5What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing in Where you are nowThe step above
Campaign Asset Localisation Execute localisation based on provided guidelines; escalate any cultural or linguistic ambiguities to Global Marketing Specialist. Independently manage the localisation process for specific campaigns; propose solutions for complex cultural adaptations. Design and refine the global localisation strategy and guidelines; approve final localised assets for major campaigns.
Vendor Communication & Coordination Communicate with translation agencies for asset delivery and status updates; escalate any service issues or delays to manager. Manage relationships with key localisation vendors; negotiate minor project timelines and scope changes. Select and onboard new international marketing vendors; define service level agreements and manage overall vendor performance.
Reporting & Data Analysis Pull pre-defined reports from Marketo/GA4; present raw data to manager for interpretation. Build custom dashboards in Tableau for specific campaign analysis; identify initial trends and propose hypotheses. Define key performance indicators (KPIs) for global campaigns; conduct deep-dive analysis to inform strategic adjustments.
Budget Allocation (Minor) No budget authority. Inform manager of any unexpected costs from vendors. Manage small campaign budgets (e.g., £5K-£10K) for a specific channel, with manager approval for larger spends. Allocate budgets up to £50K for specific workstreams; make recommendations for larger budget shifts.

6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

On-time Asset Delivery Rate
The percentage of marketing assets (e.g., translated web copy, localised ad creatives) delivered to regional teams or external platforms by their agreed deadline.
Target · >98% consistently

If you're responsible for 50 asset deliveries in a month, you'd need to hit 49 on time. Missing one or two is okay for learning, but we'll be tracking this closely.

Campaign-Specific Engagement Benchmarks
How well the specific social media posts or email segments you've helped prepare perform against predefined engagement targets (e.g., click-through rates, open rates).
Target · Meet or exceed campaign benchmarks (e.g., 2% CTR on social posts, 20% open rate on emails)

For a new product launch campaign, if the target open rate for a specific regional email is 20%, and your segment achieves 22%, you've done well.

Social Media Follower Growth (Assigned Regions)
The percentage increase in followers for the social media channels you're supporting in specific international markets.
Target · 5% quarter-over-quarter growth in assigned regions

If you're supporting our German LinkedIn page, we'd expect to see a 5% increase in followers from Q1 to Q2, for instance, from 10,000 to 10,500.

Reporting Accuracy & Timeliness
The precision of the data you pull for reports and how consistently these reports are delivered by their due date.
Target · <1% error rate in data, 100% on-time delivery

If you're pulling website traffic numbers from GA4, we'll check that the dates are correct, the filters are applied properly, and the numbers match what a senior analyst would pull.

Proactive Communication
You keep your manager and relevant regional teams in the loop, flagging potential issues before they become problems, and asking questions when you're unsure.
  • Evidence: You'll send a quick email saying 'Heads up, the translation agency is running a day late on the German assets, I've already chased them.' or 'Just checking, should this social post go live at 9 AM GMT or local time for each region?'
Attention to Detail
You catch the small things that others might miss, like a typo in a translated headline, an incorrect link, or a misaligned image, before it goes live.
  • Evidence: Your manager rarely finds errors in the assets you've reviewed. Regional teams comment on the quality of the materials you've prepared. You'll spot that the call-to-action button in the French ad points to the English landing page.
Willingness to Learn & Adapt
You actively seek feedback, ask questions, and quickly pick up new tools, processes, or cultural nuances. You don't get flustered when plans change.
  • Evidence: You'll ask for clarification on feedback, take notes during training, and show you've applied new learnings. When a regional team asks for a last-minute change, you'll say 'No problem, I'll get that sorted' rather than getting stressed.
Support for Regional Teams
Regional marketing teams feel you're a helpful, reliable resource, making their lives easier by getting them what they need, when they need it.
  • Evidence: Regional managers will occasionally mention how helpful you've been in their weekly updates. You'll be seen as the 'go-to' person for asset requests or basic reporting needs.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Seeing Your Work Go Live Globally

You'll feel a real buzz when you see a social media post you helped localise go live in France, or when a translated landing page you reviewed starts getting traffic in Brazil. It's about tangible impact.

Example: Spotting one of 'your' translated ads on a website in a foreign market, or seeing a regional manager thank you for getting assets to them on time for a big launch.

Learning the Ropes of International Marketing

You're excited by the idea of understanding how marketing works in different countries, learning about cultural nuances, and getting hands-on with various marketing tools. Every day is a learning opportunity.

Example: Taking notes during a team meeting about a new market entry strategy, or spending extra time exploring a new feature in Marketo that could help streamline a process.

Being a Reliable Team Player

You enjoy being the person everyone can count on to get things done accurately and on time. You like knowing your contributions are essential to the team's overall success, even if they're not always in the spotlight.

Example: Your manager asks you to take on a new, slightly tedious task, and you tackle it efficiently, knowing it helps the whole team move forward. You're happy to jump in and help a colleague if they're swamped.

What frustrates people
  • Chasing regional teams for approvals or content – sometimes it feels like pulling teeth across different time zones.
  • Dealing with last-minute changes to campaign assets after you've already sent them for translation.
  • The occasional cultural misunderstanding or miscommunication that could have been avoided.
  • Doing repetitive tasks that feel a bit manual, even if they're necessary.
  • Not always seeing the 'big picture' impact of every single task you complete.
What this role does not give you
  • Significant strategic decision-making authority or budget ownership (not at this level, anyway).
  • A purely creative role with no administrative or repetitive tasks.
  • A '9-to-5, switch off completely' environment – sometimes urgent requests from different time zones will pop up.
  • The chance to ignore details and focus solely on the 'fun' parts of marketing.

8Who you work with

This role is absolutely vital for the smooth operation of our international marketing campaigns. Without you, content wouldn't get localised, assets wouldn't reach the right teams, and our global message would feel a bit disjointed. Your accuracy and efficiency directly support the regional teams in hitting their local targets, which in turn contributes to our overall global market presence and revenue goals. Essentially, you're helping us speak to the world in a way that feels personal and relevant.

Inside the business
  • Global Marketing Specialist (your direct manager)
  • Regional Marketing Managers (across EMEA, APAC, AMER)
  • Product Marketing Team
  • Sales Support Teams
  • Internal Creative & Content Teams
Outside the business
  • Translation Agencies
  • Localisation Vendors
  • External Creative Agencies (for asset delivery)
  • Social Media Management Tools/Partners

9What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • A genuine interest in international business and different cultures – you'll be working with people all over the world, so curiosity is key.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English, as it's our primary business language. Any additional languages are a huge bonus, obviously!
  • A solid grasp of basic office software (Microsoft Office Suite, especially Excel and PowerPoint) – you'll be making presentations and managing data.
  • Proven organisational skills, perhaps from previous work experience, university projects, or even managing a busy personal schedule.
  • A proactive attitude; you don't wait to be told what to do if you see something that needs doing (within your scope, of course).

10What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced Marketo & Salesforce Integration

As you progress, you'll need to understand how Marketo and Salesforce 'talk' to each other. This is crucial for tracking lead journeys, understanding campaign influence, and troubleshooting data issues.

Lead Lifecycle Management · Data Sync & Field Mapping · Campaign Influence Reporting

  • This month: Ask your manager or a senior colleague to walk you through a complex Marketo-Salesforce workflow. Take detailed notes.
  • Next quarter: Volunteer for tasks that involve troubleshooting minor data discrepancies between the two platforms.
  • Within 6 months: Try to build a simple custom report in Salesforce that pulls Marketo campaign data.
  • Within 9 months: Shadow a RevOps team member to understand how they manage the integration and data hygiene.

Quick win: Whenever you see a lead in Salesforce, check its Marketo activity history. This helps you understand the connection.

Advanced GA4 Event Tracking & Custom Reports

Moving beyond basic traffic reports, you'll need to understand how to set up custom event tracking in GA4 to capture specific user actions. This gives us much richer data to optimise campaigns.

Event-Based Data Model · Custom Events & Parameters · Explorations & Custom Reports

  • This month: Complete Google's free GA4 training courses. They're really good and cover the basics thoroughly.
  • Next quarter: Work with a senior analyst to understand how they set up event tracking for a new campaign. Ask to help document it.
  • Within 6 months: Propose a new custom event to track a specific user action on our website that we're currently missing.
  • Within 9 months: Build your first custom 'Exploration' report in GA4 to analyse a specific campaign's performance.

Quick win: Spend 30 minutes each week exploring different sections of GA4. Click around, see what data is available, and try to understand what each report is telling you.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly read industry blogs and publications (e.g., Marketing Week, The Drum, Adweek) to stay on top of trends in global marketing.
  • Attend free webinars or online courses on topics like cultural marketing, digital analytics, or specific marketing tools.
  • Join relevant professional groups on LinkedIn to network and learn from others in the field.
  • Seek out mentorship opportunities, either formally or informally, from more experienced marketers.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a lot of entry-level marketing tasks can be a bit repetitive, even if they're important. Imagine getting through that grunt work much faster, freeing you up for more interesting stuff and deeper learning. That's where AI comes in.

We're not talking about robots taking over your job; we're talking about smart tools that act as your personal assistant, helping you with everything from drafting social posts to checking translations. You'll be learning to use these tools from day one, giving you a serious edge.

Automated Content Drafting

Use AI to quickly draft initial versions of social media posts, email snippets, or even blog outlines for different regions. You'll provide the core message, and the AI will generate options, saving you loads of time on first drafts. You'll still add the human touch, of course.

Enhanced Transcreation Support

Instead of just getting a literal translation, AI can help suggest culturally relevant phrases and adaptations for your campaign messages. It's like having a local expert give you ideas, which you can then review and refine with our agencies, making your assets much more impactful.

Smarter Report Summaries

Feed your raw data from GA4 or Marketo into an AI tool, and it can quickly summarise key trends and highlights for your manager. This means less time manually sifting through numbers and more time understanding what they actually mean.

Efficient Scheduling & Task Management

AI-powered tools can help you optimise your social media scheduling across different time zones or even suggest the best times to send emails. Plus, they can help you prioritise your Asana tasks based on urgency and dependencies, keeping you super organised.
