SHOULD YOU ACCEPT THIS CHALLENGE...

We're looking for a strategic, customer-obsessed marketing leader to build and scale our Executive Customer Advisory Board (CAB) program from the ground up. This role is pivotal in driving deep engagement with C-level customers, aligning on Pure's strategic direction, and elevating customer voices into boardroom-level influence. You'll be responsible for designing the CAB program's vision and structure, identifying and recruiting the right executive members, and flawlessly executing experiences that create strategic value - for our customers and for Pure Storage. If you're passionate about building customer communities at the executive level, thrive in a fast-paced, innovative culture, and know how to earn a seat at the table with senior leaders - this is your role.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and Own the Global CAB Strategy: Build a scalable, best-in-class executive advisory board framework aligned with Pure's business priorities and executive stakeholders.
• Executive Engagement: Partner with Sales, Customer Success, and the C-suite to identify, recruit, and nurture strategic customer relationships across regions and verticals.
• Program Management: Own all aspects of CAB planning and execution, including agenda development, speaker coaching, content creation, logistics, and post-event follow-ups.
• Customer Insights & Influence: Capture and synthesize strategic insights shared by CAB members and ensure clear feedback loops back into Product, Marketing, and Executive Leadership.
• Experience-First Mindset: Deliver white-glove, high-touch experiences for our executive customers - from meeting environments to personalized touchpoints.
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Collaborate with Product Marketing, Field Marketing, Customer Success, and the Office of the CTO to drive participation and impact.
• Measurement & Optimization: Define KPIs and success metrics for CABs, regularly report on program health, and evolve the strategy based on data and feedback.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED TO BRING TO THIS ROLE...

• 7+ years in customer marketing, executive programs, or B2B customer engagement roles - ideally in enterprise technology
• Proven experience designing and scaling executive CABs or high-touch customer programs
• Exceptional executive presence and ability to engage with C-level audiences
• Excellent project management, organizational, and communication skills
• Ability to work cross-functionally and influence without authority
• Strategic thinker with a bias for action and attention to detail
• Experience with customer advocacy platforms, virtual event tools, and CRM systems a plus
