Overview
The Commercial Cloud & AI (CC&AI) Solutions Marketing team turns Microsoft's cloud and AI innovation into go-to-market strategies that drive customer demand, seller success, and business growth. A key part of our work is the Market Development Funds (MDF) program, a strategic joint co-investment with Microsoft's largest silicon partners to drive demand for Microsoft Cloud and AI solutions running on their silicon. MDF supports jointly approved marketing, sales, and engineering activities, from flagship events and digital campaigns to partner skilling and joint sales offers, that deliver measurable outcomes for the business.
We are looking for a Senior Integrated Marketing Manager to be the marketing lead with our silicon partners. In this role, you will work directly with the silicon partner's marketing organization to develop and execute an end-to-end marketing strategy: shaping joint messaging and positioning, building channel plans that drive end-to-end funnel performance, and bringing those plans to life across Microsoft's product and integrated marketing, events, partner marketing, and sales teams. You will set goals, track performance, and use data to show the business impact of every co-marketing investment. The ideal candidate is an accomplished integrated marketer and relationship builder who is comfortable leading through influence in a large, matrixed organization, and who is energized by how AI infrastructure and silicon innovation are shaping the future of the cloud.
Microsoft's mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond
