Responsibilities

• Owning platform positioning and messaging — articulating why a unified platform across standard, configurable, and custom components matters, and how AI-driven quoting, automated DFM, and global manufacturing capacity come together as a single value proposition
• Partnering closely with Product Management and Engineering to shape product messaging, positioning, and competitive strategy, and to feed customer and market insight back into roadmap decisions
• Championing an AI-driven mindset — helping identify and articulate where AI can enhance the applications and solutions we deliver to customers, and translating those capabilities into clear market-facing value
• Developing clear, effective messaging by persona and industry vertical — including machine builders, mechanical engineers, and supply chain/procurement leaders — for use in marketing and sales campaigns
• Maintaining up-to-date messaging and product marketing assets across the platform and technology stack
• Interacting with customers and sales reps to document win/loss analysis and deepen our understanding of our target audience
• Evaluating MISUMI Americas positioning against the competition — including both distribution-model players and digital manufacturing competitors — to sharpen differentiation in the market
• Directing launch campaigns for new platform capabilities and technology releases
• Partnering with Product Marketing and Marketing teams to build world-class content, sales tools, and other digital assets — emails, ads, web landing pages, brochures, and technical positioning — that build pipeline and drive bookings
• Enabling our sales teams with product trainings and sales enablement materials

• 7-10 years of experience in manufacturing/supply chain technology, sales, and/or product marketing roles, ideally including technical or platform products

• Hands-on manufacturing experience or a strong working knowledge of manufacturing processes (e.g., CNC machining, injection molding, sheet metal, 3D printing) and how they map to engineering and sourcing decisions
