Hi all - are you a Director of Customer Marketing? If so, would you be willing to share your job description with me?

I'm looking to make a case for a promotion for a Sr. Manager to a Director level and would love to see your job descriptions for Director of Customer Marketing roles in the industry. Alternatively, if you've seen any on LinkedIn, feel free to send them my way! I know the roles vary quite a bit by company and industry, but I'm hoping for a jumping off point to help us get started.

We're a b2b saas company that is modernizing audits. We're about 200 employees - so if you're in a similar industry/size/vertical (or even if you're not in a similar sized boat), it would be so helpful to see your JDs. Feel free to DM them to me. Thank you so much in advance!

I vaguely recall @Leslie Barrett having created a document that could help you with your case.

This is fantastic, thank you so much @Jennifer Lyons.

She really did a fabulous job with this!

I have not looked at this in a while, but it may be interesting to take off the titles and see what your organization would choose to be your level. I recently tried to make a case for myself (and failed), but would be a good way to maybe prove you are working at a higher band

That's such a good idea. I'd be curious to see that too.
Curious what failed for you? If you don't mind sharing of course.

Cara Peterson February 24, 2025 at 11:14 PM

yes, always willing to share to help someone else! I'll send you a DM!

Love seeing this! That document is totally customizable to fit any org. It took me a year to build and looked through a LOT of job descriptions :)

Leslie, that document is epic. Thank you!! I've taken it and pulled the Sr Manager to Director portion of it and put it in front of my people in a spreadsheet so it's clear as day what's needed. Fingers crossed over here!

I wound up getting promoted! I've gone from Senior Manager to Director of Customer Marketing. Thanks for asking ❤️
It was very interesting timing because my boss was let go during the review cycle, so I actually had to make my case to our SLT. I was able to highlight my achievements to make it a complete no brainer for them and advocate for myself when my boss wasn't able to. Really proud of myself and thankful to all of the support here!

Thank you. Truly lucky to have this group of people to support!
