Marketing Operations Lead – Content & B2B Communications

Lead the transformation of Canon's Integrated Printing & Services Group (IPSG) marketing communications function across Europe. As Marketing Operations Lead, you'll own the operating model behind integrated B2B campaigns—driving strategy, operational excellence, and cross-functional delivery at scale.

Rather than delivering communications yourself, you'll build and lead a high-performing content and campaign engine, defining processes, embedding best practice, and enabling seamless collaboration across a complex European matrix. If you're passionate about leading marketing transformation, optimising operations, and delivering commercial impact through integrated communications, we'd love to hear from you.

You'll lead a 13-person insourced marketing communications team, delivered through an embedded agency partner, overseeing content strategy, campaign planning, value propositions, audience insights, project delivery, localisation, and activation. Working closely with PR, Social, Digital, Paid Media, Web Publishing, and regional marketing teams, you'll ensure marketing communications are aligned, scalable, and consistently executed across EMEA.

Based at Canon's European Headquarters, this is a highly visible leadership role combining marketing operations, stakeholder management, people leadership, and change transformation to shape the future of Canon's marketing communications capability.

£57,276–£68,185 (depending on experience), plus a 10% annual bonus and benefits.
