  • Strong executive presence with excellent communication skills, who can communicate complex technical details to a non-technical audience
  • Proven success influencing peers and leaders, across sales, marketing, product, and regional markets
  • Team player, able to collaborate with technical, creative, and business experts at all levels of the organization (including across remote locations)

  • This is a high visibility, high impact position, supporting Klaviyo’s strategic focus on increasing penetration upmarket
  • This role requires a strong cross-functional collaborator, who will partner closely across sales, enablement, integrated marketing, creative, and product
  • Your ability to articulate and align customer and market insights with our company goals and product strategy is essential to Klaviyo’s success
  • Subject Matter Expertise: Be an expert on the mid market segment for the Klaviyo organization, including:
  • Building a deep understanding of the customer’s needs and pain points, key personas, and the makeup of the buying committee
  • Tracking market and competitive trends

Our take

Klaviyo is a marketing firm helping growth-focused eCommerce brands drive more sales with super-targeted, highly relevant email, Facebook and Instagram marketing campaigns. From personalised newsletters to automated emails when customers abandon their shopping carts, the marketing automation platform makes it easy for businesses to capture, store, analyze, and predictively use their own data to drive measurable, high-value outcomes.

Klaviyo's CEO, Bialecki, believes that the main problem with e-mail marketing today is that there is a divide between two kinds of tools: analytics tools that help you understand what people are doing on a website, such as what products they are considering, and messaging tools that send them a marketing e-mail. Operating primarily within the retail and eCommerce industry, Klaviyo aims to solve this by offering a tool that brings together analytics and messaging. This allows companies to bring all of their first-party data into a single platform to get a deep understanding of their customers and then activate that data to deliver highly-targeted, personalised communications through email and SMS. In the process, Klaviyo's customers get a deep understanding of their consumers.

Klaviyo is a fast-growing company mainly due to its business model - the firm offers a concrete ROI for Klaviyo’s clients if the software persuades customers to make purchases by treating different types of customers differently. An IPO in 2023 has led to Klaviyo's release of Klaviyo AI, which empowers businesses to unlock revenue-driving opportunities and deliver exceptional customer experiences across channels. Still in its early days of public listing, it will be interesting to see how Klaviyo fares in the years to come.
