About Shopify

Shopify has redefined commerce by raising the standard for how companies of all sizes sell their products and services. To help power 1,000,000+ merchants in more than 175 different countries, Shopify is always growing and finding new ways to create more value for commerce businesses around the world.

As Senior Marketing Manager for Germany, you will be the voice of the region for our North American and wider European teams. You will be fluent in written and spoken German and be part of the leadership team driving growth and impact in Germany and the broader DACH region. More specifically, you will be responsible for crafting our go-to-market and marketing strategy in Germany, in a B2B marketing role.

You will be responsible for deeply understanding our merchants, the needs of the market, segmentation, and translating this into an executable strategy that drives demand. As part of the EMEA marketing team, you will work collaboratively across demand generation, partnerships, field marketing, product marketing and content marketing to build community and drive brand awareness, growth and retention.

This is the first marketing hire in Germany so you’ll be building the foundations in one of our key countries and passionately advocating for the needs of local customers.  This is a critical hire for our business to turbo-charge growth in the region. We need someone who can build relationships cross-functionally and across time zones, understand the business quickly and is an independent thinker and problem solver. This role has the potential to grow into a leadership role and manage a team and substantial budget.
