This is a senior regional marketing leadership role for a true 360° brand marketer: someone who can move seamlessly from insight and strategy through to execution, who understands how brand and performance work together to fuel growth, and who can build brands that are culturally relevant, commercially effective, and deeply resonant for the audiences they serve. Based in Paris, this leader will drive European marketing plans and business performance for key Europe brands, while partnering with broader global teams to ensure consistency in brand positioning, messaging, and standards across markets. This role is especially critical for Meetic and OurTime / DisonsDemain, two brands with strong foundations and meaningful market presence, each at an important moment of evolution. Success in this role will require the ability to sharpen positioning, strengthen local relevance, create standout campaigns, and connect brand investment to measurable business growth.
