Marketing Manager

Overview

The Marketing Manager’s Mission & Outcomes

Develop, drive, and scale an outstanding marketing function. We are looking for someone who brings Strategyzer…

• Leadership: Build a marketing organization that produces predictable and scalable results. Drive strategic thinking while rolling up your sleeves for this early scaling journey. We’d love to learn about your leadership style.
• Playbooks: Implement a key account-based and volume-based playbook drawing on results from previous work experience. We’d love to learn about how you’ve delivered this before.
• Results: Take advantage of the strong assets we’ve built to carry pipeline, revenue, and customer install base to new heights. We’d love to hear what you see as Strategzer’s strengths and weaknesses.

The successful candidate will immediately contribute in the following ways:

1. Lead and build Strategyzer’s marketing function to scale

You have a mature and professional leadership style that inspires people to follow. You understand how to create the right balance between autonomy and alignment. You have a track record of developing and scaling a marketing function starting hands-on.

You are a self-starter with a strong entrepreneurial mindset. As such, you easily toggle between strategy and tactics. With your strong data/analytics/AI expertise, you have a track record of growing pipeline, revenue, and customer install base. In your role, you drive and execute activities such as data analysis, customer insights, market trends, and forecasting. You will work very closely with sales to ensure alignment with respect to success metrics.

Today Strategyzer’s sales are 99% inbound with an emerging outbound sales function. In addition to managing and optimizing inbound, you will generate new sources of leads to support the outbound team. A key objective of your role is to develop a predictable and scalable lead generation engine. You will help Strategyzer reach our Ideal Customer Profiles (ICPs) more systematically. You have a track record of achieving the results described above with large companies as well as with small- and medium-size companies SMEs.

2. Develop and implement a key-account-based playbook for large companies

Strategyzer has two ICPs. Our first, long-term ICP, is innovation leaders in Fortune Global 500 companies and innovation leaders in companies with 1,000 to 15,000 people. We’ve been working with this segment for over a decade. We support these leaders and their companies with strategic advisory, team innovation coaching, and program licenses on our platform. We help them autonomously scale innovation.

Based on your experience, you will develop and implement an Account-Based Marketing playbook tailored to this ICP. For this objective, you can draw on Strategyzer’s strong portfolio of assets. This includes a track record of working with some of the world’s leading brands. It also includes a large portfolio of content assets, such as global best-selling books in over 40 languages, a large video and course library, and webinars with followers and fans from all continents.

3. Develop and implement a volume-based marketing playbook for SMEs

Strategyzer’s second emerging ICP is innovation leaders in small and medium-size companies (SMEs). These companies typically range from approximately 100 to 750 people. We help them implement a turnkey innovation process with programs on our platform.

Based on your experience you will develop a volume-based approach tailored to this ICP (e.g. google & linkedin ads, etc.). This includes unearthing a predictable and scalable lead generation algorithm and tracking the sales pipeline at every stage.

We are also experimenting with a third playbook that we hope to scale over time. There is a community of innovation consultants who would like to use our programs to bundle them with their services. By helping them sell their services, we help Strategyzer sell programs. It’s a win-win. It’s a plus if you have experience with this type of playbook.
