• Live events and productions: Coordinate marketing activities connected to live events, content productions, and other brand experiences.
• Performance analysis: Monitor relevant KPIs, evaluate campaign results, identify opportunities, and translate data into actionable improvements.
• Budget ownership: Manage marketing budgets, allocate resources effectively, and take responsibility for marketing performance.
• Process development: Build efficient marketing processes, establish clear structures, and improve collaboration across the marketing function.
• Cross-functional collaboration: Work closely with executive leadership, sales, event management, and fulfillment teams to ensure coordinated execution and a consistent customer experience.
• Brand development: Contribute to the long-term positioning and growth of the brand across coaching, personal development, health, and transformation offerings.

Requirements:

• Several years of experience in a senior marketing leadership position.
• Proven experience building, managing, and developing high-performing marketing teams.
• Strong strategic and commercial thinking, with the ability to translate business objectives into effective marketing and growth plans.
• Excellent analytical skills and confidence working with marketing KPIs, performance metrics, and budgets.
• Experience managing product launches, marketing funnels, and digital marketing processes.
• Broad understanding of performance marketing, CRM, email marketing, social media, and content strategy.
• Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
• A structured, proactive, and solution-oriented working style, with a high degree of autonomy and accountability.
• The ability to manage multiple initiatives, coordinate internal and external stakeholders, and prioritize effectively.
• Willingness to travel frequently and enthusiasm for attending live events, content productions, and in-person team meetings.
• Flexibility to work remotely while maintaining close collaboration with colleagues across different locations.

Benefits:

• Employment type: Full-time, permanent employment.
