Senior Engagement Marketing Manager

Pathstream |Marketing | New York, NY (Remote or Hybrid)

This is a full-time, exempt position and reports to the Head of Product and Lifecycle Marketing.

Pathstream was founded on the premise that substantial unrealized economic and human potential exists within each organization's frontline workforce. We are reshaping the way employees and managers on the frontlines excel in their careers. In this age of rapid tech evolution, our enterprise partnerships transform frontline teams from transactional to relational, and from task-oriented to strategic.

We impact companies' bottom lines with improved productivity, increased retention, and differentiated quality of customer experience — while employees experience greater success in their current roles and unlock future professional growth.

We're a tight-knit, hardworking, mission-driven team of ~60 employees eager to scale our solution and transform careers across the United States.

As we continue to grow our portfolio of enterprise customers, it's critical that we nurture partner employees and effectively guide them through the Pathstream experience to drive customer activation, retention, growth, and happiness. Lifecycle Marketing touches every aspect of our business — from enrolling learners in programs to launching new partners, activating partner employee accounts, and keeping them actively engaged with Pathstream over the long term. Each of these initiatives ties directly to revenue opportunities and our ability to grow with our B2B partners.
