Industry narratives and content: Partner with communications, demand generation, and subject matter experts to develop high-impact, segment-specific content, including whitepapers, presentations, use cases, customer stories, and executive thought leadership.

Develop and drive Client Advisory boards and Customer conference.
Customer and market insights: Conduct qualitative and quantitative research (directly and via partners) to uncover buying criteria, persona needs, and barriers to adoption. Feed insights into content, product, and campaign strategy.
Cross-functional alignment: Act as the connective tissue between marketing, sales, product, and policy teams-ensuring Bloom's GTM approach reflects the realities of our customers and their operating environments.
