• Serve as the day‑to‑day marketing partner for vertical Sales leaders and cross‑functional teams.
• Connect demand generation, content, field and event marketing, and industry expertise into one integrated buyer journey.
• Manage the vertical marketing budget and optimize audience, channel, and program mix for pipeline efficiency and bookings contribution.
• Review performance with Sales, identify gaps in quality or conversion, and adjust programs and follow‑up actions.
• Create repeatable operating rhythms, briefs, dashboards, and playbooks that improve speed and performance.
• Guide and develop team members while staying directly involved in campaign reviews, prioritization, messaging adaptation, and content quality.
• Bring sector, buyer, seller, and competitor signals back to Product Marketing and other partners.
• Apply AI‑enabled tools and automation to improve research, personalization, execution, and reporting.

• 2+ years leading team members, programs, or complex cross‑functional work.
• Experience managing a marketing budget and optimizing programs against business outcomes.
• Strong record of partnership with Sales on shared pipeline and bookings goals.
• Ability to adapt approved product messaging for a vertical without changing product claims or positioning.
