Role Description

You’ll use that knowledge to shape the strategies and tactics that deliver the most value to customers. You will guide go-to-market strategy and activities for new features, sharpen the product narrative against alternatives, and create compelling content for internal and external activations. This is a highly collaborative role with meaningful impact at the intersection of Marketing, Product, Sales, and Account Management while being a trusted voice on where we stand in the market and why we win.
