Meet the team behind this journey
DeepL is at an exciting inflection point, and we’re looking for a high-energy, creative marketing leader to own our marketing strategy for the Americas. As the Director of Americas Marketing, you won’t just be sitting in meetings—you’ll be the architect and the builder. This is a hands-on, individual contributor role where you’ll personally execute a regional go-to-market strategy that cuts through the noise of the crowded AI space. We need an out-of-the-box thinker who can bridge global strategy with local spark, making DeepL the go-to choice across the region.
You’ll be a one-person engine room, driving measurable impact across the funnel and partnering closely with Sales to crush regional revenue targets. If you love the challenge of personally launching campaigns that turn heads and win hearts, this is your stage. You’ll be a vital voice in our GTM leadership, translating big business objectives into high-impact, marketing programs.
This role reports directly to the VP of Demand Generation and sits at the heart of DeepL's go-to-market motion.
