• Translate the global marketing strategy and asset-class priorities into a regional marketing strategy and implementation plan, agreeing priorities with the Chief Marketing Officer and with investment, distribution and product colleagues.
• Lead regional media and PR activity: build relationships with financial, trade and national press; manage proactive and reactive PR, thought-leadership placement, awards and speaking opportunities.
• Direct regional digital activity, including website content, social channels, email and paid campaigns, working with the global digital team to keep brand, tone and tooling consistent.
• Plan and deliver the regional events programme, including proprietary events and sponsored conferences and forums, with clear objectives, budgets and post-event follow-up.
• Select, brief and manage external providers (for example PR, creative, digital, events and research agencies), including scope, budget, contracts and performance.
• Own the regional marketing budget and set KPIs; monitor the results of marketing activity, report to the Chief Marketing Officer and recommend adjustments to our approach as needed.

Patria Private Equity Trust

• Act as marketing lead for our retail UK-listed trust, owning campaigns, website, board packs, PR, events and investor documents.
• Prepare for and manage the Trust’s events.
• Work with the investment team to produce content for public distribution, such as factsheets, portfolio commentary, presentations, articles and video.

• Support the team on all earnings calls, including materials, Q&A preparation, scheduling, distribution and follow-up.
• Manage external third-party providers to the Trust (for example PR, design and print, web and shareholder-engagement providers), ensuring quality, cost control and delivery to deadline.
• Report on marketing activity to the Trust’s Board and feed back shareholder, analyst and market insight to the investment team.

Brand, compliance and team

• Ensure all materials meet Patria brand standards and applicable regulatory requirements (for example FCA financial promotion rules and listed-company disclosure obligations), working with Compliance and Legal on review and approval and maintaining clear approval workflows and records.
• Work as part of the global Marketing team and with colleagues across asset classes and functions to ensure seamless delivery and consistent messaging.
• Build and lead the regional marketing resource, including any direct reports and external support, as Patria’s presence in the Developed Regions grows.
