This position is considered hybrid, allowing for a combination of remote work and in-office collaboration. Qualified applicants must live within commuting distance of our Hilversum office and should expect to be in office 3 days per week.


At Sonos, we're on a mission to create the ultimate listening experience, and that starts with listening to each other. As part of the Commercial Marketing team, you'll be the driving force behind how Sonos shows up in the DACH market: at retail, online, and with the partners who bring our products to customers. You'll join a team of five regional Commercial Marketing Managers across EMEA, each running their own market, sharing what works, and pushing each other to raise the bar, reporting directly to the Senior Manager, Commercial Marketing EMEA. You'll work closely with sales, brand, creative, and product marketing, turning global commercial strategy into programs that build lasting loyalty with DACH consumers.

- Execute global commercial playbooks across DACH with precision, from product launches to seasonal promotions, ensuring retail readiness and merchandising quality at every touchpoint.

- Own the regional budget, allocating spend where it drives the most impact.

- Deploy global sales tools, narratives, and launch materials locally, keeping in-market sales teams prepared, aligned, and ahead of key moments.

- Analyse market trends, competitive activity, consumer behaviour, and channel performance to surface opportunities and risks, and turn them into clear recommendations for senior stakeholders.

- Surface local insights, execution challenges, and partner feedback in a structured way that shapes how Sonos operates in the region.

- Act as the connector between sales, retail, distribution, and channel partners, keeping programs joined-up and relevant to the local market.

- Coordinate sales events and partner activations directly with the revenue team.

- Support regional PR activations (earned media), coordinating timing and execution with the broader team.

- Build strong relationships with retail partners, sales, and cross-functional teams, communicating commercial recommendations clearly to drive alignment.
