• Lead product marketing for joint launches, co-marketing campaigns, and major alliance field moments, coordinating across alliances, product, and marketing teams
• Support the GTM models behind each alliance, including marketplace, co-sell, and integration motions, with the positioning, content, and enablement they need to perform
• Create enablement that alliance sellers actually use: solution briefs, pitch decks, objection-handling guides, and co-branded campaign materials
• Drive co-marketing programs with strategic alliances that deliver measurable pipeline contribution and deal acceleration
• Own Competitive Intelligence & Technical Positioning
• Own the competitive intelligence function: monitor competitor products, architectures, disclosures, and market signals, and distill them into succinct, actionable guidance for sales, product, and leadership
• Build and maintain the compete program, including battlecards, compete decks, objection handling, and win/loss insights, that gives the field and partners clear evidence for why Obsidian wins

Requirements

• Technical to the core, fluent in the "why." 8+ years in product, technical, or partner marketing in cybersecurity or enterprise software, ideally with a hands-on technical background.
• A competitive strategist. You have built compete programs and turn competitor analysis and win/loss data into positioning the field trusts. You know the difference between a feature comparison and a structural advantage.
• Experienced in technology alliance marketing. You have built better-together narratives, joint launches, and enablement with strategic technology partners, and understand marketplace, co-sell, and integration GTM motions.
• Fluent in the cybersecurity buyer. You know how security leaders evaluate and buy, and how to help alliance partners have that conversation on Obsidian's behalf.
• Strategic, hands-on, and collaborative. You see the big picture but are comfortable writing, building, and shipping the work yourself, and you align alliances, sales, product, and engineering without owning all the decisions.
