DeepL is at an inflection point in its growth, and this is a rare opportunity to shape how the world's most accurate AI translation company engages enterprise customers, creates pipeline and scales through partners globally. As Director of Global Field & Partner Marketing, you will own two tightly integrated functions: a global field and events programme spanning owned, third-party and executive formats, and a partner marketing capability that activates DeepL's growing ecosystem of channel, technology and integration partners. You will lead a distributed team of regional field marketers and partner marketers across EMEA, APJ (dotted line) and North America, unifying them under a single commercial strategy that is directly accountable to pipeline creation, deal acceleration, adoption and expansion revenue. This role reports directly to the VP of Demand Generation and sits at the heart of DeepL's go-to-market motion.

Your responsibilities

• GLOBAL FIELD MARKETING & EVENTS: Own and scale DeepL's global field marketing programme across owned events, third-party conference activations, executive engagement formats and digital programmes - driving net new pipeline, deal acceleration and product adoption across mid-market and enterprise segments.
• Define and manage the global field marketing strategy, ensuring programme investment is allocated to the highest-return formats and markets and adjusted in response to pipeline signals and sales priorities.
• Lead the evolution of DeepL's flagship owned programme portfolio scaling them across new cities and regions while maintaining quality, commercial rigour and local relevance.
• Build and scale an executive engagement capability in close partnership with Sales and Customer Success, creating access to senior decision-makers within priority accounts through intimate, high-value formats.
• Partner with Sales, SDR, Revenue Intelligence and Marketing Ops to establish rigorous measurement frameworks covering pipeline sourced, pipeline influenced, speed-to-lead and closed-won attribution - and use these insights to drive continuous programme optimisation.
• Champion a culture of commercial accountability: every programme format is evaluated against pipeline outcomes, and investment decisions are made on evidence, not habit.

• PARTNER MARKETING: Lead DeepL's partner marketing function, developing and executing co-marketing strategies with channel partners, technology partners, GSIs, ISVs and integration partners that generate measurable pipeline and expand DeepL's market reach.
• Build scalable co-marketing frameworks - including joint event programmes, partner-led demand generation, marketplace activations and partner enablement content - that allow partners to market DeepL effectively within their own networks and customer bases.
• Own partner-attached pipeline targets and contribution to ARR, ensuring partner marketing programmes are designed to drive measurable commercial outcomes rather than activity metrics.
• Partner closely with the Partnerships, Sales, Product Marketing and Creative Studio teams to develop partner-specific messaging, assets and campaign frameworks that reflect DeepL's positioning while enabling partner customisation.
• Develop and manage the partner marketing calendar globally, with clear accountability for joint pipeline targets, co-investment frameworks and performance reporting.
• Continuously evolve the partner marketing operating model to support DeepL's growing partner ecosystem, including emerging opportunities with hyperscalers, marketplace listings and developer community programmes.

• LEADERSHIP & CROSS-FUNCTIONAL COLLABORATION: Lead, inspire and develop a high-performing, globally distributed team of field marketers and partner marketers, fostering a culture of commercial accountability, creativity and continuous improvement.
• Serve as the key marketing partner to Sales, SDR, Customer Success, Product Marketing and Partnerships leadership - aligning field and partner activity directly to pipeline targets, territory plans and revenue objectives.
• Represent field and partner marketing at senior leadership level, clearly articulating strategy, programme performance, investment rationale and regional market insights.
• Build and maintain strong operating cadences with Sales leadership across all regions, ensuring tight alignment on target.
