Marketing Strategist Cloud and AI
Description
The role translates business, technology and market developments into clear marketing choices: where Nokia should play, which audiences and opportunities matter most, how Nokia should position itself and where GMC should focus its investment and resources.
Operating across Nokia's businesses and GMC, the strategist connects market intelligence, customer needs, technology developments, competitive dynamics and Nokia's portfolio into a compelling and differentiated strategic narrative.
This is a senior strategic role. It is not primarily responsible for campaign or programme execution. Instead, it sets the direction that enables Marketing Planners, Campaign teams, Communications, Brand, Field Marketing and specialist teams to build integrated plans and execute effectively.

Experience working within large, global organizations, leveraging data-driven insights to refine strategy and measure business impact.
It would be nice if you also had:
- Experience within telecommunications, cloud infrastructure, or enterprise technology sectors.
