Interim Global Demand Lead - Maternity Leave Coverage

The Interim Global Demand Lead (Maternity Leave Coverage) safeguards continuity and performance of Ultimo’s demand generation activities during a temporary period. This role focuses strictly on priority execution, performance monitoring, and team enablement within a 20-hour workweek and manages a team of 4 direct reports and 2 indirect reports.

Rather than redefining strategy, this role ensures that ongoing initiatives across content, campaigns, and events remain aligned to pipeline objectives and commercial impact. The focus is on optimization, removing roadblocks, budget control, and disciplined prioritization.

Reporting to the CMO, this is a senior interim role with a strong operational lens. The ideal candidate brings decisiveness, clarity in prioritization, and the ability to maintain momentum without expanding scope.
