Job description
Marketing Manager Benelux
SICK Sensor Intelligence supplies sensors and solutions for industrial automation. As Marketing Manager Benelux, you will determine the marketing strategy for the Netherlands and Belgium from Bilthoven and execute it yourself: campaigns, events, positioning, and marketing communications. Additionally, you will be assigned your own international focus area within SICK, allowing you to collaborate daily with marketing, sales, and product colleagues from multiple countries. This is a full-time position of 40 hours per week, with hybrid working (three days at the office in Bilthoven) and international business trips averaging once per quarter.
About the feature
You are responsible for developing, executing, and further professionalizing the marketing strategy for SICK's Benelux organization. You combine strategic marketing management with commercial execution: you translate market, customer, and competitor developments into campaigns and initiatives that demonstrably contribute to the organization's growth. In doing so, you work closely with Sales, Product Management, and the international marketing teams within a matrix organization.
- Benelux Marketing Strategy: You develop, execute, and optimize the marketing strategy for the Netherlands and Belgium.

You are given ample freedom to independently steer marketing in the Benelux, while being part of an international marketing network. You work at the intersection of marketing, technology, and commerce.
