[Remote] Marketing Chief of Staff

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Cohere is the leading security-first enterprise AI company, focused on building cutting-edge foundation AI models. They are seeking a Marketing Chief of Staff to drive operational efficiency within the marketing organization, ensuring that priorities are met and that the VP of Brand can focus on leadership rather than firefighting.

Responsibilities

• Run the marketing org's planning cadence: annual and quarterly planning, goal-setting, and the weekly and monthly business reviews. Hold the calendar
• Drive budget and headcount planning against the slate, working from Marketing Ops' tracking and reporting, and keep both honest as priorities shift mid-quarter. You own the trade-off conversations; Marketing Ops owns the numbers underneath them
• Make the reviews worth holding. Drive the prep, the follow-through, and the decisions that should come out of them
• Turn the VP of Brand's priorities into plans the team can execute, then hold the line on those priorities when new fires start
• Keep major programs from colliding or stalling across brand, editorial, design, product marketing, demand gen, and integrated marketing. A lot of this is seeing the crash coming and preventing it
• Be the person teams come to when it isn't clear who owns a decision
• Represent marketing in cross-functional planning with sales, product, and finance, so the org's commitments are realistic and its dependencies are visible. When marketing promises something to another team, you make sure the promise was sane and gets kept
• Build the materials leadership relies on: board updates, all-hands content, exec readouts. Make them clear and honest, not decorative
• Give the VP of Brand back time and attention by carrying the work that doesn't need to land on their desk
• Lead the things that don't fit neatly on any one team's plate: a reorg, a new agency relationship, a flagship event, an org-wide planning week. Own them end to end

Skills

• 10+ years of operating experience, with real time inside a marketing org in a Chief of Staff, business operations, or senior program-operations seat
• A practitioner's understanding of demand generation and account-based marketing in a B2B context
• Comfort with marketing and pipeline metrics and with running a budget
• A track record of bringing order to a fast, complex org without grinding it to a halt
• Clear writing, straight talk, and the presence to hold a room of senior people to a plan
• Chief of Staff or business operations at a high-growth B2B software or AI company
• A marketing ops or RevOps leader who wants an org-level operating seat rather than a systems seat
• Strategy or management consulting followed by an in-house operating role
• A demand-gen or integrated-marketing operator who has moved into an org-level operating seat

Benefits

• Cohere is remote-friendly.
• For those in the office: a daily lunch program, plenty of snacks, and regular community and social events.
• For those not near an office: a co-working benefit so you can work alongside others in your city.
