• Partner with Sales and BDR teams to drive activation and follow‑through around priority programs and accounts.
• Act as the connective layer between Sales and Marketing, ensuring alignment, clarity, and follow‑through.
• Track program performance, pipeline impact, opportunity progression, and engagement signals, using insights to optimize and inform future strategy.
• Apply strong judgment in evaluating and prioritizing program requests and investments, balancing impact, effort, and resources to focus on the highest-value opportunities.
• Drive end‑to‑end execution of programs, managing timelines, dependencies, budgets, and stakeholders with a high level of accuracy and accountability.
• Represent Enterprise Field Marketing in planning cycles, business reviews, and cross‑functional forums, bringing performance insights, risks, and clear recommendations.
• Provide structured guidance, coaching, and feedback to the supporting Field Marketer, strengthening their strategic thinking, commercial judgment, and execution.
• Maintain visibility into pod performance and capacity, escalating risks, resource needs, and decisions that require leadership support.

What Success Looks Like

• Strong alignment and trust with Sales leadership and sellers.
• Programs are executed on time, on budget, and with high attention to detail.
• Clear visibility into performance, with the ability to adjust strategy based on results.
