IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL: - Owning the webinar and digital events strategy, including audience priorities, portfolio architecture, editorial themes, formats, calendar, investment decisions, and success measures. - Designing experiences for specific buyer needs and journey stages, with a clear value exchange, CTA, follow-up path, and connection to broader campaigns. - Partnering with Product Marketing, Content, speakers, customers, and subject-matter experts to create differentiated programs that make complex AI topics useful and concrete. - Working closely with the Webinar Marketing Manager and production partners to translate strategy into clear briefs, run-of-show requirements, launch plans, QA, and delivery standards. - Building integrated pre- and post-event motions across paid, email, web, social, SDR, Sales, and account-based channels to reach the right audiences and sustain momentum. - Establishing qualification, routing, seller context, and follow-up expectations so high-intent engagement receives timely and relevant action. - Defining measurement across audience quality, registration-to-attendance, engagement, CTA behavior, qualified leads, account progression, pipeline, and content reuse. - Using performance data and audience feedback to improve the portfolio, retire low-value formats, and create reusable programming and activation playbooks.
