Overview of the Team  

You’ll translate portfolio strategy into market impact—owning positioning, pricing & packaging recommendations, launches, and enablement. You’ll directly manage a Product Marketing Manager, establishing operating rhythms and standards. You will partner closely with Product, Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and Partnerships to drive revenue, adoption, and expansion. 

Role Overview: 

You are the execution engine and people leader for Product Marketing. You’ll translate portfolio strategy into clear positioning, pricing & packaging recommendations, launch plans, and enablement that improve win rates, accelerate deal velocity, and drive adoption/expansion. You’ll build operating cadences, coach PMMs, and ensure IPC shows up with a differentiated narrative in every market we serve. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Manage and coach Product Marketing Manager; set goals, feedback cadences, and quality bars.
• Establish repeatable GTM processes (readiness gates, launch tiers, retros) and uphold operational rigor across regions.  
• Own positioning/messaging for key products, solutions, and personas; ensure crisp value articulation across the funnel.
• Build and maintain value frameworks, ICPs, buyer personas, and narrative architecture with the VP.  
• Develop engagement and operational model for the Voice of the Customer program to include a Product Advisory Council and other trader engagement initiatives to understand and objectively articulate the needs of the customer.
• Translate portfolio pricing & packaging strategy into market-ready offers, bundles, and guidance; partner with Product, Finance, and Sales to operationalize changes.  
• Lead tiered launches for products/features: define goals, success metrics, cross-functional plans, and post-launch optimization.
• Drive adoption and expansion programs with Customer Success and Partnerships.  
• Stand up a pragmatic insights engine (market sizing, trends, win/loss, competitive plays) and translate insights into roadmap input and field plays.  
• Equip global Sales/channel teams with playbooks, battlecards, demos, and training; measure content utilization and impact on win rates and sales cycle time.  
• Support thought leadership, case studies, and analyst interactions; cultivate customer references that reinforce our narrative 

How You Will Make an Impact:  

• Launch predictably: every Tier-1/Tier-2 launch hits readiness criteria, pipeline goals, and adoption targets.
• Elevate win rates and deal velocity through persona-led messaging and sharp enablement.
• Improve attach/expansion via pricing/packaging updates and lifecycle programs.
• Feed the roadmap with structured market, customer, and competitive insight.
• Predictable, well-orchestrated launches that meet pipeline and adoption targets.
• Improved win rates and faster deal cycles through targeted enablement.
• Measurable attach/expansion from pricing/packaging and lifecycle programs.
• A high-performing PMM (and future team) operating with clear standards and impact. 

Essential Skills and Experience to be Successful in this Role: 

• 8–10+ years in B2B Product Marketing (SaaS/fintech or enterprise tech) with 3+ years leading PMMs/teams.
• Track record shipping high-impact launches and driving measurable sales enablement outcomes.
• Experience operationalizing pricing/packaging and commercialization motions.
• Strong storytelling, writing, and executive-level communication skills; comfortable with technical content.
• Data fluency and proficiency with CRM/marketing automation and BI tools.
• Bachelor’s degree required 

Desired Skills and Experience: 

• Familiarity with capital-markets workflows and regulatory environments (e.g., MiFID II/ESMA, FINRA, FCA).
• Category design, analyst relations, and ABM experience; comfort presenting to C-suite/Board.
• Exposure to PLG/PQA signals; enablement platforms (e.g., Highspot/Seismic) and stacks (Salesforce, CPQ/CLM, Marketo/Eloqua).
• MBA or related advanced degree is a plus.
