Dr. Martens is more than a brand - it’s a global icon with over 60 years of attitude, heritage, and cultural impact. We’re a thriving, values‑driven business powered by diverse thinkers, bold doers, and people who bring their whole selves to work. If you’re ready to make your mark, you’re in the right place.
At DM, our values guide everything we do: Be Yourself, Act Courageously, Show You Care. They’re not just words - they’re how we turn passion into progress.
WHERE YOU SIT
As our GTM Calender Lead you’ll be part of the Global Marketplace & GTM team working closely with brilliant people across the business and reporting into Head of GTM Ops. You’ll be right at the heart of fast‑moving projects that shape how we show up for our consumers - today and tomorrow.
WHERE YOU CONTRIBUTE
The GTM Calendar Lead is responsible for ensuring the business operates to a single, disciplined, globally aligned Go‑to‑Market calendar that enables cross‑functional clarity, predictable sequencing, and efficient execution across Brand, Product, Merchandising, Markets, Channels, and Operations.
This role acts as the central orchestrator of seasonal, commercial, and operational milestones, ensuring all teams have the correct visibility, lead times, and interdependencies required to deliver a cohesive and consumer‑right GTM process. You bring consistency, governance, and change‑control discipline to enable the GTM engine to run smoothly, reduce rework, and improve commercial outcomes.
You ensure that the GTM calendar reflects strategic priorities, channel needs, consumer insights, and global–local operating model requirements. Through clear governance, cross‑functional alignment, and rigorous milestone tracking, you help the organisation deliver high‑quality storytelling, optimised assortment decisions, improved commercial readiness, and stronger marketplace execution.
CORE ACCOUNTABILITIES
As our GTM Calender Lead, you will be responsible for:
- Own & govern the global GTM calendar: Maintain a single, end‑to‑end calendar covering product, brand, campaign and commercial milestones, with clear governance, data discipline and milestone definitions aligned to strategy.
- Drive cross‑functional alignment: Lead the GTM Calendar Council, clarifying roles, responsibilities and handoffs across Brand, Markets, Product, Merchandising and Ops to improve sequencing and reduce duplication.
- Manage change, risk & dependencies: Oversee change control, track milestone risks, and manage cross‑functional dependencies to prevent bottlenecks and strengthen decision-making and readiness.
- Enable visibility & continuous improvement: Ensure clear communication and visibility across global and market teams, while continuously refining the calendar, embedding the operating model, and improving efficiency and capability across functions.
KEY SKILLS & CAPABILITIES
Put simply, the key things we’re looking for are:
- Project & programme leadership: Manage complex, cross‑functional GTM processes with clear governance, structured forums, and strong control of interdependencies and handoffs.
- End‑to‑end GTM expertise: Deep understanding of the full GTM lifecycle across product, merchandising, brand, market activation, commercial planning and operational readiness.
- Stakeholder influence & clarity: Align and influence senior cross‑functional teams, resolve conflicts, and bring structure to ambiguity through clear roles, sequencing and decision-making.
- Detail‑driven execution with strategic impact: Combine strong sequencing logic, planning discipline and communication clarity with a strategic mindset to drive performance, governance and continuous improvement.
