Role Overview

The North America Marketing Leader serves as the strategic marketing lead for the region, responsible for aligning marketing initiatives with revenue growth, customer expansion, and market opportunities across Public Libraries, PreK–12, and Higher Education. This role acts as the primary bridge between the North American institutional organization and the Global Marketing Center of Excellence.

Rather than managing a dedicated regional marketing team, the North America Marketing Leader partners with global specialists across product marketing, digital marketing, content, creative, events, and marketing operations to execute regional priorities.

The successful candidate will be a member of the North American leadership team and will work closely with Sales, Customer Success, Product, and State Partnership teams to drive new business, renewals, cross-sell opportunities, customer satisfaction, and product adoption.

Requirements
