Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Public Sector Strategy & Planning: Build and execute an integrated marketing plan for FED/SLED that aligns to mission priorities, procurement and funding cycles, and compliance requirements.
  • Field Events & Experiences: Lead public sector-specific events (roundtables, summits, trade shows, partner events) from concept through follow-up—including audience targeting, messaging, logistics, onsite execution, and post-event conversion plans.
  • Digital Demand Generation: Plan, launch, and optimize always-on and integrated digital campaigns for FED/SLED (email nurtures, webinars, paid social/search where applicable, content syndication, and ABM programs) in partnership with global demand gen and operations teams.
  • Campaign Localization & Messaging: Activate corporate campaigns with public sector relevance (e.g., ILT, compliance and readiness themes), tailoring value propositions, proof points, and calls-to-action for government audiences.
  • Sales Enablement & ABM Alignment: Partner with public sector sales to prioritize target accounts, align campaign plays to opportunities, and deliver enablement assets that map to government decision-making structures and buying stages.
  • Measurement, Attribution & Optimization: Track and improve performance across field and digital programs (registrations/attendance, engagement, lead/opportunity conversion, CPL, and pipeline sourced/influenced). Use CRM/marketing automation reporting and testing (e.g., subject lines, landing pages, audience segments) to continuously optimize.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Share FED/SLED insights to inform global campaign planning, coordinate with product marketing and SDR teams on follow-up motions and ensure regional execution reflects Skillsoft’s broader GTM strategy.
