We are seeking a proactive, customer-focused Customer Marketing Senior Specialist to help expand and scale PTC's global Customer Reference Program while supporting strategic customer community and advocacy initiatives. Based in Barcelona, this role will work closely with Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, Product Marketing, and customers around the world to identify, recruit, and nurture customer advocates who can share their transformation stories and business outcomes. 

The successful candidate will play a critical role in maintaining the ongoing rhythm of reference recruitment, customer storytelling, and advocacy engagement.
