Marketing Lead

MHP Americas is seeking a hands-on Senior Marketing Lead to serve as the functional marketing leader for the Americas. This role combines strategy, orchestration, and selective hands-on execution in a fast-moving B2B consulting environment. The role works closely with Sales, Responsible Partners (RPs), GTM Leads, Consulting Services / Solution Units (SUs), strategic partners, and MHP's global marketing organization.

The successful candidate will build on an established marketing foundation and continue to industrialize the operating model: focus the portfolio, strengthen account-based and ecosystem GTM motions, scale Salesforce and marketing automation, improve attribution and reporting, and create repeatable processes that directly support account growth and pipeline progression.

The role directly owns Americas marketing strategy, prioritization, orchestration, performance management, and selected high-priority execution. Delivery is enabled through commercial teams, global marketing capabilities, internal subject-matter experts, platform teams, and external agencies. This is a senior individual-contributor leadership role with the opportunity to help shape the future Americas marketing capability model.

First-Year Priorities

• Establish a focused Americas portfolio of market-ready offers and campaigns aligned to priority accounts, buyer needs, and growth objectives.
• Operationalize a disciplined named-account and ecosystem GTM model that enables RPs and Sales Directors to progress priority stakeholders and opportunities.
• Improve Salesforce and Marketing Cloud Account Engagement (MCAE/Pardot) adoption, campaign governance, nurture, attribution, and commercial reporting.

What Success Looks Like

Success will be phased based on business priorities, platform readiness, available resources, and alignment across Americas and global stakeholders.

• A focused portfolio of market-ready offers with clear ICPs, buyer needs, value propositions, differentiators, proof points, and activation plans.
• A disciplined ABM operating model that supports RPs and Sales Directors in progressing named accounts and engaging priority stakeholders.
• Salesforce and MCAE/Pardot operating as the shared system of record for campaign execution, nurture, attribution, and reporting.
• A deliberate SAP and strategic-partner ecosystem plan that maps relationships, communications, campaigns, and partner activity to named accounts and commercial outcomes.
• Marketing performance measured through a balanced set of directly controlled and shared commercial measures, including account engagement, stakeholder reach, conversion, funnel progression, marketing-sourced and marketing-influenced pipeline, sales adoption, and defined business outcomes.
• Scalable governance, processes, and cross-functional ways of working that reduce dependence on individual heroics.

How the Role Works

Marketing Operations, Automation & Analytics

Ecosystem & Partner GTM
