B2B Lead Strategy & Management Manager

Job DescriptionMarketing's job does not end when a lead comes in. That is where the sale is won or lost. As Manager B2B Lead Strategy & Management (m/f/d), you own SIXT's end-to-end B2B lead lifecycle: capture, enrichment, qualification, and routing into the right conversion path, whether that is digital self-serve booking and account creation, Telesales, Key Account Management, or Global Account Management. You sit where Marketing, Demand Generation, Revenue Operations, and Sales Operations meet, and you build the automations and AI workflows that get leads to the right sales team. The role combines sales strategy thinking with a real appetite for detail, because every customer segment deserves its own best journey, and that is what keeps it varied. Influence, clear service level agreements, and shared metrics matter here as much as the build itself. Join Team Orange in Lisbon!
