HubSpot has been on a massive growth trajectory ($2.5B+ ARR, 20%+ YoY growth) and is growing its Corporate Strategy team to drive the company’s growth even further. This team is responsible for partnering with the senior leadership team (e.g., C-Suite, SVPs and VPs) and the Board of Directors to define and accelerate HubSpot’s long term (4 - 6 year) strategy. We accomplish this by clearly articulating the strategic bets that underpin the company’s strategy while understanding the associated opportunities and risks. We then support operationalizing these bets by translating them into actionable plans as part of our strategic planning process. The Corporate Strategy team reports directly to the CEO, but will partner deeply with cross functional leaders in the Product and Go-To-Market organizations.
HubSpot is looking for Corporate Strategy Managers that have deep empathy for the needs of our customers, a strong pulse on the competitive landscape, and also understand how to scale businesses rapidly.

Through working on high-impact, high-visibility projects, you will also get the opportunity to develop professionally as a leader and an influencer.
