target audience and personas across markets, cultures, and languages and incorporate our marketing content and offers strategy into tailored demand generation campaigns.  

• Manage and execute on regional events including pre and post activities and measurement.  

• Forecast, measure, analyze, and report on the impact of demand generation activities on new logo and client growth pipeline, revenue, and sales cycle length. Diagnose pipeline generation issues and proactively solve them. Develop and constantly iterate testing plans to identify scalable program improvements to achieve KPIs. Co-manage operational budget for key channels.  

• Utilize our MarTech stack to create the highest efficiency output and adopt new features, functionality, and tools for continued innovation. Consistently bring in new tactics and drive performance through a results-driven experimental approach.  

• Report into the Chief Marketing Officer to continuously review and accurately report on EMEA strategies, performance as well as regional insights and budget management decisions.
