Product Messaging and Positioning - Develop and iterate on a clear, compelling value proposition that connects with enterprise audiences including champions, economic buyers, implementation partners and internal audiences through value pillars, use cases and concrete ROI. Our message house (see current version) defines the core of our communications, collateral and GTM programs.

Sales and Partner Collateral - Work with internal content, design, sales enablement and marketing teams, as well as external customers and partners, to translate our product messaging and positioning into compelling sales and partner collateral including first meeting deck, data sheets, competitor battlecards, web copy and pages, pricing and packaging materials, internal and external Q&As, business value references and customer case studies. Support sales enablement and content teams to make collateral web-discoverable, current and easy-to-find.

Product Announcements and Launches - Collaborate closely with CEO, product, GTM teams, ecosystem partners and PR firms to drive awareness, adoption of our free offerings, and leads for our paid offerings through announcements and launches that showcase new value from our platform evidenced by the success and endorsement of customers and partners. Team with our founders and customer teams in briefing analysts, press, partners, key customers, the market and internal organizations, in both small and large groups, including webinars.

Acceleration of Enterprise New Logo Customer Journey - Partner with sales, sales enablement, sales engineering, marketing, product and GTM teams to identify and clear bottlenecks in our enterprise new logo journey across awareness, lead, first meeting, opportunity development, sales proposal and closing stages. Find patterns in questions, objections and disengagement to uncover root issues, and develop talking points, collateral and offers (e.g. white papers, workshops, architectural reviews) to increase conversions rates in our sales process.

Enterprise Customer and Ecosystem Listening Systems - Lead a cross-departmental initiative across sales, post-sales, support, community, and developer relations to share, discuss and analyze feedback from customers, partners and our ecosystem to drive iteration in our value proposition, product approach and GTM strategy, collateral and execution.

Market and Ecosystem Opportunity Review - From listening systems and customer, partner and ecosystem data and interactions, work with product, engineering and GTM organizations, as well as founders, to lay out market and ecosystem opportunities, including competitive and partnership dynamics, as an input to product strategy, planning, roadmapping, and pricing and packaging. At Mattermost, pricing and packaging is a collaborative initiative across product marketing, product, and sales organizations facilitated by our program management function with close involvement from founders and CEO.

Project Management and Cross-Departmental Collaboration - Ensure timely and effective delivery of product marketing collateral and projects to internal downstream stakeholders and keep their trust with advanced notification of timeline changes impacting their work and ensuring the right level of reviews and input are complete. Note: While by default, product marketing materials should not require approval or sign-off from other departments, it is product marketing’s responsibility to understand and assess key concerns so an effective decision can be made. For example, it’s okay to use terms that mean different things to different people, like “DevSecOps”, so long as the voicer feels heard, and in more controversial decisions there is ideally a one-line internal Q&A explaining the decision and guidance.

Special Projects and Evolving Needs - Product Marketing serves as a “general athlete” role and may be asked to own or participate in special projects as needs arise and as our business and organization evolves.

8-10+ years of strong hands-on experience in product marketing, sales, or product management experience in an enterprise technology business related to defense, government, DevSecOps, infrastructure, collaboration, open source/open core and/or developer tools.

3-5+ years supporting enterprise technology sales developing positioning, messaging and collateral, including first meeting decks, data sheets, battlecards, and objection handling and related materials.

Empathy for the unique needs of strict security organizations including defense, government, financial services, healthcare and/or technology enterprises with the ability to discuss custom compliance and data control needs and identify influencers and decision-makers in the technology procurement process across IT, security, finance, implementation and beneficiary organizations within an enterprise.

Outstanding writing, communication and influence skills with the ability to influence and flip executive decision makers though careful listening, cogent frames and compelling facts. The ideal candidate is adept at simplifying complex technical concepts into simple and impactful statements. Experience in copywriting, particularly at an agency, is a strong plus.

Collaborative leadership style working with peers across sales, marketing, product to bring in the right level of data and input, to make people feel heard and to align the company on key product marketing decisions with support from founders and CEO.

Strong sense of self-awareness, ownership and continuous improvement with the ability to articulate what’s going well and not going well on projects and decide on impactful next actions, and share out status to earn trust among stakeholders.

Excellence as a project manager and leader ensuring work and decisions are delivered on time and downstream stakeholders aren’t blocked. This includes management of vendors and internal staff with clear expectations, effective oversight and reliable, high quality results.
