Director Marketing DACH
Summary:
We are seeking a dynamic Director Marketing DACH to act as the strategic marketing leader for the Germany, Austria, and Switzerland cluster, directly managing the German market. This high-impact executive role sits on our Global Marketing Leadership team and is responsible for transforming, aligning, and scaling B2B, B2C, and e-commerce marketing strategies to drive regional business growth.
Geographic & Working Conditions
To ensure smooth cross-border collaboration and compliance within the DACH cluster, candidates must meet the following location and schedule parameters:
- Location: Germany
- Working Hours: Full availability during standard Central European Time (CET) business hours.
Role Differentiation: What This Is (and Is Not)
- What it IS: A high-level strategic transformation and performance-marketing leadership role. You will act as a "Digital Translator"—bridging high-level CMO strategy with complex technical data infrastructure, and directing structural shifts like migrating localized workloads to our Global Capability Center (GCC).
- What it IS NOT: A local, execution-focused brand management or localized content creation role. This is an enterprise-scale commercial role aimed at lower-funnel conversion ecosystem optimization, regional governance, and structural team integration.
What You Will Achieve (Responsibilities)
How will you make an impact?
- Lead Strategic Transformation: Implement the Global Marketing Target Operating Model (TOM) to drive organizational agility and streamline regional workflows across DACH.
- Optimize E-Commerce & B2B Ecosystems: Architect data-driven, high-level conversion strategies to optimize customer journeys and drive localized lead generation.
- Empower a Cross-Border Team: Unify and scale a high-performing regional team, guiding their transition toward centralized functions and high-scalability workflows.
- Champion Financial Health: Manage and optimize the regional DACH marketing budget, ensuring maximum ROI by shifting investments to high-impact drivers.
Key Metrics and Portfolios You Will Own
- Regional Conversion Rates & Lead Gen: Direct accountability for lower-funnel conversion performance, digital lead generation, and overall website traffic.
- Multi-Business Portfolio: Ownership over performance and positioning of the PTS and OTS businesses, alongside Randstad Enterprise.
- Tech Stack Optimization: Leverage DMP/TP insights and integrate AI agents to build highly automated and effective marketing workflows.
What You Need to Succeed
Experience: 10+ years of progressive marketing leadership, with a strong background in leading complex B2B, B2B2C, and e-commerce transformations.
- Leadership Track Record: Proven success leading, restructuring, and expanding multi-country marketing teams within a global matrixed environment (DACH cluster experience is highly preferred).
- Languages: Fluency in both German and English is strictly required (French or Italian is a major asset for Swiss market alignment).
- Technical & Analytical Prowess: Solid experience with DMP/TP platforms, AI-driven automation, and a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Business, or a related field (MBA preferred).
