This role turns our happiest customers and strongest partners into engines of growth. By building advocacy, driving expansion, supporting onboarding and adoption, and leading joint marketing with our partner ecosystem, it creates compounding value from relationships we’ve already earned, generating social proof, revenue and reach that new-logo marketing alone can’t deliver.

This is a player-coach role. You will lead a team of two marketers covering customer and partner marketing in our DACH and France core regions, while personally owning and driving customer and partner marketing initiatives for Benelux.

Key Responsibilities

Lead: DACH and France

• Define the customer and partner marketing plan for DACH and France and own its results, adapting global programs to each market.

• Manage, coach and develop two team members, setting priorities, quality standards and goals for both regions.

• Make sure the team’s programs run consistently and learn from each other across the two regions.

Own directly: Benelux

• Personally plan and execute customer and partner marketing in Benelux, from strategy to hands-on delivery.

• Build relationships directly with Benelux customers and partners to identify advocates and joint opportunities.

Across all regions

• Build and run a customer advocacy program (references, case studies, testimonials, reviews, community) that generates social proof for Sales and Marketing.

• Partner with Sales and Customer Success on commercial expansion motions (upsell, cross-sell) within the existing customer base.

• Design and support marketing activities that improve product onboarding and adoption for new customers.

• Identify and nurture customer champions who can speak on our behalf (webinars, review sites, events, PR).

• Own partner marketing: develop joint marketing plans, campaigns and co-branded content with strategic partners.

• Support partner development by equipping partner managers and partners with the marketing assets, training and enablement they need to promote and sell effectively.

• Lead partner-driven initiatives such as co-marketing campaigns, joint events/webinars and partner communications.

• Work closely with Customer Success, Product and the Partnerships/Alliances function to understand the customer and partner journey and identify moments that matter for advocacy, expansion and joint growth.

• Measure and report on advocacy, expansion, adoption and partner marketing metrics across regions, and translate insights into action.

What Success Looks Like

• A steady flow of strong customer stories, references and reviews is available to support Sales and demand generation in every region.

• Existing customers are actively engaged in expansion conversations, supported by relevant marketing.

• New customers ramp up faster thanks to better-supported onboarding and adoption.

• Partners are equipped and active, contributing to pipeline through joint campaigns and co-marketing initiatives.

• The two team members in DACH and France are growing, engaged and delivering against clear goals.

• Benelux customer and partner programs are running well under your direct ownership.

• Customer and Partner Marketing is seen internally as a trusted partner by Sales, Customer Success and the Partnerships function.

What You Bring

• Fluency in both Dutch and English.

• Experience in customer marketing, advocacy or customer success-adjacent marketing roles in B2B SaaS.

• Experience leading or mentoring a small team, with the ability to stay hands-on while managing others.

• Experience in, or strong appetite for, partner/channel marketing and working with external partners.

• Comfortable building relationships directly with customers and partners to identify and develop advocates and joint opportunities.

• Commercially minded, with an understanding of expansion, retention and partner-led growth dynamics.
