Key leadership role within the business, responsible for setting and executing the strategic direction of the Bentley Systems brand for its next stage of growth.

  • Facilitate and ensure alignment across Bentley System’s leadership team through whatever means necessary (e.g. additional collaborative workshops, additional playbacks, additional iterations, employee-wide survey)
  • Facilitate and ensure alignment across the strategic brand platform and existing projects (e.g. Product architecture, messaging platform, narrative, storytelling framework / initiatives / content themes) through further immersion and stakeholder engagement
  • Develop the brand’s verbal identity (with selected copywriter), first addressing the TOV and corporate brand messaging
  • Translate that TOV and messaging across all touchpoints, first addressing Bentley Systems key website pages as its ‘shop window’ for customers, talent, and investors
  • Help rework existing projects and frameworks (e.g. messaging platform, narrative) for alignment, consistency and impact
  • Develop a messaging matrix across key audiences and agreed upon segmentation
  • Work in partnership with the Executive Creative Director to evolve the brand’s visual identity based on the final strategic brand platform, first exploring high level visual concepts and then translating the final route across applications
  • Help sell in the new visual identity and ‘kit of parts’ to the leadership team, showing how it connects and drives the brand strategy forward
  • Develop the high-level design principles with the design team to guide the overall visual expression
  • Develop more detailed principles for key assets (e.g. photography, motion, etc)
  • Develop a central hub for all design assets and guidance
  • Establish a brand governance framework, utilising AI to quickly address questions and point colleagues in the right direction for guidance
  • Work alongside the CMO and marketing teams to ensure marketing communications, activations and storytelling initiatives are ‘on-brand’
  • Develop brand-led campaigns to raise the awareness of Bentley Systems, emphasising key thought leadership pillars / content themes
  • Develop brand-led event messaging and collateral with the marketing and design teams
  • Launch and embed the evolved Bentley System’s brand across the wider organisation through three key stages: ‘Get it’ (I understand the power of brand and how it can help us succeed), ‘Own it’ (I’m an advocate for it and feel confident in explaining it), ‘Use it’ (I can use it with my teams and clients as a business tool)
  • Work with the design team to develop key tactics and assets for each stage, bringing in additional resource / agency partners when necessary
  • Oversee the existing brand architecture project, ensuring it aligns with the corporate brand strategy and strategic ambitions of the business
  • Develop a ‘branded house’ / ‘becoming one’ migration plan for all products, working in collaboration with product leads and sales teams
  • Develop naming + nomenclature rules across products, services, features, NPD
  • Develop benefit-led product propositions and corresponding marketing / sales collateral
  • Develop elevator pitches across all Bentley products, laddering up and down from the corporate narrative
  • Facilitate training across sales teams, raising the importance of both corporate and product brands
  • Strengthen and build Bentley Systems employer brand, ensuring greater awareness, attraction and retention
  • Collaborate with the Chief People Officer to establish a compelling EVP (Employee Value Proposition) born out of the corporate brand’s central idea and strategic brand platform
  • Facilitate, rework and ensure alignment across other key people initiatives (e.g. MAP)

Requirements:

  • At least 10+ years in brand strategy, with experience at an equivalent leadership level
  • A proven track record of leading a major brand evolution or transformation for a complex organization
  • Deep, hands-on experience with brand and product architecture projects, specifically managing a migration to a "Branded House" model
