Requirements
  • 5-8+ years of experience in product marketing, growth marketing, growth, or similar roles
  • Interest in fintech, financial products and AI
  • 5 days a week in office (Menlo Park)
  • Bonus points if you've worked on deeply technical products and developer tools, or complex financial products.
Responsibilities
  • Be the voice of the customer: you will be a trusted authority on how our customers think, behave, and buy. In collaboration with GTM/Sales, you're expected to advocate for them daily and translate this into compelling positioning to solve their most critical problems. You will do extensive user and market research to inform this.
  • Refine and amplify Pylon's story: tell the story of a first-of-its-kind platform that will reshape how mortgage is done. We support customers who are building mortgage for the first time, as well as those switching to Pylon across multiple industry segments. Finding consistent ways to speak in their languages will be crucial.
  • Build an enterprise-grade brand: Trust is crucial in mortgage - the stakes are high for our customers and their borrowers. We must continuously show our customers and partners that they can trust Pylon to launch and scale with them.
  • Scale demand gen: develop and execute a demand generation strategy using primary account based marketing and a variety of channels including content marketing, SEO/SEM, email marketing, social media, events, and partnerships.
  • Help with PR and earned media: you will partner closely with comms resources to run high value launches that amplify the mission.
  • Events and out of home: you will run experiments for Pylon 'out in the wild' to drive brand awareness and support demand gen.
  • Own the tech stack: we don't have a rev ops team. You'll be expected to integrate and operate off the self technology, working with our engineering team as needed.
  • Build marketing and sales assets: create customer-facing assets that are polished, visually balanced, and consistent with Pylon’s brand guidelines.
