Head of Marketing – Automotive | GCC
This is a role for someone who sets the standard — and is ready to raise it.
A leading automotive group in the GCC is appointing a Head of Marketing to take full ownership of the marketing direction across a complex, multi-brand automotive business. The brief is clear: strengthen brand influence, sharpen commercial impact and modernise how marketing drives growth.
This is not about rebuilding from scratch, nor about maintaining the status quo. It is about judgement, pace and influence — knowing where to focus, what to change, and how to deliver results in a high-expectation environment.
The context
- Marketing already has scale, visibility and backing
- The opportunity lies in refinement, integration and leadership
- Success depends on experience leading a large, multi-disciplinary marketing function supporting high-volume automotive brands
- Digital performance, retail effectiveness and customer lifetime value matter as much as brand presence
- Decisions are data-led, but leadership credibility still counts
You will be trusted to set direction, challenge constructively, and align marketing with commercial reality across sales, aftersales and OEM partners.
Who this will resonate with
This will appeal to a senior automotive marketer who:
- Has spent 15+ years in automotive marketing within large-scale, volume-driven brand environments
- Has led substantial marketing teams across digital, brand, retail and CRM
- Is comfortable operating at executive level, influencing peers rather than seeking permission
- Understands how brand, digital, retail and CRM connect — and where they break down
- Has operated successfully in the GCC market and understands its pace, complexity and nuance
The offer
A highly competitive executive package is available, with flexibility for exceptional candidates. The role offers visibility, autonomy and long-term scope for impact.
