This leader oversees the Data Center Solutions Marketing Manager, Networking Solutions Marketing Manager, and Market Insights Analyst functions while aligning SHI's solutions portfolio to market opportunities, customer needs, business objectives, partner ecosystems, and growth priorities.

Working across multiple technology domains, the Senior Director helps determine what SHI brings to market, how solution areas connect to customer outcomes, where future growth opportunities exist, how strategic partner solutions are packaged, and how marketing investments support measurable business impact.

• Identify whitespace opportunities, growth markets, adjacent solution areas, and new categories that can expand SHI's market relevance.
• Partner with business unit leaders to evaluate strategic opportunities, portfolio priorities, and investment trade-offs.
• Ensure cross-pillar solutions are aligned around customer outcomes rather than internal organizational structures.

Product Marketing, Positioning & Messaging

• Establish and maintain messaging frameworks, value propositions, and solution narratives that align offerings across business units into cohesive, customer-focused strategies.
• Develop positioning and messaging architectures that support campaigns, sales motions, executive communications, events, digital experiences, and customer engagement.
• Serve as a strategic advisor on market opportunities, customer needs, competitive trends, and portfolio growth initiatives.
• Guide the development of sales enablement strategies, competitive positioning, battlecards, solution briefs, launch readiness materials, and executive-level narratives.
