Senior Manager, Cross-Functional Creative Team, Marketing

About the role

Planet is looking for a Senior Manager, Cross-Functional Creative Team, to lead our EMEA-based Creative Studio. In this pivotal role, you will act as both a master of craft and a strategic lead, bridging the gap between global corporate marketing strategies and local, regional field execution. Reporting to the Creative Director, you will own the end-to-end creative lifecycle for a global leader in AI-driven Earth observation, focusing heavily on driving pipeline generation and supporting our regional field marketing and sales teams. You aren't just an individual contributor; you are a brand steward responsible for adapting Planet's global identity for regional audiences and market nuances. You will manage the production of high-impact, multi-channel localized content-ranging from digital ads and email campaigns to regional trade show booths and environmental graphics-while ensuring strict brand consistency across every touchpoint. By balancing high-volume regional execution with long-term strategy, you will ensure our design systems evolve at the same pace as our technology. This is a full-time, hybrid role which will require you to work from our Berlin office 3 days per week.

Collaborate closely with the EMEA Field Marketing Directors, Specialist teams, and Channel partners to support localized growth campaigns and co-marketing initiatives. Maintain and scale Planet's visual language, ensuring all regional assets align with our global brand standards. Collaborate with Marketing, Product, and regional Sales teams to arm local reps with localized collateral, messaging, and account-based marketing (ABM) assets for key targets. Direct a network of external regional contractors and translation/localization agencies to extend the team's bandwidth and specialized capabilities. Refine and optimize creative workflows to improve speed-to-market for dynamic regional field demands without sacrificing design quality. Lead the conceptualization of high-profile regional visual projects-from digital campaigns to international trade show booths, hosted dinners, and executive briefings. Own the evolution and adaptation of Planet's Brand Guidelines for EMEA, translating global messaging for local market nuances and developing templates that empower regional field teams. Manage the end-to-end lifecycle of external design partners, providing creative direction and QA to ensure delivery aligns with strategic regional objectives and budget. Act as a creative consultant to Regional Product Marketing, Communications, and Field teams, bridging the gap between technical specs and compelling customer experiences that drive pipeline. Optimize creative throughput by leveraging AI-driven design tools (Gemini, Figma) and project management platforms (Jira/Monday.com) to support high-volume regional field marketing requests. Present design solutions to senior regional leadership and executives that solve specific business problems, impact pipeline metrics, and align with Planet's overarching mission. What You Bring: 6+ years of relevant design experience, ideally embedded within or supporting a B2B field marketing or regional marketing organization. 4+ years of experience managing a creative team. Bachelor's or Master's Degree in a relevant field.
