Job Summary

Own and articulate Coveo's enterprise narrative across markets, shaping product-market fit for buyers and aligning product, marketing, and sales behind a single story.

  • Lead a global earned-media engine, starting with US/Canada and expanding to Europe and Australia, built with strategic agency partnerships.
  • Turn marquee customers into memorable, repeatable proof points and compelling stories beyond traditional case studies.
  • Direct cross-functional storytelling and executive enablement around launches, Gartner MQs, partnerships, and major announcements.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • The narrative. Shape a differentiated story connecting our product vision, the market shift, and what our customers achieve - and make it land with enterprise buyers.
  • A global function, built in stages. Deploy the US and Canada agency budget now, prove what works, then expand into Europe and Australia.
  • Getting us on the map. Build the earned-media engine from the ground up - top-tier business and tech press, podcasts, and the channels where our buyers pay attention - and lead the agency partnerships that scale it
  • Customer storytelling. Turn our marquee customers into compelling, repeatable proof points - not buried case studies, but stories people remember.
  • Social and brand voice. Own our social presence and give Coveo a voice that's confident, credible, and worth following.
  • Cross-functional narrative leadership. Align marketing, product, and sales behind one story - and arm our executives to tell it well.
  • The big moments. Drive integrated communications around product launches, Gartner MQs, partnerships, and major announcements.

Requirements

  • Are genuinely curious about AI and excited to explain how it's reshaping the enterprise.
  • Are a creative storyteller who can translate complex technology into a narrative people care about.
  • Have built communications programs - you're energized by a blank canvas, not waiting for a playbook to inherit.
  • Work fluidly across product, sales, and marketing rather than operating in a “PR” silo.
  • Can balance strategy with execution - you'll set the vision and get the placements.
  • Bring deep experience in enterprise B2B technology or SaaS communications, and know how to direct agencies and budget toward real outcomes - not just brief them.

Preferred

  • A track record of taking a strong-but-underexposed company and meaningfully raising its profile.
  • Experience launching narratives in emerging or fast-defining categories.
  • Comfort coaching C-level executives and building thought-leadership platforms.
  • Range across earned, social, and paid - with an instinct for where attention is moving next.
  • You move fast - you know trying new things means failing, and you're fine failing quickly because that's how we get better.
