Tasks and Qualifications:

Key Accountabilities:

• Develop a deep understanding of customer needs, operational challenges, buying journeys, purchasing criteria and perceptions of value.

• Identify priority customer segments, applications and emerging opportunities through market analysis, customer research and persona-based insight.

• Own and evolve the global marketing strategy, positioning, messaging architecture and value proposition for Flexible Automation.

• Position technologies within customer-focused solutions, workflows and use cases, rather than presenting them solely as standalone products.

• Translate the capabilities of AMRs, AGVs, robotics and related automation technologies into clear customer benefits and business outcomes.

• Analyse market drivers, trends, market size and competitive activity, then turn these insights into practical portfolio and go-to-market recommendations.

• Develop differentiated messaging based on competitor propositions, capabilities and routes to market.

• Create sales narratives, presentations, use cases, competitive tools, training and customer-facing content that enable sales teams to win.

• Support portfolio initiatives, launches and market activation from initial insight and strategy through to delivery and performance measurement.

• Collaborate with Solutions Marketing colleagues to demonstrate how Flexible Automation integrates with fixed automation and software as part of an end-to-end solution.

• Use customer, commercial and marketing data to assess effectiveness, refine strategy and demonstrate business impact.

Essential experience and capabilities:

• Significant technology solutions or portfolio marketing experience gained in a complex technical environment.

• Experience owning a product, solution or portfolio marketing strategy from customer insight and positioning through to go-to-market execution and performance measurement.

• A strong record of translating complex technologies and capabilities into compelling value propositions, business outcomes and differentiated market messages.

• Experience developing and delivering global or multi-market go-to-market strategies, including launches, portfolio initiatives or growth programmes.

• Strong customer and market insight capabilities, including segmentation, customer needs, buying groups, buying journeys, market trends and competitive analysis.

• Experience creating practical sales-enablement materials and customer-facing content.

• The ability to influence and build effective relationships across Sales, Product Management, Technology, Marketing and regional teams in a global matrix organisation.

• A balance of strategic thinking and hands-on delivery, with the ability to establish direction and personally produce high-priority messaging, briefs, content and sales tools.

• Experience using commercial, customer or marketing data to evaluate performance and improve strategy.

Preferred experience:

• Experience in warehouse automation or intralogistics would be particularly valuable, especially exposure to autonomous mobile robots, automated guided vehicles, robotics, material handling or software-enabled automation.

• We would also welcome applicants from the robotics or industrial automation sectors who offer strong international technology marketing experience and can quickly turn technical concepts into commercial customer value.

• Marketing a portfolio of complementary technologies or solutions rather than a single product.

• Developing propositions for different industries, vertical markets or customer workflows.

• Positioning integrated solutions that combine hardware, automation and software.

• Working across multiple markets, regions and stakeholder groups in a global organisation.

Education and professional background:

• A bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience in Marketing, Business, Supply Chain, Technology or a related discipline is expected. A relevant postgraduate, professional marketing or business qualification would be advantageous but is not essential.

• Detailed technical expertise in automation is beneficial, but your ability to understand complex technologies quickly and communicate their customer and commercial value is more important.

Why join us?

This is a visible global role with the opportunity to influence the commercial direction of a strategically important automation portfolio.
