  • Lead GTM and product launches with cross-functional teams
  • Translate customer learnings into roadmap and content that moves deals

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own positioning and messaging for the Baselayer platform and its individual products, grounded in real customer research rather than internal opinion
  • Build the sales narrative end to end, including pitch decks, one-pagers, battlecards, objection handling, and ROI framing that AEs actually use
  • Lead go-to-market for product launches: define the audience, set the launch tier, coordinate Product, Sales, and Design, and own the outcome after ship
  • Run competitive and market intelligence across the KYB, fraud, and onboarding landscape, and turn it into guidance the team can act on
  • Partner with Sales to diagnose where deals stall, then build the content and enablement that unsticks them
  • Interview customers and prospects regularly, and bring what you learn back into product strategy and roadmap conversations
  • Drive pricing and packaging work alongside Product and Sales leadership as we expand the platform
  • Write the substantive content that earns credibility with a risk and compliance audience: case studies, benchmark reports, webinars, and thought leadership
  • Define what success looks like for your work and report on it honestly, including pipeline influenced, win rate, and launch adoption
  • Based in New York City; Full-time in office

Requirements

  • 5+ years of product marketing experience at a B2B software company, including time at a startup or early-stage team
  • A track record of owning positioning and messaging for a technical product, not just executing campaigns someone else scoped
  • Excellent writing, with the ability to take a dense technical capability and make it sharp, specific, and free of buzzwords
  • Experience running product launches from strategy through post-launch measurement
  • Comfort working directly with sales teams and sitting in on customer calls
  • Strong judgment about what to prioritize when everything is unbuilt and there’s no playbook
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity, with a bias toward shipping over polishing

Preferred

  • Experience marketing to banks, credit unions, fintechs, or other financial institutions
  • Working knowledge of KYB, KYC, AML, fraud, underwriting, or merchant onboarding
  • Experience marketing AI or data products to a skeptical, compliance-minded buyer
  • You’ve been an early marketing hire and built the function from the ground up
  • Fluency with analytics and CRM data, so you pull your own numbers rather than waiting on someone else
  • Experience with pricing and packaging decisions across a multi-product platform
  • You’re proactive, opinionated about craft, and motivated to build something that lasts

Benefits

  • Time off when you need it: Flexible PTO so you can recharge without red tape
  • In-person energy: We're based in NYC & SF and meet in the office full-time
  • Competitive compensation: We pay well and back it with equity. We want you to think and act like an owner
  • Career rocket fuel: You'll help build the foundation of a high-growth startup, working side by side with experienced founders and team members who've done it before
  • Benefits on us: We cover 100% of your health, dental, and vision premiums. No surprise deductions from your paycheck
  • 401(k) with company match : We match your contributions so your future self benefits too
  • HSA contributions included: We contribute to your HSA on applicable plans, so your coverage works as hard as you do
  • Stay healthy, stay sharp: A $250 monthly gym stipend to help you bring your best self to work, and everywhere else
