We are looking for an experienced Senior Director of Platform Product Marketing to showcase this product leadership to customers, prospects, partners, investors, press, and analysts.
In addition to owning our release marketing strategy and operations, the Senior Director of Platform Product Marketing will own go-to-market strategy development and execution for new product lines, serve as marketing’s closest partner to the R&D organization, and share responsibility (with Product & Sales leadership) for achieving product goals around our product lines’ revenue and adoption.

- Partner with Segment PMM, Brand, and Communications teams to translate product-centric value propositions into corporate and segment-based messaging.
- Release marketing:
- Own release marketing from end to end — architecting a streamlined release marketing process, developing a release marketing strategy, leading strategic planning and execution of product launches and/or product-focused events in a way that maximizes market impact and adoption, and analyzing launch performance to identify opportunities for improvement.
- Collaborate closely with the Product team to deeply understand new features and updates, translating technical details into compelling marketing messages.
- Own the relationship with GTM Enablement, ensuring all our go-to-market teams can confidently sell and support our products.
- Manage the release marketing budget
- Go-to-market strategy for new products:
- Own the GTM strategy for new product lines, including ideal customer profiles, personas, buyer journey, messaging & positioning, use cases, competitive intelligence, and launch strategy.
- Support pricing & packaging for new products
- Full-funnel marketing:
- Support full-funnel marketing initiatives as a subject matter expert for product lines, from awareness and acquisition to retention and advocacy.
- Work closely with demand generation, campaigns, brand, and partner marketing teams on initiatives and assets to drive revenue and adoption for our product lines.

- Proven ability to build strong cross-functional relationships.
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
