Leading a small team, you will be accountable for plan execution and the achievement of regional objectives, owning the French field marketing plan from strategy through execution, using Account-Based Experience (ABX) as a core framework to engage strategic enterprise accounts, create pipeline, accelerate opportunities and expand Qlik's footprint.   You'll act as a strategic marketing partner to French Sales leadership, bringing together market insight, account intelligence, creativity and data to determine where marketing can have the greatest commercial impact.   Working closely with Sales, Account Executives, BDRs, Customer Success, Alliances and Marketing, you'll translate business and territory priorities into integrated programs that create meaningful customer engagement and measurable revenue outcomes.   If you're an experienced B2B field marketer ready for greater strategic ownership, executive visibility and direct commercial impact, this is that opportunity.   What makes this role interesting?   This is not a traditional field marketing role focused simply on events and campaign execution.
