The Role

The Head of Americas Marketing is the senior marketing partner to PIMCO's largest and most established businesses. Covering the United States, Canada and Latin America across institutional, wealth and intermediary channels, the role faces off with business and distribution leadership, translates their commercial priorities into full-funnel marketing plans, and is accountable for marketing's contribution to asset growth, client retention, and client experiences.

This is a seat for a leader who has run a full-scale marketing organization and wants the commercial proximity of a business-facing role. The successful candidate leads with a digital-first mindset, knows the target audiences well enough to anticipate how allocators, advisors and intermediary firms evaluate managers, and is fluent across the full marketing toolkit: integrated campaigns, paid media, events, content, digital channels and account-based programs.

The role operates within a connected global marketing organization. The Head of Americas Marketing owns the regional agenda and business relationships, translating regional priorities into clear requirements and influencing delivery across a global matrix.
