Lead regional campaigns, account based marketing, strategic events and executive engagement programmes, ensuring activity is relevant to local markets and connected to commercial priorities.
Build and lead a high performing field marketing organisation across EMEA, establishing the operating cadence, priorities and capabilities required as the region scales.
Use data, pipeline performance and campaign ROI to inform planning, investment and prioritisation, creating clear accountability for marketing impact.
Partner across Sales, Product Marketing, Demand Generation, Events and the wider Marketing organisation while remaining focused on the EMEA commercial agenda.

Requirements:

15+ years of marketing leadership experience in high-growth enterprise technology or emerging technology companies
Proven track record leading regional and/or international marketing teams across complex, multi-country markets
Deep experience supporting enterprise and strategic sales motions, including long sales cycles and multi-stakeholder buying groups
Demonstrated success partnering with enterprise sales organizations to drive pipeline, revenue growth, and strategic account engagement
Exceptional storyteller who can balance technical credibility with executive-level clarity
Proven track record in similar roles within the Americas region is strongly preferred
Experience operating in matrixed global organizations, influencing without authority
Comfortable navigating cultural nuance, regulatory complexity, and varied market maturity levels
Deep experience with account-based marketing, regional campaigns, executive engagement, and strategic events
Comfortable balancing global strategy with hands-on regional execution
Data-driven decision maker with a bias toward measurable impact

Compensation will vary based on individual factors such as education, qualifications, and experience of the final candidate(s), specific office location, and calibration against relevant market data and internal team equity. Posted base salary figures are subject to change as new market data becomes available. Our benefits include comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans, matching 401(k), unlimited PTO and paid holidays, parental/adoption leave, legal insurance, and a home technology stipend. Details of participation in these benefit plans will be provided when a candidate receives an offer of employment.

US Technical Jobs. The position you are applying for will require access to technology that is subject to U.S. export control and government contract restrictions. Employment with IonQ is contingent on either verifying “U.S. Person” (e.g., U.S. citizen, U.S. national, U.S. permanent resident, or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum) status for export controls and government contracts work, obtaining any necessary license, and/or confirming the availability of a license exception under U.S. export controls. Please note that in the absence of confirming you are a U.S. Person for export control and government contracts work purposes, IonQ may choose not to apply for a license or decline to use a license exception (if available) for you to access export-controlled technology that may require authorization, and similarly, you may not qualify for government contracts work that requires U.S. Persons, and IonQ may decline to proceed with your application on those bases alone. Accordingly, we will have some additional questions regarding your immigration status that will be used for export control and compliance purposes, and the answers will be reviewed by compliance personnel to ensure compliance with federal law.

US Non-Technical Jobs. Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum. Accordingly, we will have some additional questions regarding your immigration status that will be used for export control and compliance purposes, and the answers will be reviewed by compliance personnel to ensure compliance with federal law.
