  • Leverage data to optimize campaigns, and inform and influence decision-making in collaboration with business partners.

  • Native German speaker currently living in Germany.
  • Experience executing field marketing activations in Germany and mainland Europe.
  • Have worked with HQ as a subsidiary and understand how best to leverage at-scale programs, including campaigns.
  • Experience working with diverse sales teams, building strong rapport and partnerships.
