About The Position

At LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business. The work location of this role is hybrid, meaning it will be performed both from home and from a LinkedIn office on select days, as determined by the business needs of the team. This role can be based in San Francisco, Mountain View, or New York. We’re looking for a full-time Sr. Manager, Brand Strategy to join LinkedIn’s Corporate Brand Marketing team. This person will drive brand strategy across LinkedIn’s core lines of business, partnering closely with Product, Product Marketing, and Integrated Marketing to turn audience insight, market context, and business priorities into clear go-to-market strategies. The work will help LinkedIn compete more effectively, make our value easier for audiences to understand, create intuitive connections across our product portfolio, and strengthen LinkedIn’s leadership in the future of work. You’re a strategic problem-solver who starts with the business opportunity and works backward to the audience insight. You’re curious about what drives people to choose, trust, and advocate for a brand. You can turn complex, ambiguous problems into simple strategies that teams can act on, and you’re as energized by B2B challenges as you are by B2C. You bring experience developing audience insights, leading research, and shaping positioning, naming, messaging, and narratives. You are a strong collaborator and influencer who can align cross-functional leaders and peers around strategies that create audience clarity and measurable business impact.
