About the Role
We're looking for a Marketing Manager to lead the activation of marketing campaigns and events across EMEA. You'll be the connective tissue between strategy and execution, turning campaign plans into on-the-ground activity, keeping everything on budget, and making sure Sales is fully equipped to convert the leads you generate. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role for someone who thrives on operational detail as much as creative delivery.
Key Responsibilities
Campaign & Event Activation
- Own end-to-end execution of marketing campaigns and events across the EMEA region, from planning through post-event wrap-up
- Coordinate logistics, vendors, timelines, and on-site delivery for regional events (conferences, trade shows, webinars, roadshows, etc.)
- Adapt global campaign frameworks for regional relevance across EMEA markets
Budget Management
- Manage campaign and event budgets, tracking spend against plan and flagging variances early
- Report regularly on budget status and cost-efficiency to the Director of International Marketing
Sales Collaboration & Enablement
- Partner closely with Sales leadership and SDR teams
- Proactively brief SDRs ahead of each activation — what's coming, target audience, key messaging, and expected lead volume
- Define and communicate clear lead handling processes, ensuring SDRs know how to prioritize, qualify, and follow up on leads by source and activation type
- Act as the liaison between Marketing and Sales to ensure feedback loops on lead quality and conversion are working
Cross-functional Communication
- Communicate campaign and event plans, timelines, and outcomes clearly to stakeholders across Marketing, Sales, and regional teams
- Provide regular reporting on campaign/event performance, lead generation, and pipeline impact
- Partner with marketing operations to manage campaigns and events to pre, during, and post execution
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience managing marketing campaigns and/or events, ideally across multiple EMEA markets
- Strong budget management skills — comfortable owning and reporting on spend
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate marketing plans into clear, actionable guidance for Sales/SDR teams
- Experience working cross-functionally with Sales, and a solid understanding of lead lifecycle and handoff processes
- Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing multiple activations simultaneously
- Based in or able to work from London, with willingness to travel across EMEA as needed
Nice to Have
- Experience with marketing automation or CRM platforms (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot, Marketo) for tracking campaign/event lead flow
- Prior experience in a B2B or SaaS environment

The people doing this work span research, technology, design, product, sales, and functional areas. We build many of our products in-house, so the work can connect directly to the tools investors use to make real financial decisions.
Why Work With Us
Morningstar’s missing is to empower investor success. We can only do that if our people feel empowered. That means finding people who think independently, bring a wide range of backgrounds with analytical rigor and genuine intellectual curiosity to the work.
