We serve finance teams across 32+ countries, cutting month-end close time and reconciling 99.7% of transactions with zero manual touch. AI runs through the platform as core infrastructure, not a bolted-on feature - and we hire the top 1% of talent in every function to keep building it that way.\nWhy Payhawk\nPayhawk, where the bold builders make an impact.\nWe're not a family, we're a high-performance team - and that's deliberate. We debate, ideate, and push each other to be better, because the best ideas come from direct feedback. We've already made history as Bulgaria's first unicorn, but the ambition doesn't stop there: if you want to grow fast - own it; do not wait for it.\nGive: Honest opinions, real ownership, a focus on outcomes.\nGet: A front-row seat to a market leader in one of the fastest-moving industries.\nThe role, in one line\nYou will lead three Demand Generation Managers and own the pipeline their regions generate against regional sales targets, as a player-coach who stays close enough to the work to show what good looks like.\nWhat you will own\nOutcomes\nPipeline generated across your team’s regions against regional sales targets, for new business and expansion. This is your Northstar metric.\nMRR won across your team’s regions.\nMRR won from Named Accounts, and the number of Named Accounts won, across your team’s regions.\nPipeline from Named Accounts across your team’s regions, delivered together with the ABM lead.\nA steady monthly flow of “Engaged” Named Accounts.\nHigher Engaged-to-SAL conversion rates, driven by campaign motions that are highly relevant to each account.\nPipeline generated at a strong return per euro spent, with spending decisions you can justify.\nA team of three Demand Generation Managers who each hit their regional plan, grow in the role and want to stay.\nTeam leadership\nLead, coach and develop three Demand Generation Managers. Give each one clear regional ownership, clear goals and regular one-to-ones.\nSet the standard for how the team plans, runs experiments, writes briefs and reports. Review their plans and results against it.\nRecruit, onboard and grow the team. Build a culture of ownership, structured testing and continuous learning.\nBalance workload and priorities across regions so no manager is spread too thin. Step in when a region needs support.\nRegional strategy and planning\nDefine the demand generation and channel strategy for your team’s regions, across New Business and Expansion motions and across channels. Agree each manager’s regional plan.\nMake sure each manager briefs marketing shared services with a rolling campaign brief. Represent your regions in the quarterly regional planning cycle and in weekly marketing meetings.\nPrioritise initiatives ruthlessly against the go-to-market strategy, so the regional teams are not spread too thin.\nOwn the relationship with regional sales leadership. Make sure each manager owns the day-to-day relationship with their regional sales team.\nOperating cadence and reporting\nLead the monthly regional review for your regions. Report outcomes and insights, not just activities, and set out your priorities and strategy so leadership stays aligned.\nJustify spending decisions and marketing return on investment.\nBring a passionate, positive attitude that carries through your team and the regional commercial teams.\nBudget\nBe the final owner of your team’s regional campaign budgets. Decide how to split them across demand generation and demand capture channels, initiatives and regions to get the most cost-efficiency and marketing return on investment.\nHold each manager accountable for spending within their allocation, and for the return on it.\nCampaign execution\nWork with the ABM lead so regional campaigns and named-account plays share campaign structure, hypotheses, personas and targeting. Keep them aligned to the Named Accounts structure in the Revenue Org.\nBuild and maintain the framework and rules for how accounts move through the funnel stages.\nMake sure the team launches campaigns fast, tests relentlessly and refines based on real-world feedback. Share what works across regions.\nStay hands-on with key campaign assets (ads, emails, landing pages), and work with the Content team on localisation.\nRun multi-touch, multi-channel campaigns, including digital ads, outbound email and gifting.\nPlan regional co-marketing with the Partner Marketing lead. Align regional nurture and customer programmes with Lifecycle.\nTrack and analyse campaign effectiveness with Marketing Operations, and find where to optimise.\nSales alignment\nWork closely with the BDR team so ABM signals shape outreach and drive conversion.\nWork closely with the AE team so MQLs are picked up promptly and handled expertly, and we win the pipeline we create.\nAI adoption\nLead on AI adoption and use it to change how the role and the team work. For example:Cut campaign build time, so a brief becomes live ads, emails and landing pages in hours rather than weeks.\nPersonalise one-to-many at named-account scale, which used to be impossible without a much larger team.\nUse AI to monitor and optimise live campaigns, adjusting targeting, spend and creative in real time.\n\nHelp each manager build the same habits, so AI becomes part of how the whole team works.\nWhat you will need\nMust-have\n7+ years of demand generation experience.\nExperience leading and developing a team of demand generation or marketing professionals, with a record of growing people as well as results.\nProven experience building marketing strategies that support an outbound motion.\nA proven track record of generating demand with Enterprise accounts.\nExperience building programmatic marketing campaigns.\nExperience working with a growth mindset, meaning you run a high volume of structured experiments to make marketing more effective.\nProven ability to own a multi-region plan and budget, and to justify spending decisions to senior leadership.\nA hands-on approach. You do not just set strategy: you write copy, build landing pages and test new tools.\nStrong leadership skills.\nClear communication and good collaboration skills.\nFluent English.\nWillingness to work from one of Payhawk’s UK or European offices.\nNice-to-have\nExperience in B2B SaaS or fintech.\nPayhawk is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer.
