From the employer

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today, SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary and expanding consciousness to the stars.

SpaceXSI is building Super Intelligence to help humanity understand the universe. Our teams are building the full Super Intelligence stack: from our Colossus supercomputers, to Grok models, to our suite of applications, including Grok Bot, Grok Build, Grok Imagine, Grok Voice, and X. We're creating a powerful flywheel where more compute trains better models, better models power more useful products, and what we learn from people using those products shapes what we build next.

About the Role

As the Head of Americas Field Marketing, you are the chief marketing architect of our go-to-market engine across the Enterprise and Vertical teams. You will lead a high-performing team of Field Marketing Managers to design, execute, and optimize regional marketing strategies that drive pipeline and revenue.

We are looking for a player-coach who is as comfortable interpreting a dashboard as they are commanding a room during a QBR. If you think business-first, are outcome-obsessed and thrive in high-growth, fast-paced environments, we want to talk.

What You’ll Do

Strategic Leadership & Revenue Growth

  • Architect the Theater Strategy: Develop comprehensive marketing plans across regions, segments, and industries to both land and expand in the largest enterprise accounts

  • Deliver theatre growth plans: Build differentiated strategies, scalable programs, and world class events across buying personas and industries, delivering at-scale and account-based tactics. You also won’t be afraid to jump in and execute alongside your team

  • Galvanize Sales Partnerships: Act as a trusted strategic advisor to Sales and Inside Sales Leadership through compelling executive presentations, insights-driven recommendations, and business reviews

  • Outcome Optimization: Track lead flow from initial touchpoint to closed-won revenue. Partner with Sales Ops to refine conversion metrics and maximize ROI

Team Orchestration & Development

  • Lead a Remote Fleet: Manage and mentor a geographically dispersed team. You’ll be responsible for hiring, onboarding, and fostering a culture of high performance and continuous learning

  • Drive cultural excellence: Foster a culture of innovation, accountability, data-driven decision-making, and collaborative execution across geographically distributed teams

  • Develop future leaders: Own talent strategy including succession planning, career pathing, and leadership development to build bench strength for sustained growth

  • Cross-Functional Advocacy: Serve as the "voice of the theater" back to Corporate Marketing to ensure regional needs are met and global initiatives are successfully localized

Analytics, Insights & Business Acumen

  • Establish executive-level reporting: Build comprehensive dashboards and KPI frameworks that track pipeline, program ROI, and business impact

  • Drive data-informed strategy: Leverage analytics to identify growth opportunities, optimize resource allocation, measure program effectiveness, and demonstrate marketing's contribution to revenue

  • Continuously optimize: Develop feedback loops and refinement processes that improve investment efficiency and program performance

  • Budget Ownership: Manage the Americas roll-up budget, ensuring every dollar is allocated toward high-impact activities

You may be a fit if

  • Proven people leader: You have 10+ years of progressive leadership experience with a track record of building, scaling, and inspiring high-performing marketing teams

  • Coaching excellence: You have demonstrated ability to develop talent, drive career growth, and create environments where top performers thrive

  • Change management prowess: You have the ability to lead organizational transformation, drive adoption of new processes, and navigate ambiguity in fast-paced, high-growth environments

  • The Data Storyteller: You don't just report numbers; you provide insights. You are fluent in the metrics that drive the business

  • The Communicator: You have exceptional presentation skills. You can build trust with C-suite executives and external partners alike

Technical & Tactical Toolkit

  • Mobility: Ability to travel as needed to support theater events and team meetings.
