International Growth Marketing Manager

Accountabilities: The International Growth Marketing Manager will own European growth marketing strategy, budget allocation, performance analysis, and cross-functional coordination. Key responsibilities include:

European strategy and budget ownership

Own the European marketing budget, including allocation across markets and channels, financial forecasting, and quarterly performance reporting to leadership.

Develop tailored growth strategies for the UK, France, Germany, Spain, and Italy, taking into account each market’s maturity, competitive landscape, retail and direct-to-consumer mix, and growth opportunities.

Make informed investment decisions across channels, adjusting budgets and priorities according to saturation, incremental returns, local performance, and market-specific needs.

Build clear recommendations on where investment should increase, decrease, or shift across the European portfolio.

Execution leadership and channel coordination

Translate strategic objectives into clear briefs, priorities, and roadmaps for channel specialists responsible for execution.

Establish a consistent operating cadence with regular market reviews, early identification of underperformance, and proactive reprioritization of resources.

Coordinate specialist capacity across markets to ensure time and investment are directed toward the highest-impact opportunities.

Maintain alignment between paid and organic marketing strategies, collaborating with SEO/AEO specialists, local teams, and agencies where applicable.

Take a hands-on approach when urgent market needs, targeted experiments, or capacity constraints require direct execution.

Performance management and measurement

Own the European performance narrative, tracking revenue, customer acquisition cost (CAC), return on advertising spend (ROAS), and investment distribution by market and channel.

Partner with marketing science and analytics teams to improve the reliability of performance measurement beyond platform-reported metrics.

Identify and address gaps in attribution and incrementality measurement, prioritizing improvements in markets with less mature measurement capabilities.

Determine the highest-value tests and investments for each market and quarter, building evidence-based business cases for action.

Establish measurable performance targets and track progress against agreed objectives.

Stakeholder and organizational leadership

Serve as the primary point of accountability for European marketing plans and performance with leadership, Finance, and agency partners.

Present clear, data-backed quarterly budget recommendations, explaining investment decisions, expected returns, and required adjustments.

Influence channel specialists and cross-functional stakeholders through strong briefs, strategic direction, and collaboration rather than relying solely on formal reporting lines.

Work closely with the Senior Director of Global Paid Media to align European priorities with broader marketing objectives.

During the first 90 days, audit all five markets, build relationships with key stakeholders and agency partners, deliver the initial market-specific strategic plan, and launch a high-impact improvement or test.

Within the first year, establish individual strategies and budgets for all five markets, improve measurement in at least two priority markets, increase specialist effectiveness, and demonstrate measurable growth in one underperforming or under-invested market.

Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to adapt discussions to different audiences, from Finance and senior leadership to channel specialists and agency partners.

Strong strategic planning, budget forecasting, performance monitoring, and problem-solving capabilities.
