Job Description:

As a fast-scaling defense aerospace company, we develop autonomous systems that operate in complex, contested environments to protect service members and civilians. Our mission sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, advanced hardware, and national security. We are expanding our international go-to-market footprint and investing in strategic growth markets across Europe.

The Senior Field Marketing Manager, Europe will establish and execute field marketing across priority defense and government accounts in the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, and Greece. This person will drive account-based marketing programs, support strategic capture efforts, and generate measurable pipeline impact in close partnership with regional sales and business development teams.

This is a hands-on role in a high-growth environment. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable developing account strategies and executing field programs, thrives in complex multinational government sales environments, and understands how to align marketing efforts with long-cycle defense procurement processes across multiple European markets.

Align marketing programs with regional sales objectives, pipeline targets, and account plans to drive measurable revenue impact across all focus markets.

Own Salesforce campaign execution, including creating and managing Campaign IDs, ensuring proper campaign structure, tracking member status, and maintaining data integrity in partnership with sales.

Partner closely with sales to ensure correct opportunity association, contact mapping, and required CRM field completion to support accurate pipeline reporting and attribution.

Build and execute programs within Marketo, including campaign flows, audience segmentation, nurture programs, performance tracking, and marketing-to-sales workflow alignment.

Establish KPIs aligned to European government sales realities, including account penetration, stakeholder engagement depth, opportunity influence, and deal acceleration.

Bring structure, accountability, and operational rigor to field marketing execution across strategically important European defense markets.
