Product Marketing Lead: Temp Maternity Leave Coverage

Responsibilities

• Find new opportunities in your area and lead them from concept through implementation. Set the strategy rather than executing someone else's brief.
• Own end-to-end GTM for your area, from positioning through launch and adoption, and influence the long-term GTM direction with cross-functional leaders.
• Introduce approaches not yet tried at Faire to solve open-ended problems, and influence how decisions get made across cross-functional teams.
• Develop deep customer understanding and translate it into clear, compelling positioning
• Make Faire feel simple to customers. Cut jargon, kill messaging that doesn't matter, and push back on product complexity that won't land.
• Build positioning from scratch and reposition existing products so they land with new or shifting audiences.
• Develop messaging narratives and personas that connect multiple products into one coherent story, driving long-term engagement and retention rather than one-off launch messaging.
• Guide cross-functional GTM teams to operationalize complex, multi-channel campaigns, sequencing customer engagement and education to drive behavior change at the right moments.
• Drive adoption through the right motion for your area, whether sales-assisted or lifecycle-driven: equip sales teams to pitch and close, and build lifecycle and CRM comms that move customers from awareness to adoption to retention.
• Ship to learn: Make directionally right calls with ~70% of the information, put things in market, and iterate fast rather than waiting for perfect.

• Experience driving adoption through a sales-assisted or lifecycle-driven motion: enabling sales teams to pitch and close, and/or building lifecycle and CRM comms.
• Sets measurable GTM goals, architects incrementality and A/B testing with analytics partners, and builds the business case and ROI for the work. Fluent in the metrics that move the business.
• A bias to action and fast iteration: ships to learn, sets their own deadlines and beats them, and stays flexible as new information comes in.
• Experience influencing product roadmaps and program design upstream, not just executing at launch.
• Communicates and aligns senior stakeholders at the executive level.
• Experience conducting or directing customer research and translating findings into positioning and strategy.
