What you'd actually do

  3. Strategic Execution: 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.
  4. AI Innovation: 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.
  5. The Pipeline Efficiency Task Force: 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.
