Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Morning Consult is hiring a Director, Marketing Strategy to own its marketing organization’s highest-priority cross-functional initiatives from problem definition through implementation, adoption, and outcomes. The role translates strategic priorities into operating plans, leads transformation and go-to-market efforts, and builds alignment across Marketing and other teams.
Responsibilities
- Own the marketing organization's highest-priority cross-functional initiatives — scoped with the Chief Growth Officer, then run by you — the projects too multidisciplinary or consequential to sit inside a single function
- Own communication and reporting of overall growth function performance to executive, cross-functional, and team function leaders
- Own large-scale transformation projects end-to-end, from problem definition through implementation and adoption
- Structure undefined, messy problems into clear plans, workstreams, timelines, and owners — and drive them to completion
- Translate Marketing leadership's strategic priorities into concrete operating plans, targets, and scorecards, and own tracking progress against them over time
- Build and run the operating rhythm for the marketing organization — planning cycles, leadership reviews, and the decision forums that go with them — so the team operates against real targets and a real calendar
- Lead Marketing's role in company-level strategic efforts — the go-to-market for new AI and agentic product capabilities, our analytics investment, and Marketing's contribution to our largest enterprise and AI-partner pitches. You'll carry these with the authority to decide, not just to report back
- Partner with functional leads to evaluate and strengthen the team's capabilities and areas for improvement
- Build the materials and narratives for executive- and leadership-level conversations, translating complex initiatives into clear, decision-ready updates
- Serve as a trusted thought partner to marketing leadership on prioritization, resourcing, and organizational design decisions
- Build trust and alignment across stakeholders in Sales, Product, RevOps, and Finance, ensuring Marketing's priorities are understood and properly resourced beyond the marketing org itself
- Move fluidly between strategy and hands-on execution — this role is built to flex toward wherever the business need is greatest
Skills
- 8+ years of experience spanning product marketing, growth, or business/marketing operations and strategy, ideally including time at a high-growth SaaS, data, or technology company
- A track record of owning large-scale, cross-functional transformation projects from ambiguity through execution
- Comfortable operating without a fixed functional lane — genuinely energized by moving between strategy, analytics, and hands-on execution as priorities shift
- A systems thinker who can diagnose broken or informal processes and redesign them to scale
- Strong judgment operating with significant autonomy; exercises wide latitude in determining the right approach to critical, undefined assignments
- Experience operating as a close, trusted partner to a senior leader on strategic initiatives
- Experience building or running planning cycles, operating cadences, or scorecards for a leadership team, and comfort acting as a proxy for senior leadership in certain settings
- Strong analytical fluency and comfort getting into the data to inform recommendations
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to flex between detailed execution and clear, executive-level narrative
- Genuine curiosity about applying AI to marketing and operations, with an interest in evaluating and rolling out new tools and agentic capabilities
- Depth in B2B product marketing, data or licensing go-to-market, or enterprise growth is a strong plus — several of the first projects sit squarely in that territory
Benefits
- This role is available in any of our office locations or can be based remotely.
- Catered lunch on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays when joining in the office.
- Beverages from the fridge for an impromptu after-work happy hour.
- This role is eligible for an equity grant, which will be discussed in your initial recruiter conversation.
