Director, Advocacy & Influence

Position Summary

The Director, Advocacy & Influence will lead Bentley’s strategy for customer advocacy, influencer engagement, and champion activation across our ecosystem. This role will identify, nurture, and activate authentic voices — from passionate users and customer champions to key external influencers — and turn those relationships into references, speaking opportunities, co-marketing, market credibility, and business impact.

This leader will own Bentley’s advocacy strategy, influencer relationships, and Bentley’s annual Year in Infrastructure (YII) Awards program, helping build a more intentional and scalable engine for customer voice, external influence, and third-party validation.

The right person for this role is highly relationship-oriented, energized by working with users and influencers, and excited to build a modern advocacy function that increases trust, expands visibility, and supports growth.
