Field Marketing Recruitment Background
When CyberArk changed its global marketing strategy to have a generalist Field Marketing Manager and a specialist ABM Manager for each region – residing in the region – the company required a Marketing Manager for the vacant Northern Europe territory.
Field Marketing Manager Role
The Field Marketing Manager was required to work closely with the EMEA Field Marketing Director – who instructed Marketing Moves – and key stakeholders in the Northern European team to establish a marketing plan focused on delivering pipeline to support the region.
Once in position, the successful applicant would have the enviable task of developing and executing a fully-integrated marketing plan that was aligned to sales targets and priority markets for new business/whitespace. They would also cross-sell into existing customers, assist with the retention of existing customers, contribute to EMEA pipeline build and deliver against all pre-agreed targets.
Field Marketing Recruitment Challenge
In short, cybersecurity field marketing recruitment is difficult. Headquartered in Newton, Massachusetts, the company required local European recruitment expertise to find the best available candidate.
The candidate search was also far from straight-forward, requiring at least the following five primary criteria amongst many other secondary criteria:
- senior marketing professional
- possessed wide breadth of experience
- could work autonomously
- from a Tech B2B background
- lived within commutable distance from Amsterdam
Field Marketing Recruitment Process
The recruitment process was exceptionally difficult because Amsterdam has a fairly small pool of candidates (when compared to London) and the company had already conducted a search themselves. This meant Marketing Moves really had to utilise our network to find candidates who fit the brief that:
a) had not already been spoken to
b) were open to considering a new role
c) fell within budget
Thankfully, Nathan Davies is the best in the CyberSecurity business, and Marketing Moves is one of Europe’s leading field marketing recruitment agencies. After an extensive recruitment search, Nathan narrowed a longlist of ten strong candidates down to a shortlist to five exceptional applicants which were submitted to CyberArk.
Interview Process
The five applicants went forward into a five-stage interview process, speaking with the CMO, Senior Director, HR, the Director General and finally VP EMEA. After extensive cross-panel deliberation, the company offered the position to the applicant with the breadth of experience, deep understanding of the full marketing mix, who understood the region and had worked for similar sized organisations previously. They are now in position and report to be thoroughly enjoying it!
