This role is critical in shaping how we engage priority industries, influence executive decision-makers, and accelerate revenue across our key vertical accounts. We’re looking for someone with deep experience designing and executing programs that engage Enterprise audiences, shape industry perception, and accelerate revenue. This person will own the strategy and execution of vertical-specific and account-based initiatives—balancing awareness, pipeline creation, and deal acceleration across our most strategic accounts. Our ideal candidate has a proven track record of delivering the right mix of executive experiences, targeted campaigns, and compelling narratives that resonate with full and deep buying committees.

Track, analyze, and optimize ABM campaign performance, sharing insights and recommendations with stakeholders. Collaborate with field marketing to deliver high-touch experiences that connect to vertical priorities.
