Assembly Media is looking for a hungry, highly motivated and collaborative Vice President with a passion for B2B storytelling to join our fast-growing team. In this role you’ll be managing a smart and dynamic team to develop and execute industry-leading campaigns, driving excellence and rigor across everything we do. You’ll be working with senior stakeholders at one of the world’s biggest, most innovative and valuable companies, so you’ll need to be confident providing strategic counsel and driving direction. This direction will be underpinned by a deep understanding of the B2B tech landscape – from top vendors and market trends to key buyer personas and the enterprise customer journey. You’ll have experience developing plans that take complex enterprise technologies and translate them into meaningful stories for professionals and business leaders. These campaigns will be underpinned with an entrepreneurial attitude, insight-led approach, creative thinking, and the ability to persuade senior stakeholders of a good idea. Plus, you’ll be confident building and managing the budgets required to execute the campaigns too. You’ll have bags of experience in B2B media strategy and know who’s who across the board, but you’re also someone who isn’t afraid to reach your audience in new or experimental ways. Perhaps you’ve previously led content or account-based marketing campaigns, successfully ran online/offline influencer programs or produced digital content such as a podcast series. We want to know you’ve got a growth mindset, that you’re willing to learn and test new things on the job, and that you’re going to constantly innovate the work we do for our clients. Most importantly of all, you’ll be a fair, collaborative and hardworking leader who isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and be a team player. You won’t just hand off a plan to the team to execute and you’ll be more than happy to pick up the phone to a journalist or update a last-minute media bio. You’ll also be committed to coaching and developing your team (some of the industry’s best talent), ensuring deadlines are met across multiple campaigns and stakeholders, and proactively making connections across Assembly to further the work we do for clients.
