We're rapidly expanding our global Growth Marketing team at Smartly and looking for an exceptional, results-driven marketing leader to join us as a core individual contributor!

As the Global Lead of Strategic Marketing Initiatives, you'll be pivotal in driving Smartly's most critical market growth through advanced, account-centric strategies. This is a unique opportunity to architect and execute world-class, multi-market programs with high visibility across leadership. You'll be our in-house expert on Account-Based Marketing (ABM) and other high-impact strategic initiatives, partnering closely with Sales, Events, Paid Media, and SDRs to build scalable, revenue-generating programs and set global best practices.

As the Global Lead of Strategic Marketing Initiatives, you will…

  • Champion and operationalize Smartly's global ABM strategy, partnering with Sales leadership to identify and activate high-value accounts for pipeline and revenue acceleration.
  • Design and execute end-to-end 1:1, 1:Few, and 1:Many ABM programs, developing integrated, region-specific campaigns for enterprise accounts.
  • Own and optimize our core ABM tech stack: 6Sense (transitioning to Demandbase), Salesforce, and Marketo, driving adoption and best practices.
  • Partner deeply with SDRs to translate growth marketing campaigns into actionable account lists and compelling content for outreach.
  • Innovate with new, impactful approaches to engage and convert target accounts, standing out in the market.
  • Strategically leverage AI to enhance programs, including content creation and website optimization.
  • Collaborate with content marketing to shape strategy, messaging, and align demand generation programs.
  • Oversee the development of all supporting campaign materials: from personalized landing pages to direct mailers and custom gifting.
  • Deliver world-class, data-driven reporting that clearly shows ABM and strategic initiative impact on pipeline, revenue, and meetings booked, demonstrating clear ROI.
  • Manage program budgets, identify new tools, and build a best-in-class ABM and strategic marketing practice.

We are looking for...

  • 10+ years of B2B marketing experience in fast-growing tech/SaaS, with 5+ years directly leading and executing comprehensive ABM programs (1:1, 1:Few, 1:Many) for enterprise clients.
  • Mastery of leading ABM platforms (e.g., 6Sense, Demandbase, Terminus), marketing automation (e.g., Marketo), and CRM (e.g., Salesforce); proven integration/optimization experience.
  • Exceptional understanding of complex enterprise B2B buying groups and C-level personas, with proven ability to craft tailored, influential campaigns.
  • Superior analytical skills to drive, execute, and optimize campaigns, with a clear track record of measuring success by pipeline, revenue, and meetings booked.
  • Outstanding communication, persuasion, and collaboration skills, acting as a strategic partner to sales and rallying stakeholders for revenue goals.
  • Extensive experience planning and scaling multi-touch, integrated campaigns (digital and offline) within an ABM framework.
  • The ability to work out of our London office 3 days a week.

  • Inclusive Culture: Join a team of over 750 Smartlies representing more than 60 nationalities across 24 locations in 13 countries, we foster a culture built on trust, transparency, and open feedback.
