If our mission excites you, you're in the right place; we want you to bring your own energy to help us create a safer world. All we're missing is you!

We're seeking a dynamic Global Partner MarComms Director to serve as a critical component of our "Excite" pillar in the 3E Partner Playbook (Excite, Enable, Engage). This role will transform our partner strategy into compelling communications that emotionally connect with our partner community and drive meaningful business outcomes.

Without this role, we face a few headwinds:

• Partners struggle to understand what we're doing, why it matters, and how it helps them achieve their goals (e.g., make money)

• Partner personas care about different things - execs, reps, pre-sales, ops, etc. - and without one person owning the message, everything becomes noise

• When noise happens, partners lose attention and momentum stalls

• Our strategy remains disconnected from the emotional connection our partner community needs

• Own the global partner-facing narrative for our 2026 global marketing big bets

• Amplification of partner wins and momentum to internal Forcepoint audiences

• Translate strategy into simple, motivating messages

• Ensure consistency across theaters

• Craft the message so partners get a single, coherent story

• Personalize communications for Partner Execs, Reps, Pre-Sales, Ops, etc.

• Define hooks that motivate each role to pay attention

• Adapt communications to partner maturity, region, and business model

• Strengthen motivation by aligning to economic outcomes

• Run the global partner newsletter, monthly global webcast series, social media presence, partner portal messaging, etc.

• Build and maintain the "why invest in a Forcepoint practice" gold deck

• Manage the relationship with partner media outlets such as CRN and drive coverage and article mentions

• Produce "What's New" updates, videos, narratives, monthly summaries

• Maintain the partner facing 180-day editorial calendar

• Coordinate with Forcepoint corporate marketing, product marketing, enablement, heater marketing and channel sales

• Ensure predictable, professional presence

• Broadcast major launches, roadshows, incentives, new plays, campaigns, etc.

• Drive energy for product, program, and campaign rollouts

• Make sure partners feel momentum across all touchpoints

• Arm channel partner-facing teams with ready-to-use content

• Make launches "feel big" and visible in the ecosystem

• Centralize partner narrative communications across functions

• Standardize templates, tone, and workflows

• Prevent overlapping messages and email collisions

• Enforce quality, accuracy, and brand voice

Required:

• 10+ years of experience in B2B technology marketing communications, with at least 4 years focused on channel/partner marketing

• Proven track record developing and executing global communications strategies for partner ecosystems

• Exceptional storytelling ability with the skill to translate complex technical concepts into compelling narratives

• Experience creating persona-based messaging that drives partner engagement and business outcomes

• Strong project management skills with ability to manage multiple high-visibility programs simultaneously

• Experience working with partner media outlets (CRN, ChannelE2E, etc.) and driving coverage

• Demonstrated ability to work effectively across global teams and time zones

Preferred:

• Experience in cybersecurity or data security markets

• Background in both direct and channel sales environments

• Experience launching new partner programs or significant partner initiatives

• Familiarity with marketing automation platforms, partner portals, and CRM systems

• Understanding of partner business models (solution providers, referral partners, MSPs, distributors, systems integrators, etc.)

• Strategic Communication: Ability to translate business strategy into emotionally resonant messaging

• Audience Intelligence: Deep understanding of diverse partner personas and what motivates them

• Executive Presence: Comfort presenting to and influencing senior leadership and external partners
