  • Build and maintain market narrative and positioning through customer research and persona development
  • Analyze sales calls, customer feedback, and product usage data to continuously improve messaging and GTM strategy
  • In your first 30 days — sit in on every sales call, audit all existing marketing materials, and shadow the Director of Marketing
