We are seeking a senior, highly strategic Product Marketing leader to own naming, messaging, and product narrative across our portfolio. This is an individual contributor role for someone who combines strategic rigor with exceptional writing and storytelling skills, and who operates as a trusted partner to Product Marketing leadership.

This role is central to defining and operationalizing our end-to-end messaging framework — from platform narrative and customer pillars, through solutions and products, down to launches, sales motions, and copy used across customer touchpoints. While this role does not manage people, it carries broad ownership, executive visibility, and outsized influence across Product Marketing, Product Management, Corporate Marketing, and GTM teams.

• Establish clear connective tissue between high-level narrative and day-to-day execution.

Naming & Messaging Strategy

• Own naming strategy and governance for products, platforms, solutions, and capabilities, including frameworks, criteria, and decision processes.

Copywriting & Storytelling :

• Positioning statements and value propositions
• Messaging frameworks and guides
• Launch narratives and key messages
• Executive-level storytelling and talking points
• Foundational copy used across web, sales, and GTM assets
• Translate complex technical concepts into clear, compelling customer-centric language.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Collaborate with Corporate Marketing and Brand to ensure alignment between product messaging, brand narrative, campaigns, and thought leadership.
• Work with Sales, Enablement, and GTM teams to ensure messaging is usable, differentiated, and effective in the field.
