• Demonstrated experience managing an active, standalone e-commerce or digital sales channel P&L with direct target accountability for a multi-million euro ARR volume.

• Proven capability to build, resource, and lead large, multi-disciplinary, fast-moving marketing teams in performance-driven organizations.

• Comprehensive experience overseeing marketing technology stacks and building AI-enabled marketing processes.

Required Skills

• Capability to own a complex global budget, manage data-backed investment risks, forecast revenue pipelines, and justify marketing spend velocity.
