Global Marketing Specialist – Acquisition (128791)

Location: NYC Metro - USA

Our purpose is to use the power of communications to make a better world. For each other, for our customers, for society and our communities. We need you to help us do this.

Why this role matters

BT Global is a strategic business unit under BT Group that serves the largest 800 multinational customers in the world. Banking and Financial Services (BFS) is one of three industry verticals that BT Global provides services to. The strategy of BT Global and the BFS vertical is to grow the business. BT is at a pivotal stage where we are changing the way we operate and adapting to our customers’ needs. Our forthcoming rebrand reflects the internal change that is going on.

Accounts in BT Global are segmented to House, Acquisition, and Incubator accounts. Most of the revenue in BFS comes from 15% of House accounts where growth opportunity is limited. As such, we have restructured to create a new sales organisation with two new sales leadership roles that will be focused on acquisition, where we have little or no business. This new structure will come into place on 1st January 2020.

A brand new role has been created in the marketing team to be the critical lead to achieving the business strategy and will support these two new sales heads to aggressively grow the business across Acquisition and Incubator accounts

• You will grow and refresh the C-Suite persona information in Salesforce for this sector, identifying the makeup of the decision-making unit in customer accounts.
• Different campaigns and messaging will be run for different C-Suite personas e.g. CIO campaigns, CEO campaigns, CMO campaigns etc, using the customer’s language and your understanding of their needs to engage them.
