  • Support the design of cross-platform GTM plays and sales-aligned playbooks , translating platform strategy into repeatable engagement models, industry-specific use case motions, and executive-ready conversation frameworks that accelerate pipeline development and revenue progression.
  • Orchestrate platform-level competitive intelligence and readiness , working across subject matter experts in each product domain to develop materials and objection-handling frameworks that clearly articulate “why the IonQ quantum platform delivers greater customer value” versus alternatives and point solutions.
  • Continuously monitor the global quantum competitive landscape , evolving positioning and readiness materials as benchmarks, claims, funding signals, and market narratives shift.
  • Partner closely with Product Managers across product lines to predictably and consistently deliver launches and major technical milestones aligned to sales and marketing motions, ensuring product announcements reinforce platform strategy, roadmap progress, and long-term credibility.
  • Drive cross-functional alignment for launches and milestone releases across Product, Sales, Corporate Marketing, PR, and Analyst Relations to maximize coherent market impact.
  • Develop and support industry- and region-tuned, platform materials , enabling the core quantum narrative to resonate across verticals (e.g., pharma, manufacturing, energy, financial services, defense) and geographies, by demonstrating an understanding of distinct motivations, dynamics and buyer expectations.
