We are supporting a global festival promoter in the search for an Interim Head of Marketing Germany, appointed to lead marketing activity for a major European music event. This senior, commercial role spans digital presence, audience growth, ticketing, merchandising and more. Fluency in both German and English is essential.

Commercial and Digital Focus

This is a hands-on, senior role with clear commercial accountability. The focus is on transactional, digital and e-commerce marketing. In particular, the role is centred on driving revenue through performance marketing and CRM.

Initially offered as a 6-month fixed-term contract, the successful candidate will have accountability for commercial outcomes. They will also work closely with group marketing leadership to identify growth opportunities.

About You – Senior Marketing Leadership in Music and Live Events

You’ll be a proven operator at a senior level, the kind of marketing leader who feels equally at home at the coalface as in the boardroom. Critically, you will definitely need demonstrable experience in music (label/distributor/platform/talent), live events & festivals, arts or entertainment (or another clearly relatable industry), so please do not apply without this.

You will bring bags of expertise in digital, performance and e-commerce marketing, ideally within a transaction-led business, and a track record of delivering local digital and acquisition-led marketing programmes. And if you’ve done this in a global environment, even better.

Naturally, you’ll be commercially astute, delivery-focused and comfortable operating at pace and to deadlines.
