Overview:

Blue Yonder, a global leader in supply chain management, is seeking a Vice President, Lifecycle Marketing to design and lead a new, cohesive function responsible for how we communicate with customers across their entire journey with Blue Yonder.

This role will consolidate that work into one function, building a consistent, AI-powered approach to broadcast customer communications, lifecycle campaigns, and cross-sell/upsell programs.

Scope:

This is explicitly not a customer service or one-to-one support role. It is a marketing and communications leadership role focused on scaled, coordinated engagement across every customer touchpoint - including additional channels, such as in-product/platform engagement and the customer portal.

Product and Portal as Marketing Touchpoints

• Treat in-product messaging (the software itself) and the customer portal as owned, coordinated marketing channels - not incidental UI elements.

• Partner with Product and UX teams to plan and govern in-app announcements, banners, walkthroughs, and notifications as part of the broader lifecycle communications calendar.

• Shape the customer portal's content and communication strategy so that self-service support experiences also reinforce adoption, retention, andexpansionmessaging.
