Customer Solutions Marketing Manager

The name ThousandEyes was born from two big ideas: the power to see what’s not ordinarily possible, and the ability to collect intelligence from vantage points as diverse and global as the Internet. As organizations depend on cloud services, the Internet has become their defacto network connecting cloud applications to users. Our Internet and cloud intelligence platform is like a ‘Google maps of the Internet’, providing the only collectively powered view of digital experiences end-to-end. We enable our customers made up of the world’s largest and fastest-growing brands, to identify problems before they impact revenue, brand reputation, or employee productivity.

In August 2020, Cisco Systems completed the acquisition of ThousandEyes, which now forms the ThousandEyes Business Unit within Cisco’s Network Services Business Group, and is a foundational component of Cisco’s growing Observability business.

ThousandEyes is looking for exceptional people to join our newly formed Go-to-Market Programs team, helping to define the Digital Experience Monitoring category, and working closely with Sales and Demand Generation teams to drive success in one of Cisco’s fastest growing business units.

The ideal candidate is passionate about technology, and will combine product and/or industry marketing experience with a deep understanding of content and campaign building. You’ll be able to blend technical, market and industry understanding with business acumen, enabling you to develop compelling content and campaigns, and will work closely with the sales teams to help ensure successful sales and marketing initiatives. 

While understanding the key components of digital transformation, such as application experience, cloud, SaaS, and Internet-centric networking is essential, the Go-to-Market Programs team is responsible for translating product capabilities into content that will support key sales and demand generation priorities, such as industry, solution, eco-system and installed based or new business campaigns..

#WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our talents to work as a team and make a difference powering an inclusive future for all.

We embrace digital, and help our customers implement change in their digital businesses. Some may think we’re “old” (36 years strong) and only about hardware, but we’re also a software company. And a security company. We even invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns and protects. No other company can do what we do –you can’t put us in a box! But “Digital Transformation” is an empty buzz phrase without a culture that allows for innovation, creativity, and yes, even failure (if you learn from it.)

Day to day, we focus on the give and take. We give our best, give our egos a break, and give of ourselves (because giving back is built into our DNA.) We take accountability, bold steps, and take difference to heart. Because without diversity of thought and a dedication to equality for all, there is no moving forward.

So, you have colourful hair? Don’t care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? That’s cool. Pop culture geek? Many of us are. Passion for technology and world changing? Be you, with us.

We recognize that diverse teams make the strongest teams, and we encourage people from all backgrounds to apply.
