This role will operate as a centralized Center of Excellence, building an AI-native creative engine that accelerates asset delivery, expands content variety, and raises the quality of market-facing GTM materials.

This is a highly strategic, hands-on role for someone who can define the overarching interactive media strategy while also rolling up their sleeves to design, edit, and produce high-impact assets. The ideal candidate is a player-coach who can establish scalable creative workflows, operationalize generative AI tools, mentor marketing teams, and safeguard Appian’s brand integrity across every asset.

In this role, you will:

  • Design and execute scalable operating models for video, interactive content, and high-impact digital assets, including interactive guides, calculators, comparison tools, and buyer enablement materials.
  • Define and deploy AI-native creative workflows that enable the broader Product Marketing and Solutions Marketing teams to create interactive assets more efficiently while maintaining strong brand governance.
  • Serve as an internal expert on AI-enabled creative delivery, digital asset trends, innovative layouts, and modern content production practices.
  • Directly build, edit, and produce high-quality multimedia deliverables, including videos, motion graphics, advanced digital layouts, and interactive content.
  • Align the multimedia asset roadmap to the end-to-end buyer journey across web, digital campaigns, sales enablement, and field activation.
  • Build and manage a scalable external network of digital architects, production partners, and creative specialists to support faster execution and reduce delivery bottlenecks.
  • Ensure localized, self-served, and AI-generated assets align with Appian’s brand standards, product portfolio messaging, and quality expectations.
  • Act as a hands-on mentor and central advisor across the Product Marketing and Solutions Marketing teams, helping elevate design, multimedia, and interactive content capabilities.
  • Partner with Product, Marketing, and Sales leadership to translate complex technical portfolios into cohesive visual narratives that support demand generation and sales velocity.
  • Establish repeatable creative systems, templates, standards, and workflows that make it easier for teams to create consistent, high-impact GTM assets at scale.
  • Balance speed, creativity, accuracy, and brand integrity across AI-assisted asset production and traditional creative workflows.

 

Success in this role will be measured by:

  • Quality, consistency, and scalability of Appian’s digital and interactive GTM assets.
  • Adoption and effectiveness of AI-native creative workflows across Product Marketing and Solutions Marketing.
  • Speed and efficiency of multimedia asset delivery without sacrificing brand integrity or message quality.
  • Impact of interactive content, video, and visual storytelling on demand generation, buyer engagement, and sales enablement.
  • Strength of cross-functional alignment across Product, Marketing, Sales, Creative, and Enablement teams.
  • Effectiveness of templates, systems, and operating models that allow teams to self-serve high-quality assets.
  • Ability to translate complex technical concepts into simple, compelling visual stories for enterprise audiences.

Qualifications:

  • 10–15+ years of senior-level experience across product marketing, content strategy, brand building, creative strategy, digital media, or GTM operational leadership within B2B technology.
  • Expert hands-on proficiency with Adobe Creative Cloud, including Premiere Pro, After Effects, InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop.

  • Experience supporting Product Marketing or Solutions Marketing organizations.
  • Experience building AI-enabled creative systems, content engines, design templates, or self-service asset creation workflows.
  • Strong background in video production, motion graphics, digital storytelling, and buyer journey content strategy.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
