About You

You learn like it's your job—because it is. You ask questions, and you don't settle for unsatisfying answers. When you come across a problem, you devise a solution, and then you start working on a back-up solution that anticipates future problems. You are obsessed with growth and building things while not being afraid to get your hands dirty. And you are a natural hustler with a contagious "can-do" attitude. You're comfortable collaborating with—and seeking out—everyone from graphic designers to data engineers, because you know that there's insight to be found everywhere. Above all, you're not afraid to take responsibility for guiding your projects from start to finish.  

This successful candidate will have:

• Demonstrable success in B2B product marketing (or similar transferable experience), preferably at an enterprise SaaS company
• Relevant industry experience (e.g. advertising technology, partner relationships, affiliate marketing)
• A strong leader with experience building and managing a strong team of marketers while also passionate about the team’s continuous learning, development and growth.
• Excellent written and presentation skills (public speaking skills strongly desired)
• Expert storyteller, skilled at crafting engaging presentations that distill complicated concepts into succinct and straightforward narratives
• Can quickly synthesize product features into understandable and compelling messaging
• Comfortable speaking to new prospects and existing clients directly
• The ability to prioritize, focus, and execute on goals
• Can start multiple projects at the same time and pursue them to show continued growth
• Strong analytical skills for analyzing products, competitors, and market dynamics
• Demonstrated passion for product marketing and articulating customer value
• A high degree of comfort interpreting results and communicating insights effectively
• A strong sense of ownership and entrepreneurial spirit
