Airops The Enterprise Strategy Lead at AirOps partners with senior marketing leaders to connect business goals to AI search investments. This role leads strategic discovery, builds account strategies, and shapes enterprise deals to drive growth.
Responsibilities
AirOps is expanding into larger enterprise partnerships that bring together owned content, external content, and emerging channels such as AI advertising. We’re looking for an Enterprise Strategy Lead to help senior marketing leaders connect their business goals to the right investments across AI search.
This is an individual contributor role partnering closely with Account Executives throughout the enterprise sales process. You’ll lead strategic discovery with senior buyers and build account strategies yourself, from research and analysis to the story you present to a customer. Your work will help customers understand where to invest, what outcomes to expect, and how an initial program can grow over time.
You’ll shape how we approach each opportunity, assess whether there’s a strong fit, and build the business case for the recommended program. You’ll also turn successful approaches into frameworks and materials the broader sales team can use.
Lead strategic discovery. Understand each buyer’s business goals, marketing investments, priorities, and constraints.
Build account strategies. Recommend an initial program across relevant AI-search channels, with a clear rationale, expected outcomes, and a path to expansion.
Own the research and analysis. Identify the data needed, conduct the analysis, and turn findings into a compelling story for senior marketing leaders.
Shape enterprise deals. Work alongside Account Executives in daily deal discussions to strengthen the business case, improve win rates, and define the right starting program size.
Qualify opportunities. Assess customer fit, expansion potential, and whether the proposed program aligns with what AirOps can deliver.
Coordinate specialists. Bring in product, research, and channel experts when needed, with clear questions and focused briefs.
Build the playbook. Translate successful deal strategies into discovery frameworks, account planning tools, and sales materials the team adopts.
