Job description

DEPT® is a Growth Invention company. We help the world's most ambitious brands grow by bringing together technology, AI, creativity and data to invent what's next. With more than 4,000 specialists across 30+ markets, we work at the intersection of marketing and technology for clients including Google, Meta, Lufthansa, eBay and OpenAI.

EMEA is DEPT®'s largest and most commercially important region. It's where global ambition meets local reality: different markets, different buyers, different cultures, and one shared growth target. Your job is simple to describe, but hard to do. Take DEPT®'s global brand, positioning and strategy, and turn it into measurable commercial growth across EMEA. You'll lead the regional growth marketing organisation, bringing together Future Club, Content & GEO, CRM & Paid, and Partner Marketing into one demand engine. You'll partner closely with regional sales leadership, market leads and the Global SVP of Marketing to ensure every programme, campaign and event contributes to pipeline, reputation and long-term growth.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Own marketing's contribution to pipeline across EMEA. Set ambitious targets, measure what matters, and continuously improve marketing's impact on revenue.
• Lead DEPT®'s regional growth strategy across demand generation, account-based marketing, executive engagement and partner marketing.
• Grow DEPT® Future Club into the most valuable executive community in our industry, creating meaningful relationships that translate into long‑term commercial opportunities.
• Build and scale one integrated regional demand engine across Future Club, Content & GEO, CRM & Paid and Partner Marketing, ensuring every function contributes to growth rather than operating in isolation.
• Partner closely with regional sales leadership on strategic accounts, major pitches and market priorities, making marketing an extension of the commercial organisation.
• Build an organic growth engine through content, website optimisation and GEO that compounds over time and strengthens DEPT®'s authority in AI, creativity and growth.
• Lead CRM, lifecycle marketing and paid acquisition with a relentless focus on efficiency, experimentation and measurable ROI.
• Build strategic partnerships with technology platforms, clients and ecosystem partners that strengthen DEPT®'s market position and create new business opportunities.
• Own the EMEA marketing budget and make investment decisions based on commercial impact, not historical allocation.
• Coach and develop regional marketing leaders, creating a culture of ownership, curiosity and continuous improvement.
• Represent the voice of EMEA within the global marketing organisation, ensuring regional insight shapes global priorities as much as global strategy shapes regional execution.

YOUR PROFILE

• 8–12 years of senior B2B marketing leadership experience in a fast‑growing technology, consulting or professional services business.
• A proven track record of owning pipeline and being able to demonstrate marketing's contribution to revenue.
• Experience leading marketing across multiple countries, balancing regional consistency with local market needs.
• Strong commercial instincts. You're as comfortable discussing pipeline reviews with Sales as you are reviewing campaign creative.
• Experience leading managers and building high‑performing, multidisciplinary teams.
• A builder's mindset. You enjoy creating systems, improving ways of working and leaving organisations stronger than you found them.
• High levels of curiosity about AI and emerging technology, and the ability to translate them into practical growth opportunities.
• Strong executive presence and the confidence to challenge senior stakeholders when necessary.
• Comfortable working in ambiguity, making decisions with imperfect information and moving quickly.
• Based in London or willing to relocate, with regular travel across EMEA.

WE OFFER

• A flexible, hybrid working policy
• The choice of medical healthcare providers (Bupa or Medicash)
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays and your birthday off each year
• Company pension scheme
• EAP scheme
• Ride to work scheme
• Enhanced family friendly policies
• Buddy Program: You will be paired with a ‘Buddy’ to help you through your first weeks’ at DEPT®.
• A reputation for doing good. DEPT® has been a Certified B Corp® since 2021 and named ‘Agency of the Year’ at both The Lovies and The Webby Awards.
• Awesome clients. Whether big or small, local or global — at DEPT® you’ll get the opportunity to work with clients of all sizes and across all industries. And we celebrate all of our successes together!
• The opportunity for possibility. We want to enable you to do what you do best and help you develop your skills further with training, development and certifications.
• Global annual DEPT® Cares Month in which employees come together and donate their skills to support local charities.
