• Partner with G&I communications teams to integrate alliances priorities into broader strategic initiatives and enterprise narratives.
• Collaborate closely with the Alliances Chief of Staff, BMC Alliances and Ecosystems leadership team, and Operations teams to support key business priorities, leadership moments, executive engagements and organizational milestones.
