MarketingHybridEmployment contractDirector
Description
A premium consumer-goods brand is hiring a Marketing Director to lead their European go-to-market. You'll own brand, performance, and product marketing across six countries, leading a team of nine and an eight-figure annual budget.
The brand is at the point where instinct alone isn't enough anymore. We need someone who treats marketing as both craft and commercial discipline — someone who can defend a brand investment with hard numbers and a creative idea with equal confidence.
Responsibilities
- Set and own the multi-channel marketing strategy across European markets, from awareness through conversion to retention.
- Lead a team of nine across brand, performance, content, and partnerships — including hiring, developing, and (when needed) parting ways with senior marketers.
- Manage an eight-figure annual marketing budget with clear ROI accountability and quarterly board-level reporting.
- Partner with sales and product to align messaging, launch plans, and category storytelling.
- Own quarterly OKRs and monthly performance reviews with the executive team, defending the marketing plan with hard numbers.
- Represent the brand at industry events and in the press as the senior external face of marketing.
Requirements
- 10+ years in senior marketing roles, including 3+ at director level with full P&L exposure.
- Proven track record scaling consumer brands across multiple European markets — not just one home market.
- Hands-on experience with both brand and performance disciplines; you don't outsource your understanding of either.
- Strong commercial acumen and confident with the metrics that finance cares about.
- Experience hiring, developing, and managing senior marketing leaders.
- Fluent English; additional European languages a strong plus.
- Nice to have: exposure to premium or luxury consumer brands, experience launching into new European markets, background in retail or DTC distribution.
