The Role
We are seeking a highly organized and agile Marketing Manager to support Lumen's Infrastructure Services portfolio, a multi-solution offering spanning several foundational connectivity and platform capabilities.

You will own the positioning, messaging, and sales enablement for multiple infrastructure services, translating complex, evolving technologies into clear, customer-centric narratives.

Partner closely with Sales and Enablement teams to ensure materials are practical, current, and aligned to how sellers engage customers.
