Job Description

The Global Industry Marketing Director for Oil & Gas owns the marketing strategy and execution for one of IFS's key industry verticals. The role reports into Corporate Marketing but carries full accountability as a member of the Oil & Gas leadership team - bridging central marketing capability with commercial go-to-market execution. 

 

The right candidate has in-depth understanding of the Oil & Gas industry: how operators, EPC contractors, and OFS companies make technology decisions, how buying cycles work, and what a credible IFS value proposition looks like in that context. They are a builder - comfortable setting strategy, developing demand generation programs and getting into the detail of execution - and they know how to align marketing investment directly to pipeline and revenue. 

 

This is a senior role with real commercial ownership. It requires someone who is equally at ease presenting to the leadership team and rolling up their sleeves on a campaign brief. The role spans multiple geographies and time zones, so confidence operating in a global, matrixed environment - aligning regional teams, navigating different market dynamics, and building relationships across cultures - is essential. 

 

The candidate will own the development and execution of Oil & Gas marketing plan globally and work on a variety of programs and actively contribute to the success of the Oil & Gas industry. Typical responsibilities will include:  

  • Define, own, and execute a global marketing strategy and annual demand generation plan that directly supports the growth in the Oil & Gas industry and go-to-market objectives. 
  • Build and lead a high-performing global marketing team; own and manage the Oil & Gas marketing budget, allocating investment across programs to maximize pipeline contribution and return. 
  • Own the content strategy and production of high-impact assets - thought leadership, solution messaging, webinars, event toolkits, and digital content - to support customer acquisition and pipeline goals. 
  • Define and execute an account-based marketing (ABM) strategy for priority target accounts, in close partnership with the sales and business development teams. 
  • Enable business development, account management, and regional marketing teams for key demand generation campaigns - providing clear campaign kits covering audience targeting, messaging, channel mix, execution steps, and success metrics. 
  • Track, analyze, and report on campaign performance - MQLs, SQLs, and pipeline creation - sharing dashboards with stakeholders to drive continuous optimization. 
  • Partner with Product Marketing to sharpen IFS Cloud's Oil & Gas value proposition; own the Oil & Gas pages on ifs.com, optimizing for SEO, AEO, user journey, and pipeline conversion. 
  • Apply AI-powered tools across the marketing workflow - content creation, campaign personalization, analytics, and reporting - to improve output quality and team efficiency. 
  • Lead IFS's presence at priority sector events (ADIPEC, ONS, CERAWeek, OTC, IFS Unleashed, IFS Connect) and manage Oil & Gas analyst relations with Gartner, IDC, and relevant industry bodies. 

Qualifications

There is a 10–25% travel requirement as needed.

Required

  • 10+ years of progressive marketing experience, with at least 5 years in a senior leadership role. 
  • Demonstrable experience marketing to, or working within, the Oil & Gas industry 
  • Proven track record in B2B enterprise software or SaaS marketing - ideally within ERP, EAM, FSM, or adjacent domains. 
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills in English - including the ability to craft compelling executive narratives, present with confidence to senior leadership, and adapt messaging across audiences and formats. 
  • Experience working in a global, matrixed organization, demonstrating a global mindset-able to navigate diverse cultures, collaborate across regions, and adapt marketing strategies to different international markets. 
  • Proven ability to utilize AI-driven marketing technologies and platforms to enhance campaign performance, streamline content development, and automate workflows in B2B environments 
  • Strong leadership and alignment skills across sales and marketing. 

Preferred

  • Familiarity with enterprise MarTech and CRM platforms (e.g., Hubspot, Demandbase, SiteCore, Writer, Canva) and the ability to evaluate and govern their use at scale.
