You might be a good fit if you’re excellent at building relationships, are intellectually curious, are able to parse through business and technical complexity, and have an instinct for a good story.

Build relationships with the AE, the customer's engineering leaders, and the champions inside the account. - Find mutually beneficial plays for the customer and Cognition, by deeply understanding their priorities, blockers, and proposing solutions. - Identify the use cases worth telling externally and turn them into customer stories, press placements, executive bylines, keynote talks, and joint campaigns. - Produce customer stories across formats: written deep dives, video, photography, conference talks. - Run customer PR — joint announcements, press placements, executive interviews. - Build an enthusiastic bench of customer references and the programs to activate customers: boards, summits, etc. - Partner with Revenue Marketing to amplify customer proof points across events, email, and paid channels. - Manage production agencies and freelancers for shoots and campaign creation. - Enable AEs on how to use customer stories to close deals and drive expansion. - Travel to customer sites for shoots and executive meetings, in the US and internationally.
