Key Responsibilities- Serve as the primary field marketing partner to Core account managers across Americas and EMEA, building trusted relationships that enable proactive, strategic marketing support.
- Execute 1:1 and 1:few account-based field marketing activities aligned to regional priorities and account plans.
- Evaluate incoming sales requests critically, ensuring requests are well-founded and aligned with business objectives before committing team resources.
- Support sales with the creation and adaptation of account-specific customer materials, including presentations, pitch decks, one-pagers, and email templates.
- Collaborate with account managers to identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities for non-journal products (e.g., Journal Backfiles, Online Books, eMRWs, Wiley Digital Archives, Cochrane Library).
- Partner with Global Demand Generation and Global Conferences & Events on Core-related campaign and event strategies to drive new logo acquisition, pipeline generation, customer retention, and expansion.
- Partner with product marketing to tailor messaging for Core institutions across customer lifecycle stages (acquisition, onboarding, renewal, expansion).
- Translate product and value propositions into practical, field-ready content assets that resonate with academic and healthcare library decision-makers.
- Brief and collaborate with shared services teams (campaigns, digital marketing, design) to execute marketing programs, ensuring quality and business relevance throughout the process.
- Localize global campaigns for regional and market-specific relevance, recognizing that library buying behavior, consortium structures, and decision-making processes vary significantly by country and region.
- Track and report on field marketing performance metrics including MQLs, SALs, SQLs, marketing-impacted pipeline, and marketing-impacted revenue.
- Maintain accurate Salesforce campaign records and ensure marketing activity is properly attributed to pipeline and revenue outcomes.
- Provide regular account and market insights to the Associate Director and broader marketing leadership to inform strategy and resource allocation.
- Contribute to monthly business reviews and activity reporting with clear, data-backed summaries of marketing impact.
- Work across B2B and B2C marketing boundaries to coordinate account-level activities where institutional and end-user marketing intersect.
- Partner with Customer Education and Customer Success teams where appropriate, maintaining clear role boundaries while supporting shared customer objectives.
- 6–8 years of experience in B2B marketing, with a strong preference for field marketing, account-based marketing, or demand generation roles.
- Demonstrated experience partnering directly with sales teams to support pipeline growth, customer retention, and account expansion.
- Experience working across multiple regions and adapting content and campaigns for local markets, ideally within Americas and EMEA.
- Proficiency with Salesforce (reporting, campaign management, data hygiene) and marketing automation platforms.
- Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple concurrent campaigns, stakeholders, and deadlines in a matrixed organization.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to translate complex product value propositions into clear, compelling customer-facing content.
- Bachelor’s degree in marketing, business, communications, or a related field.
- Preferred: Experience in scholarly publishing, academic libraries, healthcare information, or adjacent B2B subscription/SaaS industries.
- Familiarity with the academic library buying cycle, consortium-based purchasing, and institutional procurement processes.
- Experience with Salesforce Marketing Cloud (SFMC) or similar enterprise marketing automation platforms.
- Experience marketing to institutional buyers (as opposed to individual consumers) with long, complex sales cycles.
- Understanding of open access publishing models and transformative agreements is a plus.
- Sales alignment: Understands how marketing supports a sales-led motion and can build credibility with account managers through relevant, timely, high-quality support.
- Strategic judgment: Can distinguish between requests that drive real business value and those that don’t, and pushes back constructively when needed.
- Regional sensitivity: Recognizes that institutional markets differ substantially by geography, culture, and buying practice, and adapts accordingly.
- Operational discipline: Manages campaigns, timelines, and stakeholder expectations across a matrixed environment with shared service dependencies.
- Data-driven mindset: Uses metrics and reporting to demonstrate marketing impact and inform decision-making, rather than relying on anecdote or assumption.
- Collaborative working style: Builds effective partnerships across functions, including with teams that may not fully understand the institutional business.
- Opportunity to shape marketing strategy for a high-volume, strategically important account segment within a leading research publisher.
- Collaborative, globally distributed team that values strategic thinking and measurable impact.
