Global Digital Marketing Manager (f/m/d)

A Day in Your Life at MKS

As our Global Digital Marketing Manager (f/m/d), you will architect, lead, and scale the digital engine that powers MKS’s global growth. In this strategic leadership role, you will own the digital marketing strategy, marketing technology roadmap, and performance channels that drive demand, pipeline impact, and revenue across global markets.

You will lead a digital strategy and project team while building a modern, integrated MarTech ecosystem (including CRM, automation, and data infrastructure) that enables scalable lead lifecycle management and consistent global execution.
