Program Innovation & Continuous Improvement: Stay current on evolving field and event marketing trends, technologies, and emerging AI capabilities. Bring curiosity and new ideas to the program, identify opportunities to improve the customer and prospect experience, and continuously evolve how WP Engine approaches field marketing.
