- Partner closely with Product Marketing to ensure strong product narratives, use-case alignment, and clear messaging for different buyer personas.
- Act as the "voice of the customer" to Product and Engineering, providing structured feedback to influence the roadmap and competitive positioning.
- Collaborate with Customer Success and Sales to ensure smooth handoffs from sale to implementation, adoption, and long-term value realization (pre- and post-sales 'pod' environments).
- Drive enablement across the GTM organization, improving how demos are run and ensuring sellers understand how to position value, not just features.
What You Bring:
