• Establish clear rhythms for prioritization, execution tracking, and decision-making.
• Ensure visibility into progress, risks, and dependencies across marketing initiatives.

• Partner with the CMO to develop high-quality executive communications, including leadership presentations, board materials, and internal updates. Translate frameworks and operating plans into effective communications that drive alignment and action.
• Ensure consistent messaging across marketing leadership and cross-functional partners.

• Strong ability to translate structured thinking and frameworks into clear, persuasive communications. Experience partnering closely with senior executives and influencing without authority.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
• High level of discretion, judgment, and comfort operating in ambiguity.

• Experience in B2B marketing, cloud infrastructure, AI, or high-growth technology companies.
