Job Summary
Your Career
We are looking for an execution-focused architect of growth to lead our digital media strategy and content syndication engine across the EMEA region. This isn't a passive, administrative role. We need a planner who views media as a laboratory - someone who can take high-level regional campaign frameworks and turn them into highly targeted, cross-channel media plans. You will act as the engine room of demand, bridging the gap between global campaign objectives and the tactical execution required to engage complex B2B buying groups in the EMEA cybersecurity space.
Your Impact
As a Manager (Individual Contributor), you are the connective tissue between regional strategy and market reality. You won’t just manage platforms; you will orchestrate demand across the entire digital ecosystem, encompassing Paid Social, Programmatic, Search, and our scaled Content Syndication programs. By balancing operational rigor with analytical insights, you will ensure that every dollar spent across the region optimises the buyer journey and builds measurable pipeline velocity.
