Job description

Associate Partner – Marketing Technology

London | Hybrid | Senior Consulting / MarTech Leadership

We’re working with a leading customer experience and marketing technology consultancy that is looking to hire an Associate Partner within its Marketing Technology practice.

This is a senior, client-facing consulting role with a strong focus on pre-sales, solution consulting, proposition development and practice growth.

You’ll work with major enterprise organisations to understand their customer, marketing, data and technology challenges and translate them into commercially viable MarTech strategies and solutions.

The role would suit someone who combines strong Marketing Technology domain knowledge with consulting and commercial experience. You don't need to be a hands-on developer or architect, but you will need enough technical depth to confidently lead senior client conversations and shape complex enterprise solutions.

What you'll be doing

• Build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders across Marketing, CRM, Customer Experience, Data and Technology
• Lead discovery sessions to understand clients' business, customer and technology challenges
• Translate requirements into compelling MarTech strategies, solutions and transformation roadmaps
• Lead pre-sales engagements from initial discovery through solution definition, proposal, pitch and close
• Shape propositions, Statements of Work and commercial proposals for complex engagements
• Lead and contribute to RFP responses, pitches and proposals
• Identify opportunities to grow existing accounts and develop new consulting engagements
• Work with clients on commercials, scope and costing
• Shape enterprise solutions spanning CRM, Customer Engagement, CDP, Personalisation, Journey Orchestration and Analytics
• Provide senior-level expertise across the wider Marketing Technology landscape
• Advise clients on the selection and effective use of MarTech platforms based on their business and customer requirements
• Understand how CEP, CDP, analytics and customer data technologies fit together within the broader enterprise ecosystem
• Articulate the data foundations required to deliver effective customer experiences through modern engagement platforms
• Work closely with architects, strategists, analysts, developers and implementation specialists to ensure proposed solutions are technically deliverable and commercially viable
• Maintain a strong connection between the client's original challenge, the proposed solution and successful delivery

Practice & Proposition Development

• Work with the leadership team to develop the MarTech proposition and go-to-market strategy
• Identify emerging client needs and help develop new consulting propositions
• Build productive relationships with strategic Marketing Technology vendors
• Work collaboratively with vendor sales, solution and partnership teams on relevant opportunities
• Identify joint go-to-market and co-sell opportunities
• Stay abreast of developments across the Marketing Technology landscape and help evolve the consultancy's propositions accordingly

Client & Delivery Leadership

• Act as a senior trusted adviser throughout the lifecycle of client engagements
• Provide senior oversight across selected CRM, MarTech, CDP and analytics programmes
• Maintain strong senior client relationships and ensure programmes remain aligned to strategic objectives
• Work across consulting and delivery teams to maintain continuity from strategy and solution design through implementation
• Act as a senior escalation point across strategically important engagements
• Identify opportunities to provide additional value to existing clients
• Represent the MarTech practice in senior client, industry and technology partner conversations

What we're looking for

You’ll have significant experience within a consultancy, agency, systems integrator or Marketing Technology organisation, together with a strong understanding of the enterprise MarTech landscape.

Ideally, you’ll bring:

• A strong track record in pre-sales, solution consulting, proposition development and pitching
• Experience shaping and helping to win significant CRM, MarTech, customer data or digital transformation programmes
• Experience costing complex engagements and discussing commercials with senior clients
• Broad expertise across CRM, Customer Engagement, Marketing Technology, CDP and Customer Data
• Strong knowledge of enterprise Marketing Technology platforms, potentially including Adobe, Braze, Bloomreach or similar technologies
• Strong understanding of Customer Data Platforms, customer data architecture, personalisation and journey orchestration
• An understanding of digital and customer analytics and associated implementation programmes
• Experience engaging credibly with C-suite and senior Marketing, CRM, Data and Technology stakeholders
• A commercially minded approach with the ability to identify and convert consulting opportunities
• The ability to bridge the gap between business strategy, customer experience, data and technology

You do not need to be a hands-on developer or Solution Architect. However, you’ll need sufficient technical depth to understand complex enterprise MarTech environments, challenge proposed solutions and confidently take clients from discovery through solution design and proposal.

About You

You’ll be a strong communicator and presenter who is comfortable operating at senior client level.

You’ll be collaborative, commercially minded and comfortable working across multidisciplinary teams, multiple clients and complex opportunities.

Most importantly, you’ll be someone who can combine MarTech expertise, consulting credibility and commercial acumen rather than sitting purely within strategy, sales or technical delivery.

The Opportunity

This is an opportunity to join an established and growing Marketing Technology consultancy in a genuinely influential position.

You’ll have the opportunity to shape major enterprise MarTech programmes, develop propositions, build strategic technology relationships and play a significant role in the continued growth of the practice.

The role is London-based with hybrid working, combining time with colleagues and clients with the flexibility to work remotely.

A competitive senior-level package, performance-related bonus, pension and wider benefits are available.
