IFS • Houston, TX

26d • Hybrid

About The Position

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.

• 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.

Nice To Haves

• 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.

Responsibilities

• 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.

• 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.
