EMEA is one of Alation’s fastest-growing regions and a strategic priority as we expand our enterprise customer base across the region. This role sits at the center of that growth.
We’re looking for a senior, hands-on regional marketing manager to own and executeEMEA’s marketing programs during a critical period of growth. You’ll be the primary marketing partner and work side by side daily with our EMEA Sales leader who is based in London.

Maintain a consistent reporting cadence with Sales and Marketing leadership
8+ years of B2B marketing experience, with at least 3 years in a regional or field marketing role covering EMEA
Proven track record driving pipeline growth in partnership with enterprise Sales teams
Hands-on ABM experience — strategy, execution, and measurement
Experience managing agencies and event vendors across multiple markets
Strong commercial instincts — you think in pipeline and revenue, not just campaign metrics
Ability to operate independently in a fast-moving, matrixed US-headquartered SaaS company
Ability to travel
Some overlap of working hours with California HQ expected
Proficiency in Claude AI and use of Project and Cowork in daily work
