About the role{{:}}

As Global Marketing Director you will develop, manage, execute, and track marketing programs that create pipeline for new logo acquisition, customer growth, and customer retention in priority growth markets across the Europe and Middle East region including countries such as the U.K., Germany, France, the Nordics and the UAE.
