• Lead cross-functional teams to create and execute marketing plans for announcements and new features, in collaboration with Product & Engineering.

Ideally you have:

• Proven experience in product marketing, particularly in early-stage and scaling tech environments.
• A technical background with the ability to effectively communicate technical concepts to diverse audiences, guiding written and visual communication strategists.
