Job Summary

Own the market narrative and end‑to‑end launches, aligning product, sales, and marketing while obsessing over customer needs and measurable outcomes.

  • Define market POV and target buyers
  • Lead cross‑functional launches with readiness and metrics

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Turn ambiguity into clarity. Transform complex product capabilities into a crisp market point of view, defining not just what we built, but who it’s for, what it replaces, and why it wins.
  • Drive launches as a system, not an event. Orchestrate product introductions by defining success metrics and sequencing readiness across teams, ensuring enablement and proof points land simultaneously with the launch.
  • Make others materially better at their jobs. Equip customer-facing teams with "talk tracks that close," handling objections and providing competitive intelligence that reflects the actual battlefield.
  • Obsess over the customer and the market. Maintain a sharp, real-time view of buyer needs and alternatives, ensuring our narrative remains grounded in truth and provable value rather than empty hype.
  • Measure outcomes, not just outputs. Tie messaging and launches to tangible pipeline influence, activation, and retention, running lightweight experiments to iterate fast on pricing, packaging, and positioning.
  • Influence without authority. Lead through alignment by pre-wiring decisions, surfacing risks early, and managing trade-offs to keep product, sales, and marketing moving in lockstep.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of experience in product marketing, ideally within a high-growth technology company where you have owned end-to-end product launches.
  • Proven track record of synthesizing complex technical concepts into simple, specific, and provable narratives that travel across executive, sales, and partner teams.
  • Deep familiarity with the rules of traditional marketing with an interest in breaking them.
  • World-class storytelling skills grounded in data, with the ability to summarize a product’s value in a single sentence and defend it with evidence.
  • Extreme comfort delivering clarity in high-velocity, ambiguous environments.
