Description

Description:

Overview: Audience-Based Marketing (ABM) at Kaiser is a strategy discipline, not a campaign discipline. ABM starts before channels, creative, or tactics: with a sharp point of view on a priority audience, their needs, barriers, motivations, decision journey, and growth opportunity. This role owns the upstream strategy that guides the work, defining the audience opportunity, synthesizing insight, making trade-offs, setting messaging direction, and aligning teams around what matters most. This combines functions across audience strategy, brand strategy, brand management, consumer strategy, segment strategy, lifecycle strategy and experience strategy.

The ABM Marketing Consultant V leads the strategy for an assigned priority audience segment and translates that strategy into measurable growth, engagement, and retention outcomes. This role stays at the strategic level: diagnoses the audience's pain points, defines the opportunity, identifies the insight, chooses where to focus, and determines what the marketing must do before moving into execution. Success requires ensuring every executional point remains on strategy. The consultant builds and manages the strategic spine that guides creative, media, messaging, content, sales enablement, measurement, and experience decisions across the consumer journey, throughout the marketing funnel, and beyond. They will partner with cross-functional teams, challenge tactical-first thinking, and keep the work anchored in audience understanding and business impact.
