• Manage program dependencies, identify risks early, and drive timely resolution across stakeholders.

Executive Communications & Strategic Storytelling

• Ghostwrite executive blogs, keynote content, presentations, messaging documents, and other executive communications.
• Translate complex cloud technologies, AI capabilities, and market developments into clear, compelling narratives for executive, customer, business, and technical audiences.
• Support leadership in developing strategic messaging that reinforces product differentiation and customer trust.

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Communications, Marketing, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field or equivalent relevant experience.
• 8+ years of experience in Technical Program Management, Product Marketing, Technical Marketing, Product Management, or a related strategic role.
• Strong technical understanding of cloud computing, enterprise infrastructure, AI, and emerging technologies.

• Demonstrated ownership, sound judgment, and the ability to thrive in ambiguous, fast-paced environments.
• Demonstrated experience leading complex, cross-functional programs involving multiple stakeholders and competing priorities.
