About The Position

Rubrik is seeking a strategic and analytical Sr. Manager, Strategic Marketing to lead our marketing efforts and support our rapid growth objectives. This role is designed for a world-class problem solver who is energized by ambiguity. You will be tasked with taking complex, open-ended projects from the Chief of Staff, Strategic Marketing—making sense of them, identifying the core challenges, and building the operational action plans to solve them. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in marketing strategy, data analytics, and team leadership, with a specific obsession for building scalable solutions in "white-space" environments. If you are an investigator who thrives when given a problem without a clear roadmap, this role is for you.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Business, Analytics, or related field (MBA preferred).
10+ years of experience in marketing strategy, analytics, and team leadership within a high-growth SaaS environment or strategy consulting.
You are comfortable with "white space." You have a proven ability to take an open-ended request, conduct the necessary investigation, and return with a concrete plan of action.
You naturally look beneath the surface of a report. You ask the "second and third-order" questions that lead to breakthroughs.
Fluency with analytics platforms (e.g., Salesforce, Tableau, Excel) and the ability to drive change through data-backed arguments.
Excellent leadership and communication skills, with the ability to influence senior leadership and lead cross-functional teams without formal authority.

Nice To Haves

A passion for building scalable solutions and a proactive approach to identifying and solving business bottlenecks.
The ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment where the "right answer" isn't always obvious.
A high level of dependability with a strong sense of urgency and results orientation.
A deep curiosity for new technologies, specifically how Generative AI can be operationalized to drive marketing performance.

Responsibilities

Analyze KPIs and business performance to identify key challenges and opportunities for growth. You won't just report on data; you will investigate it to find "the story" and provide actionable insights for strategic decision-making.
Develop innovative, scalable solutions to drive business performance. You will be given open-ended strategic goals and be expected to design the framework and execution plan from scratch.
Develop and implement comprehensive go-to-market strategies aligned with Rubrik’s business objectives. You will own the creation of high-stakes strategic narratives and decks for Marketing Leadership and Global All-Hands.
Driving and partnering on strategic projects across marketing efforts to implement generative AI capabilities. You will be responsible for investigating tool adoption, auditing the quality of AI-generated outputs (such as SDR communications), and ensuring technology effectively serves our brand and efficiency goals.
Run the Pipeline Efficiency function. You will lead a cross-functional group to identify where we can gain more pipeline through innovation or optimization and make the hard calls on which programs to scale, cut, or pivot.
Utilize advanced analytics to inform strategic decisions. Have command of the funnel and key metrics and reports.
Implement data-driven approaches for campaign analysis, customer segmentation, and predictive models.
Ability to effectively manage strategic initiatives across teams and seniority.
Continuously improve project management processes to enhance efficiency, taking messy cross-functional workflows and turning them into streamlined engines.
Build and manage a high-performing team, fostering a culture of accountability, investigative rigor, and excellence.
