Our client, a Professional Services firm, is seeking a commercially driven Director of Growth Marketing to build and lead a revenue-generating marketing capability for a growing professional services organization.
This is not a traditional brand marketing or events role. Brand governance, creative direction, public relations and event execution are managed through centralized resources. This role will focus on demand generation, account-based marketing, sales enablement, digital acquisition, marketing technology, analytics and market expansion.
Working closely with senior leadership, client-facing teams, business development stakeholders and marketing partners, this individual will identify growth opportunities, develop targeted go-to-market plans and build measurable programs that contribute to qualified pipeline, client acquisition, talent engagement and account expansion.
The ideal candidate combines the analytical rigor of a growth marketer with the commercial mindset of a business builder. They are equally comfortable setting strategy, executing programs, improving systems and presenting recommendations to senior leadership.
