The Customer Marketing and Advocacy team builds programs that put customers at the center of Asana’s go-to-market by cultivating strategic relationships that drive insights, engagement, and product innovation. We’re looking for a Customer Marketing & Advocacy Manager to join our team in Chicago or Vancouver to own our core advisory programs: Customer Advisory Boards (CAB), the Customer Product Council, and Lighthouse, our early-adopter validation program.

This role is based in our Vancouver office with an office-centric hybrid schedule. The standard in-office days are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.

Partner on the Product Council customer feedback forum by advising on participant experience, engaging advocates, and connecting member insights to wider advocacy opportunities.

Establish governance, sequencing, and measurement across all advisory programs, building feedback reporting loops to show how customer input shapes product and go-to-market strategies.

Partner with Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success to identify strategic customer stories and translate them into multi-format assets, including case studies, customer films, speaker engagements, and media opportunities.

Activate customer advocates across campaigns and product launches, matching the right customer voice to the right moment to support core marketing narratives.

Strong program management skills with experience executing complex, multi-stakeholder programs and initiatives independently.

Strong customer relationship skills, with the ability to navigate executive-level conversations and champion a customer-first approach.

Skilled storyteller with experience translating customer feedback and qualitative input into compelling narratives that drive business outcomes.

Willingness and ability to travel as needed for in-person customer events and marketing initiatives.
