Marketo Program Build & Automation: Architect and execute scalable Marketo programs (nurture, engagement, testing) with advanced segmentation & drive platform excellence through reusable assets, governance, and lifecycle optimisation.

Salesforce CRM, Campaign Setup & Attribution: Lead Salesforce campaign architecture and attribution frameworks & ensure robust Marketo–Salesforce integration with accurate data flow, routing, and reporting integrity.

Reporting, Diagnostics & Optimisation: Diagnose campaign performance issues across tracking, volumes, and attribution & deliver data-driven insights to optimise targeting, messaging, and conversion outcomes.

Stakeholder Partnership & Enablement: Act as a strategic advisor to global stakeholders providing clear direction, trade-offs, and execution clarity & elevate team capability through best practices, coaching, and complex build support.

What We Are Looking For

• Expert hands-on Marketo experience building complex programs (nurture, triggers, segmentation, tokens/templates) with strong operational discipline.
• Strong Salesforce Campaign management capability (hierarchies, naming standards, member statuses) and understanding of campaign attribution impacts.
• Proven ability to translate briefs into build-ready specifications and lead stakeholders through trade-offs and clarifications.

• Clear written and verbal communication; able to ask the right questions and document requirements succinctly.
• Strong analytical mindset: comfortable diagnosing performance, tracking and attribution issues across platforms.
• Organised and detail-oriented; able to manage multiple campaign workstreams without losing governance or quality.
• Comfort operating in a matrixed, global environment with US-based stakeholders and time-zone overlap.

• Experience with additional tools (e.g., Demandbase, Gong/Salesloft or similar, Goldcast or similar webinar and virtual event platforms, Swoogo, Qualified, Adobe Analytics/GA); Marketo + Salesforce depth is essential.

• 7+ years in marketing automation / campaign operations, including ownership of complex B2B campaign builds and governance.
