  • Think problem-based (solution) marketing and voice of the audience first – whether customer, partner or sales – in all that you do. Your job as part of the Product and Solution Marketing organization is to ensure our company ties our audience success to our ability to hit quotas, achieve numbers and meet internal deadlines.
  • Work in close partnership with digital marketing on recruitment, conversion and consumption initiatives for both provider and end customer audiences while streamlining operational processes and thinking outside-the-box to recommend new content formats and engagement experiences.
  • Own the corporate style guide and company taxonomy while partnering with our design team to ensure brand guidelines are implemented across deliverables.
  • Ensure content is created and proofed in professional, native US English for all markets that require it or to enable the same quality level in translation and localization by your peer organizations into the many other languages and markets Acronis operates in.
  • Pick up the ‘pen’ yourself when circumstances require it or the muse demands it.

WHAT YOU BRING (EXPERIENCE & QUALIFICATIONS)

  • Experience. Relevant experience with a minimum 10 years overall in well-established companies with 5 years in high tech content marketing preferably in cybersecurity or a related space, and a minimum 5 years of front-line, team management experience.
  • Education. Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Communications, Creative Writing, English, Journalism, or similar field preferred.
  • Communication skills. Excellent creative communication skills in US native English. However, we will consider other candidates who are uniquely perfect for the role with exceptional qualifications and understand the need and process for native-level proficiency proofing for the company.
  • Creativity. Ability to turn technical product stories into engaging messaging/narratives/stories. Demonstrated creativity with respect to solutions messaging and storytelling via creative, interesting, engaging content.
  • Leadership by example. Commitment and ability to personally produce high-quality, high-performing content with a shareable portfolio to show it. We need our leader to model success and be able to “set the bar.”
  • Ability to manage in the global, high tech market reality. You can balance competing priorities and deadlines with discipline, taking phased approaches, attention to detail, and experience operating in fast-paced environments.
  • Best practices. Strong understanding of how to build brands with strong voice development, marketing messaging, integrated marketing and SEO best practices. We’ll count on you bringing prior success cookbooks into our team.
  • Domain knowledge. Experience working for a growing, global technology company preferably in cybersecurity or adjacent markets, in B2B/B2B2C SaaS-based solutions, and working with a complex channel environments including service providers.
  • Interpersonal acumen.  Self-motivated, driven and able to work with minimal supervision by bringing passion and a sense of ownership not just of teams and tasks – but of outcomes.
  • Flexibility. We’re a rapidly growing and expanding company.  You’ll need to have some amount of startup DNA to think on your feet, see changes as possible opportunities, and be open to occasional international travel – though expected at less than 10%.
