Now, we’re evolving into an automated frontline ops excellence solution that connects people, tasks, communication, and outcomes to deliver consistent, brand-building experiences.

More than 4 million employees across 160+ countries rely on Axonify today. It’s an exciting time to join as we transform the company and build what’s next.

We’re a team that thinks deeply, moves with intention, and embraces new ideas. We learn quickly, keep a sharp focus on real-world impact, and take meaningful action to drive progress. And we do it as one team, with openness, creativity, and a shared drive to keep pushing what’s possible.

The Role

We’re looking for a Director, Strategic Marketing & Brand to lead the execution and operationalization of our brand, content, creative, and communications efforts.

This role is responsible for translating Axonify’s product marketing strategy and company direction into high-impact brand assets, launch programs, and communications that support revenue growth and market credibility. The Director of Brand ensures that what Axonify says, and how it shows up, is clear, consistent, and effective, without redefining the strategy itself.

This is a hands-on leadership role for an operator who excels at prioritization, sequencing, and delivery. You will lead the brand engine that turns strategy into action, partnering closely with Product Marketing, Performance Marketing, Enablement, and Sales.

Communications & PR

Manage external communications execution, including product and company announcements, press releases and launch communications, and analyst briefing preparation and follow-up
Coordinate with external agencies as needed to support launches and moments of amplification
Support executive communications by developing clear, aligned messaging and FAQs

Cross-Functional Partnership

Partner closely with:

Product Marketing (strategy, positioning, launch direction)
Performance Marketing (campaign execution and scale)
Enablement (sales readiness and asset adoption)
Sales and Customer teams (proof, references, and field storytelling)

Provide brand and creative support for product-assisted demand experiences and digital exploration journeys. Ensure brand execution supports revenue priorities without creating competing narratives.

Leadership & Operations

Manage, mentor, and develop team members, fostering a culture of clarity, accountability, and high performance
Establish and track KPIs related to brand execution, content effectiveness, and launch readiness
Regularly report progress, risks, and outcomes to Marketing leadership
Drive adoption of tools and AI-enabled workflows that improve content and creative efficiency

What You’ll Bring

8–12 years of experience in B2B SaaS marketing, with depth in brand execution, content operations, or communications
Proven ability to lead and scale content, design, and communications teams in a growth environment
Strong operational instincts — able to prioritize, sequence work, and deliver under pressure
Experience supporting product launches and revenue-driven marketing initiatives
Excellent collaboration and stakeholder management skills, including experience partnering with Product Marketing and Sales
Strong editorial judgment and creative sensibility, with a bias toward clarity and impact over volume

It’s ok if your experience doesn’t check every box! If you check off more than a few — great! We’d welcome a chance to get to know what you can bring, how you can add to our culture, and hear your unique story.

AI at Axonify

We believe AI should help people do their best work, not replace the human judgment, creativity, and connection that make us who we are. AI is a tool we use to learn fast, elevate our craft, and focus on the work that truly creates impact.

That shows up in our hiring process too. We use AI-assisted tools to create a smoother, more organized, and ultimately more human candidate experience. These tools allow our team to spend more time on real conversations and thoughtful decision-making — the things that matter.

What AI doesn’t do at Axonify is make hiring decisions. Every decision is made by real people, using real judgment and grounded in our values.

Here’s what that means for you as a candidate:

Feel free to use AI to support your thinking — not replace it
Be open about how you use AI if asked. Transparency helps us understand your process and how you approach problem-solving
Stay authentic. We’re hiring people, not prompts. Your ideas, your experiences, and your voice are what matter

Diversity & Accessibility

We believe our team’s unique experiences, backgrounds, cultures, beliefs, and abilities add richness to our culture and depth to our ideas. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion creates an environment that supports, empowers, and delivers a sense of belonging for all team members.
