This role requires regular travel interstate and overseas for events and company meets.You will own

• The plan and the number. Build the APAC demand generation plan against the pipeline targets the business sets each year, win buy-in from sales and marketing leadership, then execute and optimise it, carrying marketing-sourced pipeline for the region.
• The budget. Manage budget allocation across segments and channels, and reconcile spend against allocation, purchase orders and contracted amounts.
• The campaign portfolio. Design and run full-funnel campaigns at regional level for scale, and at country and segment level for the specifics: ICP and buying committee, local language and local proof, and the channel mix that works in that market.
• Elevate the brand experience in every interaction. Make sure the business shows up consistently and deliberately in region, across campaigns, digital, events and partner programmes. Adapt the global brand and messaging so they land credibly with APAC audiences and hold the agencies and partners representing us to the same standard.
• Own the prospect and customer journey. Understand the buying journey in each market, from first touch through to closed won and beyond, and design the experience that moves people through it. Bring the voice of the prospect and customer into targeting, messaging and campaign strategy, and work with sales to turn our strongest customers in region into references, case studies and advocates.
• Digital and our agencies. Set channel mix, targeting, budget and KPIs across paid search and social, programmatic and ABM, SEO and web CRO, syndication, email and lifecycle, and hold the agencies delivering them to account.
• The content the region needs. Identify the gaps by market, brief and steer internal and agency resources to fill them and adapt global assets so they land with APAC audiences. Positioning and messaging sit with our International Product Marketing lead and our in-region subject matter experts; you bring the market insight that shapes how they are applied in APAC.
• Marketing and sales as one revenue team. Map your demand plans to the regional segment and territory plans so marketing directly supports revenue and growth goals. Set shared goals and follow-up SLAs across marketing, sales and BDR, and run pipeline reviews. You will also coach the sales team on how demand is built and what to expect from marketing. Raising marketing maturity in the region is a real part of this job, not a side effect of it.
• APAC media and customer relationships. Hold the relationships with regional legal media, publications and industry bodies that extend our reach, and stay in direct contact with customers in region. Identify paid and earned media opportunities and work with our Global PR lead to manage and execute them.
• A voice in international planning. Contribute to how the business set regional and segment priorities across the international business, at campaign and channel level, and lead the marketing approach as we assess new APAC markets.Partner marketing and events, in region
• Partner Co-marketing. Work closely with our APAC Channel Partner Manager and our Channel Partner Marketing lead to identify co-marketing opportunities with key in-market partners, and own the execution of those programmes in region: co-branded campaigns, joint events and partner-led demand, aligned to the international channel partner strategy.
• Events. Lead the APAC calendar of owned, industry, partner and hosted events, set in step with our International Events lead and delivered with in-region agencies on logistics. Every event has a demand plan and a sales motion in place before it runs. This includes the executive and account-based programmes: roundtables, dinners, briefings and user groups that open and accelerate named accounts.About You
• 8+ years in B2B marketing, including at least 4 years leading regional demand generation in APAC, owning strategy and hands-on delivery with clear accountability for pipeline.
• Deep full-funnel capability. You can walk us through a regional campaign portfolio you led end to end: audience, offer, channel mix, sales motion, measurement, and what you changed when it underperformed.
• Real multi-market experience. You have marketed into more than one of ANZ, Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan, and you know what genuinely differs country to country, including the privacy and consent rules that shape execution (Spam Act, NZ Privacy Act, PDPA, PDPO, APPI).
• Strong digital command and content judgement. You have enough depth to set strategy, write a sharp brief, interrogate an agency recommendation and challenge performance, and to work out what content a market needs and get it made well without waiting for headquarters.
• Proven autonomy. You have been the marketing function for a region rather than a member of a large team, and you can point to what you built with minimal support or direction.
• Delivery through people who do not report to you: global function owners, partner organisations, agencies and regional sales. You can point to a track record of raising marketing literacy in a commercial organisation.
• You build mechanisms, not just plans: the cadences, operating models and shared goals that keep teams aligned without constant intervention.
• Senior judgement and ruthless prioritisation. You can run many concurrent programmes with agency support rather than a team, and you are willing to flex hours for London and North America.Nice To Have
• Experience marketing into APAC territories beyond ANZ: Japan, Singapore or Hong Kong.
• B2B SaaS experience, ideally in legal technology or another regulated, considered-purchase category, marketing to both SMB and enterprise.
• Hands-on experience with Salesforce, Marketo and Power BI or a comparable reporting tool, plus ON24, Claude, WordPress, Canva, Gong and Asana (or similar tools).
• An additional APAC language such as Japanese or Mandarin.Your First YearIn the first 90 days you will know where APAC is over- and under-invested and where the content gaps are, you will have built relationships across regional sales, BDR, partner and global marketing, and you will have presented your regional demand plan against the year’s pipeline targets.By six months the plan is live, a measurement framework leadership trusts is in place, and SLAs are operating.Why This Role?High-impact role with direct influence on pipeline and revenue growthOpportunity to shape APAC demand generation and marketing strategyFlexible hybrid / remote-friendly working environmentJoin a growth-focused team in a fast-moving SaaS / professional services marketIf you’re a commercially minded and energetic senior marketer who thrives in demand generation, building campaigns, analysing performance, and driving measurable growth, we’d love to hear from you.This role is open to Australian citizens and permanent residents only.
