Introduction
The Senior Field Marketing Manager will design and execute regional marketing strategies that align with our corporate demand generation initiatives, while also considering the unique budgets, skills, and capabilities of our top partners. The goal: to scale pipeline growth efficiently. This role demands a proactive, data-driven mindset to make informed decisions and drive results.
Collaboration with field sales leaders is essential. While global campaigns will help generate pipeline, the Field Marketing Manager is responsible for ensuring local execution that goes above and beyond to exceed regional pipeline coverage targets. You’ll also play a key role in providing feedback to corporate campaign leaders, ensuring global programs are optimized for success in the Nordics. You’ll have the authority to adapt or decline global initiatives to better suit the region's needs.
A critical focus for this role is orchestrating account-based marketing (ABM) strategies for key target accounts and customers. Working closely with the business development team, the Field Marketing Manager will help execute account plans and develop engagement cadences to drive growth and success across all regional marketing efforts.
Please note that this is Fixed Term Contract (1 year - maternity cover)
