Job Summary

Talkdesk is seeking a strategic, commercially minded Director of EMEA Regional Marketing to lead regional marketing strategy, execution, and business impact across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

This leader will serve as a key strategic partner to EMEA sales leadership, translating regional business priorities, market opportunities, and customer insights into integrated marketing strategies that build awareness, create demand, deepen account engagement, and accelerate pipeline.

As part of the global Growth Marketing organization, the Director will connect global marketing strategy with regional market needs, orchestrating campaigns, account-based marketing (ABM), digital, partner, customer, and experiential programs to deliver measurable business outcomes.

The ideal candidate combines strategic thinking with operational excellence, brings a strong understanding of enterprise B2B marketing, and thrives in a matrixed, cross-functional environment. This individual will be equally comfortable advising regional sales leadership, developing market-specific growth plans, and leading teams to deliver high-impact marketing programs.
