Principal Partner Marketing Manager

Hi, I’m Claire Marshall, Senior Director of Worldwide Field Marketing at Puppet,

I’m looking for a Principal Partner Marketing Manager to work closely with our Channel Sales Team to create and execute the  partner marketing strategy. You will be the voice of Puppet to channel partners and will be excited to build, execute and scale partner driven lead generation programs that drive demand, accelerate pipeline and improve partner productivity.

You will be part of the Global Field Marketing Team, at an exciting phase of Puppet’s growth, as we accelerate delivery of modern infrastructure automation solutions to the largest organizations in the World. 

Meaningful work you’ll contribute 

• Drive joint planning and go-to-market initiatives with the channel sales team and Puppet’s distributors and channel partners 
• Assemble marketing and sales enablement kits for partners to educate them on solution offerings and campaigns available
• Create channel specific marketing messages and produce co-branded assets and and co-hosted/sponsored events
• Develop strong relationships, becoming the go-to market contact at Puppet, helping to inspire, lead and support our partners
• Manage, maintain and improve Puppet’s Partner Portal, to deliver a great self-service experience for partners 
• Track success metrics, identifying the reporting trends that help drive improvements and core program decisions
• Manage and reconcile budgets

You are… 

• Entrepreneurial. You proactively identify challenges and opportunities and approach work in an agile and creative way.

• Accountable, delivering against your commitments to your team, and to Puppet’s partners, customers and communities. You deliver what you promise.

• A collaborative team player with excellent interpersonal skills who partners across the organisation. You collaborate often and remain open, listening to understand first. 
• Scrappy and self-directed. You are skilled at autonomously driving projects in a startup environment with minimal guidance and limited resources whilst having a ton of freedom and creativity to continue moving forward. You thrive in a fast-paced environment and are happy rolling up your sleeves to drive execution and results.

Valuable experiences and skills you’ll bring to Puppet 

• 7+ years experience in a channel marketing role, successfully growing partner relationships with marketing savviness to judge alignment, impact and appropriateness of campaigns and programmes.
• Proven experience developing (and delivering) joint marketing plans that align to corporate and partner strategy
• Demonstrated experience of marketing for a B2B technology company across The Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific regions
• Self-starter who demonstrates a high sense of ownership, demonstrating initiative and proficiency at problem solving.
• Calm under pressure and in the face of ambiguity. You take ownership of problems, take on challenges and drive through to resolution.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills   

Bonus, but not required (shout about it in your application if you have experience):

• We’re interested in having a diverse team with a broad set of skills and viewpoints. If this seems like your dream job, but you’re not sure if you qualify, apply anyway!
