Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Shape Eightfold's AI Narrative

  • Translate complex technical concepts into clear business value by working closely with engineering, AI research, and product leadership
  • Build high-authority content including technical explainers, thought leadership pieces, briefing materials, and vision decks that help customers, prospects, and analysts understand Eightfold's platform and approach
  • Equip sales, customer success, and other go-to-market teams to confidently speak to our AI architecture, platform capabilities, and Responsible AI framework — developing the messaging, explanation frameworks, and enablement needed for both technical and non-technical audiences
  • Monitor the AI landscape — including emerging agent frameworks, LLM developments, and evolving regulations — and translate those trends into actionable guidance for messaging, positioning, and field education
  • Own Core Product Marketing Responsibilities
  • Develop and maintain product messaging and positioning for assigned product areas, grounded in customer insights, value drivers, and competitive dynamics
  • Lead go-to-market planning and execution for product launches, partnering closely with product, engineering, and cross-functional stakeholders to deliver clear and well-sequenced launches
  • Create and maintain a robust library of enablement assets — pitch decks, one-pagers, talk tracks, and demo flows — that equip sellers and customer-facing teams to engage effectively at every stage of the buying cycle

Requirements

  • 5–8+ years of product marketing experience in B2B SaaS, with a track record of supporting technically complex or AI/ML-driven products at a senior level
  • Demonstrated ownership of core product areas, including developing messaging and positioning, supporting roadmap conversations, and driving go-to-market readiness end to end
  • Proven ability to translate complex technical concepts — including AI architecture, data systems, and emerging techniques — into clear, audience-appropriate narratives for buyers, analysts, and internal teams
  • Exceptional writing and content development skills, with experience producing technical explainers, product narratives, and enablement materials without heavy reliance on agencies

  • Track record of equipping sales and customer-facing teams with the messaging, frameworks, and competitive clarity needed to win in complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise deals
  • Strong ability to manage go-to-market readiness for new capabilities, driving alignment across Product, Sales, CS, and broader GTM teams
  • Ability to synthesize AI trends, competitive movements, and regulatory developments into actionable guidance for messaging, positioning, and internal education
