• Drive communications and thought leadership efforts, including media relations, press releases, speaking submissions, and awards, building Samba\'s profile globally.

• Partner closely with regional sales and commercial teams to deliver locally relevant collateral, sales enablement assets, and market-specific campaigns.

• Lead, coach, and develop the international marketing team, setting clear goals and fostering a high-performance culture.

• Monitor and report on marketing performance across international markets, using data to optimise programmes and communicate impact to senior stakeholders.

• Strong generalist marketer with hands-on experience across brand, demand generation, events, PR, thought leadership, and content, while comfortable operating at both strategic and executional levels.

• Commercially minded and sales-aligned, with a track record of close partnership with sales teams and of measuring marketing\'s impact through pipeline and business growth.

• Excellent communicator and storyteller who can translate complex data and technology narratives into compelling messages for markets around the world.

• Proactive, autonomous, and action-oriented, you create clarity in ambiguous situations and move quickly to deliver results.

• You are an empowering team leader who builds teams, not just functions. You hire well, develop talent, and hold performance to a high standard with empathy and directness.
