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.
Comfort with "white space" and a proven ability to take an open-ended request, conduct necessary investigation, and return with a concrete plan of action.
Ability to look beneath the surface of a report and ask "second and third-order" questions.
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.
