Responsibilities

Define and refine Slack's storytelling & messaging strategy, ensuring the most relevant message, value proposition, competitive differentiation, and customer story reaches the right persona/industry at the right time — across AMER, EMEA, and APAC audiences.
Serve as the slide and narrative lead for Slack's highest-stakes moments — Innovation Summits (NYC, London, Tokyo), All Slack Calls, CKO keynotes, and ELT/co-founder-led customer engagements. Coordinate across PMM, Corporate Marketing, Developer Marketing, and Executive Marketing to deliver polished, on-brand final products.
Produce high-quality, tailored presentations for top accounts and C-suite engagements, working closely with ELT, account teams, and solution engineers. Build decks that capture both attention and ACV.
Maintain a library of presentation templates, resource kits, use cases, and playbooks by persona and industry — including a "Kit of Parts" framework — to enable the sales org and wider Slack organization to tell great stories independently.
Proactively design and build tools (e.g., AI-powered Slide Template Finders) that reduce content bottlenecks and empower the COO/CRO org to find and deploy the right materials instantly.
Engage Slack evangelists for ideas and inspiration to continuously feed and improve Slack's messaging approach and materials.
Act as an SME for innovative technology and generate thoughtful, account-specific content throughout the sales process — from initial discovery through executive close.
Collaborate on executive messaging scripts, speaker talk tracks, and welcome video content for global events and customer visits.
Maximize cross-functional relationships with PMM, Corporate Marketing, Executive Marketing, Developer Marketing, Solution Engineering, Field Marketing, and SI/Partner teams to ensure messaging consistency across the full customer lifecycle.
