Senior Director, Brand Activation & Demand Generation

The Senior Director, Brand Activation & Demand Generation is a senior leader responsible for: (i) owning brand strategy, identity, and activation across our client's portfolio of consumer smart-home/security brands — stewarding core brand narratives in every customer-facing moment — and (ii) leading integrated campaign development for tentpole launches and seasonal moments, in partnership with Product Marketing, the business units, and the Communications & Content team.
