You will define what we say about our products and why it matters to the mission. That means getting deep into the technology, understanding how operators actually use it, and distilling it all into messaging that's sharp, accurate, and memorable.

• Arm growth and business development teams with the positioning, proof points, and competitive context they need to win programs
• Maintain customer and competitive intelligence on the defense autonomy landscape to inform positioning and product strategy
• Partner with engineering teams to turn technical milestones and roadmap developments into market-facing proof points
• Support events, demos, and campaigns with product messaging and subject-matter input

• 4–6 years of experience in product marketing, ideally within defense technology, robotics, autonomy, or another deeply technical B2B domain
• Proven ability to distill complex technical systems into clear, compelling messaging for non-engineering audiences
• Experience planning and executing product launches
• Exceptional writing skills across formats, from messaging frameworks to sales collateral
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work cross-functionally with product, engineering, and marketing teams

• Comfort operating in fast-moving environments where priorities evolve and speed matters

At Forterra, you'll have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology with the potential to transform defense operations and protect lives. You'll join a team that values curiosity, urgency, and collaboration, and you'll play a critical role in shaping the future of autonomy in national security.
