At IBM, we create stories and experiences that matter to our audiences, move them to act, and cut through the noise in the market.

Campaign Integration: Design content that feeds demand gen, ABM, and nurture campaigns targeting buyers at different funnel stages in the cloud marketplace ecosystem. Thought Leadership: Partner with SMEs and executives to produce thought leadership content that builds authority and visibility on marketplace platforms and beyond. Performance Tracking: Use analytics to evaluate content performance across marketplace platforms and continuously refine content strategies based on engagement and conversion data. **Required technical and professional expertise** • Recognized expertise in marketing, brand and/or content strategy roles with progressive levels of seniority and responsibility. • Strong understanding of digital marketplaces (AWS, Azure, GCP) and how buyers interact with software through these channels. • Exceptional storytelling, writing, and editing skills with a portfolio of high-performing content assets. • Ability to distill complex technical topics into clear, compelling content. • Comfortable working cross-functionally with marketing, product, sales, and partner teams. • Data-driven mindset with experience using tools like Google Analytics, HubSpot, or marketplace analytics dashboards. **Preferred technical and professional experience** * 3-5 years of experience in brand marketing, content strategy, or product marketing--preferably within a B2B tech or SaaS environment. * Proven track record of building messaging and content for channel/partner audiences. * Experience working in a global team, ideally with responsibilities across multiple geographies. * Growth mindset with an appetite to experiment and fail fast in the spirit of ongoing learning and improvement. * A portfolio that demonstrates a depth and breadth of brand, messaging and/or content strategy and development. * Personal eminence in Brand & Content strategy.
