At Dialpad, you'll be part of a collaborative team working toward our shared mission of making our customers and their employees wildly successful.

We thrive on continuous evolution, where every employee leverages industry-leading Ai to constantly refine our platform and our own skills. We seek individuals who not only meet our high standards but go beyond them. Our ambition is significant, and achieving it requires a team that operates at the highest level. We look for individuals who are not just ambitious but who also possess the traits that are fundamental to our success : Scrappy, Curious, Optimistic, Persistent, and Empathetic .

Your Role

As Sr. Program Manager reporting directly to the SVP of Marketing, you'll be the operational backbone that transforms our marketing organization from good to exceptional. This is a high-visibility, high-impact role where you'll have direct access to executive leadership while driving the operational transformation that scales our marketing effectiveness across a $400M ARR business.

This isn't your typical program management role - you'll be the operational architect who turns strategic vision into systematic execution. You'll identify AI opportunities we're not capitalizing on, optimize workflows that could be exponentially more efficient, and scale processes that work brilliantly in one team across our entire 1,500+ person organization. You'll operationalize everything from our quarterly planning process to our cross-functional project delivery, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

Direct SVP reporting relationship means : immediate exposure to executive strategy sessions, board-level visibility on your initiatives, fast-track decision-making, and direct input into organizational direction.

Your initial focus will be operationalizing our marketing organization end-to-end. This includes conducting a comprehensive AI audit across demand generation, sales enablement, customer marketing, and operations to identify immediate optimization opportunities. Simultaneously, you'll design our quarterly planning process, implement systematic project tracking across all marketing initiatives, and build operational cadences that ensure nothing falls through the cracks. You'll establish the operational foundation that scales our marketing effectiveness and drives measurable productivity gains within your first quarter.

What You'll Do

• Operationalize our entire marketing planning process - from quarterly OKR setting to weekly execution rhythms.
• Design and implement systematic project delivery frameworks that ensure cross-functional initiatives actually get completed.
• Build comprehensive operational cadences - from weekly marketing leadership meetings and monthly all-hands to quarterly business reviews and project status reporting - that drive accountability, visibility, and team alignment.
• Create and manage marketing operations playbooks that scale successful processes across all teams.
• Lead a comprehensive AI audit across all marketing functions to identify immediate productivity gains and build implementation roadmaps.
• Drive tool evaluation, procurement, and rollout across marketing to maximize operational efficiency.
• Identify workflow bottlenecks and design systematic solutions that scale across demand generation, customer marketing, sales enablement, and marketing operations.
• Operationalize our approach to testing and scaling new technologies and processes.
• Own end-to-end delivery of complex, multi-team strategic initiatives (like launches, campaign optimization programs, organizational restructuring).
• Drive cross-functional alignment between Marketing, Sales, Product, and Customer Success teams.
• Create systematic approaches to project planning, resource allocation, and delivery tracking.
• Serve as the operational extension of the SVP of Marketing on high-stakes initiatives.
• Coordinate executive communications, board deck preparation, and strategic planning processes.
• Manage confidential organizational changes including team restructuring and process optimization.
• Lead special projects requiring executive discretion and flawless operational execution.
