About the role
About Presidio
At Presidio, we’re at the forefront of a global technology revolution, transforming industries through cutting-edge digital solutions and next-generation AI. We empower businesses—and their customers—to achieve more through innovation, automation, and intelligent insights.
The Role
Presidio sits at one of the most interesting inflection points in B2B technology services. We're a scaled, PE-backed company competing head-to-head with the biggest names in IT solutions — and winning. But the world doesn't fully know our story yet. That's where you come in. We're looking for a VP of Brand, Communications who is equal parts strategist, storyteller, and operator. Someone who has sat across the table from a CEO and earned their trust. Someone who has shaped a company's narrative during high-stakes moments — an IPO, an acquisition, a reinvention — and knows how to move with speed without losing precision.
Brand & Corporate Narrative
- Define and drive Presidio's brand architecture, visual identity, and messaging, including shepherding our unified AI identity to market.
- Partner directly with the CMO to sharpen the company's point of view and ensure it lands consistently across every touchpoint.
- Own the story of who Presidio is and why it matters and make sure every team member can tell it.
Executive & CEO Communications
- Serve as a trusted communications advisor to the CEO, drafting keynote narratives, earnings call talking points, press releases, board presentations, and thought leadership.
- Build executive visibility programs that put Presidio leaders on the right stages, in the right publications, and in front of the right audiences.
- Operate with discretion and judgment in sensitive, high-stakes situations.
Public Relations & Analyst Relations
- Lead a high-performing PR team and agency relationships to drive strategic, proactive media coverage, not just reactive press releases.
- Build and manage a serious analyst relations program: Gartner, Forrester, IDC, and beyond, because you understand that analyst validation is a sales tool.
- Position Presidio within the analyst conversation on AI, cloud, and managed services in ways that accelerate pipeline.
Content Marketing & Creative
- Oversee content strategy and production across thought leadership, demand generation support, social, and digital with a bias toward content that drives revenue, not just readership.
- Lead the creative function: brand standards, visual design, campaign assets, and overall aesthetic quality.
- Develop and execute Presidio's social media presence, LinkedIn-first, but with a coherent multi-channel strategy.
Corporate Events
- Own the full corporate events portfolio — from company-wide Sales Kickoff and Presidio LAB (our flagship technical conference) to Presidio Perspectives (executive summits) and The Presidio Forum.
- Lead Presidio's presence at major industry tradeshows and partner events, including Cisco Live, AWS re: Invent, Microsoft Ignite, and others — ensuring every activation is on-brand, measurable, and strategically aligned.
- Drive the strategy behind the event calendar: which events we own, which we sponsor, and which we walk away from, and hold the team accountable for clear ROI on every dollar spent.
- Partner with field marketing, sales, and partner teams to ensure events create real pipeline momentum, not just impressions.
AI Visibility & LLM Strategy
This one is non-negotiable: you need to understand how LLMs surface brands and know how to optimize for that from content strategy to entity authority to citation architecture. Lead Presidio's strategy for AI-era discoverability: ensuring we show up when a buyer asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini who the best AI implementation partner is. Bring proof points, not just familiarity, with LLM visibility work.
What We're Looking For
You've done this before—at least most of it. You've built brand functions, not just run them. You've sat across the table from Gartner or Forrester and left with a better position than you walked in with. And you're starting to build real expertise in the emerging discipline of AI-era brand visibility.
You Bring
- Experience: 12+ years of progressive brand, communications, and/or content marketing experience in B2B technology.
- Executive Presence: Demonstrated track record advising and writing for C-suite executives on high-stakes communications — earnings, acquisitions, board narratives, media moments.
- PR/AR Depth: Hands-on leadership of PR and analyst relations programs at a technology services or enterprise software company.
- Transactions: Experience in PE-backed, high-growth environments; exposure to M&A integration communications; a plus if you've supported a company through an IPO or public-company readiness process.
- Creative Leadership: Proven ability to build and lead creative, content, and social teams and to elevate the quality of work, not just manage the volume.
- AI Fluency: Real, demonstrable work in LLM visibility, generative AI content strategy, or AI-era SEO; not just awareness of the topic.
- Events Leadership: Experience leading large-scale corporate events — SKOs, technical conferences, executive summits, and major tradeshow activations with a clear line of sight to pipeline and brand impact.
- Operating Style: A bias toward speed, directness, and outcomes over process and perfection.
Who You Are
You're someone who reads the room. You know when to push and when to listen. You can write a tight headline and a 10-page board narrative — and you know which one the moment calls for. You care about building something that lasts, not just the next campaign. You're confident enough to tell the CEO their draft needs work, and skilled enough that they're glad you did. You know that brand is built in the details — the word choice, the visual, the timing — and you hold that bar for your team and yourself. You want to be somewhere that's moving fast, where your work is directly connected to revenue and company value, and where marketing is genuinely seen as a growth driver.
