Senior Partner Marketing Manager
Want to help change the face of a multi-billion dollar industry? Join the high-impact team that fuels Cisco Meraki’s growth. Cisco Meraki has become the fastest growing acquisition in Cisco’s history and we continue to innovate quickly, build exceptional careers, and have fun doing it. We’re looking for someone to help drive all-new marketing initiatives by building messaging, strategy and innovative campaigns that our partners love.
With speed and agility being important attributes of Meraki, teams are small with individuals capable of outsized impact.

- Drive and accelerate all-new channel marketing initiatives around technology partners, Meraki APIs, and managed services.
- Collaborate across Meraki Marketing and Channel Sales, Cisco, and various partner teams to develop and be responsible for a partner marketing plan with measurable goals.
- Design and pilot new campaigns and programs to deepen partner sales engagement and drive new Meraki business across national VAR partners.
- Design, launch, and measure the success of new lead-generation tools and programs driven by the channel.
- Build relationships with the Cisco Marketing team to align and insert Meraki into larger Cisco programs.
- Measure the impact of your work and use data to make adjustments that improve performance.
