Description

Shape the future of Canon's Integrated Printing & Services Group (IPSG) content engine across EMEA. We’re looking for a strategic, operational marketing communications leader to run Canon’s insourced content function—owning the resource, processes, and operating model that underpin integrated B2B communications at scale. This role is less about hands‑on PR delivery and more about building and leading a high‑performing content operation: setting standards, defining ways of working, enabling cross‑functional delivery, and managing change across a complex European matrix. If you thrive in transforming how organisations plan, create, and activate content across markets, this role is for you. The salary for this role is between £57,276 - £68,185 depending on experience, plus a 10% annual bonus. Canon is transforming how we plan, create, and scale B2B content across Europe as part of a new marketing operating model. This role is a pivotal position accountable for both the quality of content output and the operational performance of Canon’s insourced content model. As Marketing Communications Lead, you will own the end‑to‑end content operating model—from briefing, prioritisation, and strategic alignment through to delivery, governance, localisation, and market activation. You will lead a 13‑person insourced content team, delivered via an embedded agency partner, responsible for value proposition development, persona definition, content strategy, project management, content creation and localisation. Crucially, this role ensures that the content function works as an integrated engine, tightly connected with PR, Social, Web Publishing, Localisation, Paid Media, and central marketing teams—while enabling local EMEA markets to activate content efficiently and consistently. Sitting at European HQ, this role blends marketing operations leadership, people leadership, and change management, shaping scalable ways of working and driving continuous improvement across Canon’s communications ecosystem. At Canon, we’ve been inspiring people to capture and share their world for over 85 years. As a global leader in imaging and innovation, we’re driven by bold ideas, collaboration, and a commitment to making a positive impact. With a strong presence across EMEA for over 60 years, our regional HQs in London and Amstelveen support operations in 120+ markets. We’re proud of our diverse, inclusive culture and our philosophy of Kyosei – living and working together for the common good. Why Join Us? • Be part of a diverse, energetic team, joining 50+ nationalities at our EMEA HQ • Enjoy hybrid working (3 days in office, 2 from home) • Benefit from flexible hours, professional development, and a wide range of perks • Minimum of 25 days of personal holiday per year with up to 5 days of available holiday purchase • Access a competitive salary, wide-ranging benefits, a generous pension scheme and up to 38% discount on Canon products • Be part of a company that values sustainability, inclusion, and your personal growth • Great transport links- Elizabeth Line and Stockley Park low-cost Shuttle Bus and free parking on site If you’re visionary, innovative, and ready to make an impact – we’d love to hear from you. With Canon, you'll get the support and encouragement you need to grow from people who share your ambition. We'll invest in your professional development to help you learn and progress in your role with us. You'll find leaders who give you the freedom to explore new things and a team where knowledge is shared openly. At Canon we have a clear vision: to be committed to creating a more inclusive and equitable culture where employees are valued and can thrive personally and professionally. Canon also has a strong commitment to sustainability, encompassed by our Kyosei philosophy of living and working together for the common good, focused on reducing our environmental impact and creating opportunities to make positive social contribution.
