• Develop Scalable Playbooks: Create and pilot multi‑dimensional program templates, such as executive roundtables, bespoke customer days, and summits, that can be scaled as "playbooks" for the broader global team.
• Master Full‑Funnel Accountability: Partner cross‑functionally with Global Campaigns, Product Marketing, and SDRs to ensure the field has the messaging and enablement needed to accelerate deals at every stage.
• Maintain Operational Rigor: Manage complex regional budgets with precision and maintain high standards of data integrity within Salesforce and Tableau, ensuring all activities are tied to measurable ROI.
• Ignite a Culture of Inclusivity: Foster an environment that recognizes the diverse strengths individuals bring to the team to promote engagement and innovative marketing strategies.
