Field Marketing Manager

Introduction

The Field Marketing Manager will build regional marketing plans that align corporate demand generation programs and the budgets, capabilities, and skills of our top partners to scale the pipeline. This role must have a bias towards action and use data to make decisions.  

Collaboration with field sales leaders is critical. While global campaigns will deliver pipeline, this role is accountable for local execution to make up the difference and exceed pipeline coverage targets for the region.
