- Be a key enablement partner on our product and competitive differentiation, creating deliverables such as product overview decks, competitive battlecards, and messaging guides
- Work with the product team to inform and influence the product strategy and roadmap, based on market demand, competitor intelligence, and customer insights
What you bring
- 6+ years of B2B product marketing experience, with experience marketing a portfolio of software products
- Prior experience bringing new solutions to market as part of a B2B SaaS company

- Proven self-starter with a bias for action and can-do attitude to get things done and deliver positive business impact
