  • Partner with content and PMM to ensure campaigns are anchored in differentiated messaging across Asana's core GTM pillars (Operations, Marketing, IT/AI, and Agencies).
  • Define attribution models and reporting frameworks that provide clear visibility into marketing's contribution to new logo acquisition and pipeline.
  • Bring an AI-first approach to demand generation workflows, utilizing automation for campaign launches, optimization, content personalization at scale, and reporting.
