Marketing Programs Manager

About Mistral AI

Mistral AI is a leading AI lab based in Paris, France, dedicated to building advanced large language models. We’re a team of world-class engineers, researchers, and builders who believe in the power of AI to transform industries and improve lives. Our mission is to make AI accessible, safe, and impactful for everyone.

We’re growing rapidly and looking for a Marketing Programs Manager to help us scale our marketing efforts with clarity, focus, and operational excellence. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, love solving complex problems, and want to play a key role in shaping the future of AI, this is the opportunity for you.

About The Role

As Marketing Programs Manager, you’ll act as the strategic right hand to the marketing leadership team, ensuring alignment, execution, and impact across all marketing initiatives. You’ll orchestrate priorities, remove roadblocks, and drive cross-functional collaboration to accelerate Mistral AI’s growth.

This role is perfect for someone with a program management, consulting, or chief of staff background—someone who is low-ego, highly analytical, and passionate about enabling teams to do their best work. While a marketing background is a plus, it’s not essential; what matters most is your ability to think strategically, communicate clearly, and execute flawlessly.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Planning & Prioritization

• Partner with marketing leadership to define and align on quarterly and annual priorities.
• Translate high-level goals into actionable plans, ensuring resources are allocated effectively.
• Identify gaps, risks, and opportunities in the marketing roadmap and propose solutions.
  
  
  

Cross-Functional Orchestration

• Act as a bridge between Marketing, Product, Sales, and Communications to ensure alignment and execution.
• Facilitate decision-making by synthesizing data, insights, and stakeholder input.
• Lead cross-functional projects, ensuring timely delivery and high-quality outcomes.
  
  
  

Operational Excellence

• Develop and maintain processes to streamline workflows, improve efficiency, and enhance collaboration.
• Track and report on key metrics, providing visibility into progress and performance.
• Identify bottlenecks and implement solutions to keep the team moving forward.
  
  
  

Communication & Stakeholder Management

• Serve as a central point of contact for internal and external stakeholders, ensuring clear and consistent communication.
• Prepare materials for leadership meetings, board updates, and company-wide presentations.
• Foster a culture of transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement.
  
  
  

What You’ll Bring

• 3+ years of experience in program management, consulting, operations, or a chief of staff role, preferably in tech, SaaS, or AI.
• A master’s degree in business, strategy, or a related field is preferred.
• Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to turn data into actionable insights.
• Strong project management skills, with a track record of driving cross-functional initiatives.
• Low-ego, collaborative mindset with the ability to influence without authority.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to tailor messages for different audiences.
• Passion for AI, tech, or innovation—bonus if you’ve worked in a startup or high-growth environment.
• Ability to thrive in ambiguity and adapt quickly to changing priorities.
