What You’ll Be Doing

Reporting to the Associate Director of Strategy and Marketing Activation, the Senior Manager is the strategic powerhouse and end-to-end driver behind Verizon Business Group’s (VBG) market presence. This is a high-visibility, high-impact role designed for an autonomous, senior-level marketing strategist who can operate upstream to define campaign vision, and downstream to steer complex, multi-channel activations to market.

In this role, you will be expected to take ownership of initiatives with minimal day-to-day oversight, bringing entrepreneurial drive and strategic rigor to everything you touch. You will sit at the intersection of business strategy and commercial activation—translating enterprise product roadmaps, commercial priorities, and customer insights into sharp, differentiated go-to-market (GTM) strategies, then mobilizing extensive cross-functional teams to bring those strategies to life across concurrent, fast-moving programs.

• Architect Upstream Campaign Strategies: Own the end-to-end marketing strategy for major portfolio priorities. Synthesize commercial revenue targets, market dynamics, and customer insights into clear, hypothesis-driven campaign frameworks that define the who, what, and why before activation begins.
• Author Decisive Activation Briefs: Translate complex business initiatives and technical B2B product suites into sharp, single-minded strategic briefs that inspire and align Creative, Media, Content, and Agency partners.
• Steer End-to-End Campaign Delivery: Maintain rigorous accountability from strategic conception through in-market execution. Own the campaign lifecycle across multi-channel rollouts (digital, social, direct, partner channels), safeguarding narrative consistency, strategic intent, and brand positioning at every customer touchpoint.
• Orchestrate Complex Cross-Functional Engines: Serve as the central strategic hub across a wide matrix of partners, aligning Business Unit (BU) leads, Product Marketing, Creative Agencies, Legal, Communications, and Channel execution teams across multiple workstreams.
• Drive Autonomous Prioritization in a High-Velocity Matrix: Proactively triage, prioritize, and unblock competing demands across high-profile initiatives. You don’t wait for direction—you spot friction points early, establish operational cadence, and build alignment across conflicting stakeholder agendas.
• Track Diagnostics & Feed Upstream Strategy: Partner with Analytics to define full-funnel measurement models, interpret in-flight campaign performance, and translate data into agile creative/media optimizations, executive performance summaries, and future GTM strategy pivots.

What We’re Looking For

You are a relentless self-starter, an intellectual strategist, and a natural orchestrator. You don't just execute tactical playbooks—you bring a point of view, challenge assumptions, and cut through corporate complexity to drive momentum. Comfortable presenting to senior executive leadership, you thrive in high-stakes environments where priorities shift quickly and multiple high-visibility projects run in parallel. You possess the strategic muscle of a top-tier agency planner combined with the operational drive of an enterprise brand builder.

You’ll need to have:

• Bachelor’s degree or four or more years of work experience.
• Six or more years of relevant experience required, demonstrated through one or a combination of job-related work experience, military experience, or specialized training or education.
• Experience in marketing strategy, brand planning, or integrated campaign management.
• Background in Brand Strategy or Strategic Planning inside an integrated creative, media, or communications agency.
• Direct experience developing upstream, insight-led GTM campaign strategies and authoring activation briefs for large-scale, multi-channel initiatives.
• Proven track record of taking independent ownership of end-to-end campaign lifecycles with minimal oversight while managing diverse, matrixed cross-functional teams.

Even better if you have one or more of the following:

• Master’s degree or MBA.
• Deep domain experience in B2B enterprise buying behavior, technology ecosystems (Telecommunications, Cloud, SaaS, Cybersecurity), or long-cycle buyer journeys across Enterprise, Public Sector, or Mid-Market accounts.
• Advanced stakeholder management skills, with proven ability to present, defend strategic decisions, and deliver high-stakes readouts to Vice President and C-suite leadership.
• High analytical literacy with experience interpreting full-funnel marketing metrics to optimize multi-million-dollar campaign investments.
• Experience designing structured experimentation frameworks (e.g., creative messaging tests, audience cohort testing) to validate strategic hypotheses before scaling.
• Exceptional strategic self-direction—demonstrated ability to proactively prioritize competing deadlines, drive multi-project velocity, and solve problems before they escalate.

In this hybrid role, you'll have a defined work location that includes working from home and a minimum of three days per week in the office, which will be set by your manager. Employees are responsible for maintaining compliance with hybrid work policies.
