If our mission excites you, you’re in the right place; we want you to bring your own energy to help us create a safer world. All we’re missing is you! We're seeking a dynamic Global Partner MarComms Director to serve as a critical component of our "Excite" pillar in the 3E Partner Playbook (Excite, Enable, Engage). This role will transform our partner strategy into compelling communications that emotionally connect with our partner community and drive meaningful business outcomes. THE CHALLENGE WE'RE SOLVING Without this role, we face a few headwinds: Partners struggle to understand what we're doing, why it matters, and how it helps them achieve their goals (e.g., make money) Partner personas care about different things - execs, reps, pre-sales, ops, etc. - and without one person owning the message, everything becomes noise When noise happens, partners lose attention and momentum stalls Our strategy remains disconnected from the emotional connection our partner community needs
