Role Overview

We are seeking a strategic marketing professional to step in as Marketing Key Account Lead on a fixed-term maternity leave cover. This position sits within Trimble’s Creative Services team and focuses on turning insight-led content into effective marketing activity that supports business growth.

The ideal person is comfortable working in digital-first environments, can manage campaigns from start to finish, and knows how to translate performance data into practical improvements. The role combines client partnership, content direction, project leadership, and campaign optimisation.

About the Company

About Creative Services

The team includes design, content, user experience, and translation specialists who focus on delivering strong-quality solutions for Trimble business areas and subsidiary companies.

What the Role Involves

This is a consultative and project-led position rather than a routine account management role. You will help shape marketing direction by strengthening creative ideas and digital strategy, from building awareness to delivering global demand-generation campaigns informed by data.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as the main strategic contact for internal clients and work as an extension of their marketing communications team to align activity with growth priorities.
• Support, coordinate, manage, or guide the creation of compelling multi-channel content that strengthens brand messaging and encourages creative thinking.
• Take ownership of projects from initial concept through launch, including control of timelines, budgets, and resource planning.
• Review campaign and content performance using data insights, A/B testing, and key metrics to improve digital strategy, increase return on investment, and boost engagement.

Required Experience and Skills

You should bring either a bachelor’s degree in a relevant field or at least 7 years of experience in a comparable marketing role.

The role also calls for 3–5 years of experience in marketing communications, with proven ability to plan, deliver, and evaluate multi-channel digital campaigns. You will need strong project leadership skills, including the ability to juggle priorities, meet deadlines, and manage complex workstreams and budgets. Strong interpersonal ability is essential, especially when influencing different stakeholders and working toward shared outcomes.

Preferred Background

Extra value will be given to candidates with experience in visual communications, interactive multimedia, or technical marketing. Familiarity with large, complex corporate environments is also considered an advantage.

Logistics

This role is based onsite in Christchurch, New Zealand. There is no travel requirement.
