DIRECTOR, FIELD MARKETING, India

Ciena may well be the most important technology company you have never heard of. The innovations that wow us (driverless cars), and those we now take for granted (the ability to mobile stream your favorite show) are the products of ingenuity from some brilliant and forward-thinking companies. But those companies rely on Ciena, another vanguard of innovation, to create and advance the underlying networks that bring their breakthroughs to our doorsteps. VR, AI, IOT, 5G ⦠literally none of it would be possible without the mind-boggling technology that makes the internet itself work. For more than 25 years, Ciena has been the global leader in networking strategy, and our technology has been part of the critical infrastructure running within the most advanced companies in the world. 

Role overview

This role reports to the Senior Director, Field and Partner Marketing for EMEA, Asia Pacific and India, with a strong dotted line report into the Vice President and General Manager for India.  

You will have responsibility across all functions of the role, including strategy, planning, budgeting, execution and measurement of key activities.

Cross functional collaboration is key; helping define the business goals of the region, successful engagement with functional leaders, and translating the ways marketing can help the region achieve their desired results is the task at hand.  But no single leader can accomplish these goals by themselves; they must add value to an established and successful field team, be inciteful, leverage past successes and learn from past failures.  In the end itâs about applying best practices, honed though experience, for accelerated growth.

Can you be a motivator as much as a manager of people?  Can you lead marketing to have a strategic seat at the regional table?  Can you build and execute a plan that makes marketing an invaluable part of the India teamâs success while leveraging the global marketing organisation for scale and support? And can you do all this with integrity, humility, a keen focus on performance and a desire to build the best field and partner marketing team in the industry?  Are you looking for a role that you can really develop into as a marketing professional and leader?  If the answer is YES to these questions, we want to speak to you

Scope of responsibilities:

Provide leadership, guidance and coaching to the India field marketing team to not only deliver on objectives but continually seek new ways to improve how we engage and support our customers and partners.

Provide input and regional insights into the overall global Marketing strategy and maintain a close relationship and best practice sharing with other regional field marketing groups.
