As a Channel Growth Strategist on our Build Team, you will be responsible for uncovering the next $5B+ in channel opportunities across Worldwide Sales Programs. You will operate at the intersection of strategy, business development, digital experience and AI-powered execution, turning whitespace opportunities into end-to-end growth initiatives. You will work the full length of the customer journey, from the digital surfaces a customer touches before they reach a store to the assisted and unassisted selling that happens once they are in it. Thinking like a General Manager and moving like a startup founder, you will leverage AI to amplify your impact, designing comprehensive "feed to store" plans that cross-functional teams rally behind and execute. You will be a one-person powerhouse who moves from opportunity identification to execution in weeks, ensuring the organization never enters a planning cycle empty-handed.
In this role, you will:
-
Identify Growth: Pinpoint where the next $5B+ in channel growth lives across markets, partners, audiences, product categories and digital surfaces, and build the actionable plan to capture it.
-
Design End-to-End Plans: Build comprehensive "feed to store" growth plans covering audience strategy, content approach, partner activation, deployment models and measurement frameworks, and hand them to the Run team aligned and ready, with multiple lines of business committed to execution.
-
Own the Digital Journey: Map the end-to-end customer and seller journey across digital and physical touchpoints, and bring a point of view to how our digital selling surfaces in partner environments earn growth, from the content that runs on them to the assisted and unassisted experiences they enable.
-
Drive Alignment: Lead cross-functional alignment globally. Bring together Product Marketing, Sales, Marcom, Finance, Geo teams and Partner Development to secure buy-in and keep teams moving cohesively.
-
Localize Strategy: Collaborate with geo strategy teams to adapt global growth frameworks for local markets, bridging the gap between global strategy and local execution.
