About the role

<div class="content-intro"><h3>Redefine the future of customer experiences. One conversation at a time.</h3> <p>At Nextiva, we’re reimagining how businesses connect, bringing together customer experience and team collaboration on a single, conversation centric platform. Powered by AI, driven by human innovation.</p> <p>Our culture is forward thinking, customer obsessed and built on the belief that meaningful connections drive better business outcomes. Whether it’s through our signature Amazing Service®, the technology we create, or the experiences we cultivate, connection is at the core of who we are.</p> <p>If you’re ready to collaborate with incredible people, make an impact, and help businesses everywhere deliver truly amazing experiences, this is where you belong.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <hr> <p>&nbsp;</p></div><p><span data-contrast="auto"><strong>Location:&nbsp;</strong>This is an onsite role based at Nextiva’s Scottsdale headquarters (9451 E.&nbsp;Via de Ventura, Scottsdale, AZ 85256). Working together onsite strengthens how we&nbsp;operate, enabling faster decisions, clearer communication, and stronger execution, so you can make a greater impact and move work forward with speed and clarity.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">In-Office Expectation:&nbsp;</span></strong><span data-contrast="auto">This role is expected to work onsite five days per week, supporting a highly collaborative, in-person team environment.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;335559685&quot;:720}">&nbsp;</span></p> <hr> <p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">The Role</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></strong></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">Marketing at Nextiva is moving&nbsp;fast&nbsp;and the stakes are bigger than&nbsp;they've&nbsp;ever been.&nbsp;We're&nbsp;scaling the business, launching new products, defining categories, and rebuilding the marketing organization to&nbsp;operate&nbsp;AI-native. The CMO needs an operating partner who can run the system while he runs the strategy.&nbsp;That's&nbsp;you.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">This is a senior leadership role and a 100x role. You are a close strategic partner to the CMO,&nbsp;operating&nbsp;at his level and on his behalf. You think like the CMO, act like the CMO, and represent him in rooms he&nbsp;can't&nbsp;be in. You set the operating rhythm for marketing, connect strategy to execution, and serve as the consolidation point for the marketing leadership team.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">You do all of this as an orchestrator of AI systems. Memos, dashboards, decks, comms, research, analysis. The output that used to take a team now takes you, an agent stack, and a few hours of judgment. The CMO is more effective because&nbsp;you're&nbsp;in the seat. The business moves faster because&nbsp;you're&nbsp;in the seat. Nothing&nbsp;gets&nbsp;dropped. Every initiative has an owner. Every meeting moves the company forward.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">What You'll Own</span> <span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></strong></p> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Marketing strategy and OKRs in partnership with the CMO, aligned to corporate priorities. You own the planning rhythm: weekly leadership, monthly business reviews, and the quarterly business review process for marketing</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">The executive performance system: CMO dashboards, ROI by program, KPIs by function, and the metrics the executive team&nbsp;actually uses&nbsp;to make decisions</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">The AI operating system&nbsp;inside&nbsp;the office of the CMO. Agents, skills, and workflows that produce strategic deliverables (memos, board materials, comms, dashboards, decks, analysis) at a fraction of the time and cost they used to require</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Martech strategy and&nbsp;utilization&nbsp;in partnership with our Architecture team. You will know our stack, how&nbsp;it's&nbsp;used, and where we extract more leverage from it</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Budget ownership for the marketing org in partnership with Finance: quarterly forecasts, variance analysis, and the case for every meaningful dollar</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Cross-functional alignment with Sales, Product, Finance, CX, and IT, including the joint initiatives that drive revenue and new growth motions</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Talent strategy in partnership with HR: hiring loops, onboarding, performance calibration, and development plans for the senior marketing team</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">High-leverage special projects, whatever the highest-impact thing is this quarter</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></li> </ul> <p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">What We're Looking For</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></strong></p> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="auto">5 to 10 years in roles where you made senior leaders dramatically better. Strategy consulting, banking, ex-founder, or seasoned operator backgrounds all welcome</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">AI-native at the&nbsp;operating-system&nbsp;level. You build agents, you write skills, you live in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the rest of the stack daily, and you have strong opinions about which tools to use when</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">100x ambition. You&nbsp;don't&nbsp;measure your value by hours worked or pages written. You measure it by what gets done because you exist</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Strong taste. You can review AI output and&nbsp;immediately&nbsp;spot&nbsp;what's&nbsp;missing,&nbsp;what's&nbsp;wrong, and what to push further. Judgment is your edge</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Data-fluent&nbsp;and&nbsp;dashboard-fluent. You can pull, transform, and visualize data with or without help</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Comfortable with ambiguity. You&nbsp;don't&nbsp;need a runbook to operate</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Will tell the CMO when&nbsp;he's&nbsp;wrong, and bring a better answer</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></li> </ul> <p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">The Bar</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></strong></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">You want to be the best Chief of Staff in&nbsp;tech. Not at one company. In the role.&nbsp;You're&nbsp;obsessed with leverage, excellence, and the quality of every deliverable that leaves your hands. You are not trying to do more work. You are trying to do work that&nbsp;wasn't&nbsp;possible before. You see this seat as a launchpad to a GM, VP, or operating role inside Nextiva or beyond. You play to win. You make every room&nbsp;you're&nbsp;in better just by being in it.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></p> <hr> <p><strong>Nextiva DNA </strong>(Core Competencies)</p> <p>Nextiva’s most successful team members share common traits and behaviors:</p> <ul> <li><strong><span data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">Drives Results</span>:</strong> Action-oriented problem solvers who quickly bring clarity and&nbsp;<strong>simplicity</strong> to ambiguity, challenge the status quo, and lead meaningful change; celebrating wins to fuel momentum.
