Principal B2B Marketing Lead, Asia Pacific & Japan, Project Kuiper DESCRIPTION

Amazon's Project Kuiper is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide secure, high-speed, low-latency broadband network connectivity to unserved and underserved communities, businesses and governments around the world.
If you are someone who wants to play a pivotal role in shaping the business-to-business marketing landscape for Project Kuiper across the Asia Pacific region, this is your opportunity.
We're seeking a dynamic Head of Asia Pacific B2B Marketing who can create and execute full-funnel marketing acquisition strategies for multiple countries within the region.

This role requires a flexible, growth mindset and the ability to manage a high degree of ambiguity extremely well.
The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of operating as a player and a coach, setting and achieving key performance indicators as a strategist, and acquiring customers and hitting revenue targets.
They will need to demonstrate a history of progressive scope and the ability to solve problems autonomously and navigate a very large, global and matrixed environment while balancing hands on execution with future leadership.

At Project Kuiper, the B2B Marketing team is defining our end-to-end go-to-market (GTM) strategy.
We own B2B customer insights, deliver compelling content, and acquire and retain customers across multiple industries and regions.
The Head of Asian Pacific B2B Marketing will be responsible for crafting and implementing marketing strategies that resonate with diverse markets and cultures within the Asia Pacific region.
They will need to be as comfortable with full lifecycle account-based marketing as with programmatic digital, delivering regional thought leadership, and white-glove executive focused events.
This is a unique opportunity to shape the regional B2B marketing strategy from the ground up, for a highly advanced connectivity service in one of the world's most dynamic and diverse regions.

Key job responsibilities

Work cross-functionally with PMM, Brand, Creative, Research and Operations teams to apply the latest digital, event and content acquisition tactics.
Adapt global marketing initiatives to suit local markets, cultural nuances and gain efficiencies with existing programs.
Optimize Marketing Acquired Leads (MAL), Marketing Qualified Leads (MQL) and Sales Qualified Lead (SQL) conversion down the customer funnel across segments from SMB to Large Enterprise.
Communicate regularly with executive leadership on program effectiveness, campaign results, and marketing strategies.
While beginning as an individual contributor, this leader may have an opportunity to build and lead a team over time.
Direct experience managing teams of 6+ full time employees for 5+ years is a pre-requisite.

A day in the life
This is a highly visible, high impact role leading the B2B Marketing efforts for Project Kuiper in the Asia Pacific region.

They will work closely with business operations, business development, AWS, and Kuiper marketing teams to set and achieve goals through account-based marketing, campaigns and events.
