About the Role

We’re looking for a strategic and commercially driven Lead, Growth & Demand Generation (B2B) to drive full‑funnel marketing performance across a global portfolio of brands.

In this role, you’ll own the development and execution of scalable demand generation strategies that directly contribute to qualified pipeline and revenue. Acting as a key leader within a global marketing function, you will partner closely with brand, regional marketing, and sales teams to deliver measurable growth outcomes across multiple markets.

You’ll lead end‑to‑end digital demand generation initiatives—spanning paid media, automation, SEO, CRO, and website optimisation - ensuring consistent global strategy while enabling local market agility. With a strong focus on performance, you’ll optimise campaigns, enhance conversion journeys, and drive ROI through data‑led decision making and advanced attribution models.

As a leader, you will coach and develop a high‑performing team of growth and demand specialists across regions (including ANZ, Asia, Europe and MEA), embedding best practice, accountability, and continuous optimisation across all channels.

This is a highly visible role where you’ll act as a centre of excellence for growth and demand generation - bringing together strategy, execution, and innovation to build a unified, high‑impact demand engine.

• Deep expertise across paid media, marketing automation, lead nurturing, SEO, and digital performance optimisation
• A strong understanding of B2B buyer journeys, including lead scoring, lifecycle management, and sales alignment
• Demonstrated ability to own and report on marketing‑attributed pipeline, ROI, and performance metrics
• Experience operating in global, matrixed environments, balancing consistency with local market needs

You’re highly analytical and commercially minded, with the ability to translate data insights into actionable growth strategies. You’re also a confident communicator and collaborator, comfortable partnering with senior stakeholders across marketing, sales, and digital teams.

In addition, you are:

• A strategic thinker with a test‑and‑learn mindset and passion for optimisation
• A strong people leader who develops, coaches, and inspires teams
• Highly collaborative, with excellent stakeholder management skills
• Self‑driven, results‑focused, and comfortable operating in a fast‑paced, global environment
