Your Impact

We’re looking for a Senior Manager of Customer Marketing to help us uncover, shape, and amplify the most compelling stories from our customers. This role focuses on building trusted relationships with customers and with our internal Customer Success and Sales teams, to surface real, credible stories that demonstrate business impact. You’ll be the connective tissue between our customers’ lived experiences and our corporate narrative, translating complex implementations into clear, sales-relevant proof points. From long-form case studies and videos to social content, ads, executive speaking opportunities, and sales enablement anecdotes, you’ll help ensure customer stories show up consistently and convincingly across the business. This is a hands-on role that combines strategic ownership with direct content creation. This role sits within Corporate Communications and works closely with Customer Success, Sales, Product Marketing, and Demand Gen. This role is hybrid, with three days a week spent in our Durham (US), Boston (US) or London (UK) office.

You will:

• Build and maintain strong, trust-based relationships with priority customers, in close partnership with Customer Success and Account teams.
• Develop a deep understanding of customers’ business goals, challenges, and outcomes to identify stories with strong commercial and narrative value.
• Act as a thoughtful, respectful steward of customer relationships—grounded in mutual value, not one-off asks.
• Own the end-to-end development and distribution of customer stories across multiple formats and channels, including written case studies, video, social posts, sales decks, and executive speaking engagements.
• Partner with internal teams and external agencies to bring stories to life with high editorial quality and strong narrative focus.
• Ensure stories are modular and reusable across channels and stages of the buyer journey.
• Work closely with Sales and Product Marketing to surface customer stories that clearly articulate business value.
• Translate customer outcomes into sales-ready proof points, anecdotes, and “in-the-room” stories based on our value drivers.
• Equip Sales and BDR teams with authentic customer narratives that feel credible, relevant, and human.
• Manage and update customer stories on Highspot for GTM consumption.
• Partner with Customer Success to identify storytelling moments across the customer lifecycle.
• Create lightweight processes for capturing and sharing customer stories internally.
• Maintain a curated, up-to-date repository of customer stories and references.
• Align customer storytelling with broader corporate narratives, brand positioning, and communications priorities.
• Support PR, social media, analyst relations, and executive communications with strong customer proof points.
• Identify and support customer participation in press, awards, and thought leadership opportunities.
