We’re looking for a hands-on Senior Regional Marketing Contractor to own and execute EMEA marketing programs during a critical period of growth. You’ll be the primary marketing partner for our EMEA Sales leadership — driving pipeline, managing the regional ABM program, and ensuring Alation’s brand and message land powerfully across key European markets.

This is not a strategy-only role. You’ll build and run programs, manage agencies, partner closely with Sales, and report directly to the Senior Director of Product and Regional Marketing based in the US. You’ll hit the ground running from day one.

This is a London-based contractor role, supporting our local and global team 2-3 days per week for 6 months (with possible extension).

Execute the regional ABM program — account selection, messaging localization, agency coordination, and performance tracking
Partner closely with EMEA Sales leadership to align marketing activity to pipeline priorities and territory plans
Manage post-event lead conversion in collaboration with Sales Ops

Events & Field Marketing

Own the EMEA events calendar — from strategic third-party conferences to hosted executive roundtables
Manage event logistics, vendor relationships, and agency partners end-to-end
Build a results-oriented event framework with clear pipeline ROI measurement per program
Represent Alation at key industry events across the region; travel required

Customer & Expansion Marketing

Support customer marketing programs targeting expansion accounts in EMEA
Partner with Customer Success to identify advocacy opportunities and develop regional proof points
Localise global customer stories for EMEA buyer relevance Content & Messaging
Localise global messaging and content for EMEA audiences, verticals, and buying personas
Ensure inbound and outbound content is themed and synced to campaigns and events
Feed regional market intelligence back to the global PMM team

Reporting & Operations

Manage regional marketing budget with clear ROI accountability
Track and report pipeline influence, account engagement, and program performance
Maintain a consistent reporting cadence with Sales and Marketing leadership

Must-Have

7+ years of B2B marketing experience, with at least 3 years in a regional or field marketing role covering EMEA
Proven track record driving pipeline growth in partnership with enterprise Sales teams
Hands-on ABM experience — strategy, execution, and measurement
Experience managing agencies and event vendors across multiple European markets
Strong commercial instincts — you think in pipeline and revenue, not just campaign metrics
Ability to operate independently in a fast-moving, matrixed US-headquartered SaaS company
Based in or near London with ability to travel across EMEA for key events
