Your mission: Lead, develop, and scale a marketing organization — technologically, globally, and with impact!

At Hilscher, we believe that communication creates value. Our technologies ensure that devices, machines, and systems communicate securely, reliably, and in real time worldwide – across industrial networks, automation, IIoT, and connected systems.

In marketing, we believe in the same principle: impact happens when brand, technology, products, the company, and its people work together seamlessly on a global scale. When technical strength becomes clear messaging. When individual initiatives, assets, and channels come together into a consistent global presence. And when communication doesn't just generate attention, but supports growth.

Thought through, planned, and steered globally. Executed locally. Orchestrated centrally.

That's exactly what we're looking for you to do.

As Head of Global Marketing, you will lead and orchestrate our global marketing organization, spanning the HQ team and local marketing functions across EMEA, AMERICAS, and APAC. You are the hub, the pacesetter, and the bridge-builder between brand, technology, product, campaigns, events, digital touchpoints, content, press, CRM, and marketing automation.

You will take over a globally established marketing organization that has been built successfully and operates in a stable, internationally connected way. A strong foundation is already in place – now we're looking for you to carry it forward, deliver strong campaigns and communication, further strengthen global collaboration, and take Hilscher's external presence worldwide to the next level.

Together with the CSMO, Product Management, Sales, the global Sales Units, local marketers, and Managing Directors, you will ensure that Hilscher becomes as visible worldwide as its technological strength deserves: Innovative, driven, expert, and inspiring.

  • You lead clearly, motivationally, and reliably – with a good sense for people, potential, and priorities.
  • You give your team orientation, guardrails, and room to perform at a high level.
