This includes localizing global strategies for cultural resonance, activating impactful product and feature launches (NPIs / NFIs), sustaining conversation through evergreen storytelling, and shaping Sonos' presence across consumer tech, lifestyle, business, and trade media.

You will work directly with agencies in the US and Canada, and in Latin America you will collaborate closely with the Marketing Manager, LATAM, and distributor partners / agencies to align strategies, provide toolkits, and ensure execution reflects Sonos' standards.

Your success will be measured by your ability to deliver innovative earned and influencer programs that support Sonos' business goals and consistently meet agreed-upon marketing KPIs.
