We are seeking a strategic, hands-on Director of Product Marketing to build and scale a high-impact product marketing function that directly supports revenue growth, sales enablement, and go-to-market alignment.

• Act as the marketing lead in cross-functional go-to-market initiatives with Sales, Product, Operations, and Customer Success

Sales Enablement

• Build and contribute to scalable sales enablement programs that improve sales readiness, win rates, and deal velocity

Hybrid Cloud Story Development

• Collaborate with Product and Solution Architects to translate technical capabilities into differentiated, outcome-focused narratives
• Enable field teams to clearly articulate the hybrid cloud value proposition across buyer personas

Customer and Market Alignment

• Lead persona and segment research to deepen understanding of buying triggers, challenges, and decision criteria in target industries
• Use customer data, win/loss insights, and market analysis to continuously refine positioning and messaging
• Build a systematic approach to gathering customer insights, market trends, and competitive intelligence
• Translate market data into actionable recommendations for Product, Sales, and Marketing
