Job Description:
We are seeking an experienced strategic marketing professional to lead customer-back growth exploration across EMEA. Reporting directly to the Divisional Strategic Marketing Manager, this role will independently manage Explore projects from sub-segment prioritization through market analysis, customer-site ‘Voice of Customer’ research, opportunity development, and executive recommendations. The role will collaborate closely with EMEA Sales, Product Management, Marketing, R&D, channel partners, regional leadership, and divisional leadership to build a pipeline of high-conviction growth opportunities.
Essential Job Duties:
EMEA Explore & Innovation Strategy
- Own the development and execution of the EMEA Explore roadmap in alignment with divisional growth priorities.
- Lead multiple Explore projects from kickoff through opportunity recommendation, maintaining clear objectives, hypotheses, milestones, owners, risks, and decision points.
- Partner with regional and divisional leadership to identify and prioritize attractive markets and sub-segments based on strategic fit, customer concentration, market growth, revenue potential, competitive position, and Magnaflux’s ability to win.
- Develop project charters and research plans that define the business question, scope, target customers, knowledge gaps, required evidence, timing, and governance.

- Plan and conduct in-person EMEA customer-site visits and virtual interviews, including observation of customer workflows, inspection processes, current solutions, and workarounds where appropriate.
- Use open-ended and probing questions to uncover root causes, unmet needs, desired outcomes, operational impact, buying criteria, satisfaction with current alternatives, and willingness to change.
- Apply a What? So What? Now What? framework to connect evidence with business implications and recommended actions.

- Strong analytical capability in market sizing, trend analysis, competitive intelligence, data interpretation, and preliminary business-case development.
- Excellent written, verbal, and visual communication skills, including the ability to create and deliver concise leadership-level presentations.
- Proven ability to influence across functions and levels without formal authority and to work autonomously in a matrixed international environment.
- Ability and willingness to travel regularly across EMEA for customer visits, internal meetings, workshops, and industry events.
- Fluent in written and spoken English required; an additional European language is strongly preferred.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and Teams is required. Experience with Salesforce and Adobe Creative Suite is preferred.
