VP Marketing

Help new products find their first customers in the US, and teach our systems how you do it.

Daemon Ventures is a US technology company that builds and runs internet businesses with a very small team and heavy use of AI. We are looking for a growth lead who has personally taken products from zero to their first paying customers in the US market.

What you'll do

- Review how each new business goes to market: the plan, the actual ads, landing pages, emails and sign-up flow, and the numbers that come back. Say clearly what to change, and why.

- Diagnose. When a number is bad, work out whether the problem is the audience, the offer, the page or the channel, and what to try next.

- Turn what works into repeatable playbooks, so every future launch starts from what the last one learned.

- Bring in specialists (search, outbound, paid social, communities, marketplaces) when a problem needs deep craft, and judge their work.

Who you are

- Senior and hands-on. 6–10 years in growth or marketing, at least 3 of them personally acquiring US customers for a software product, an app or an online business. You ran the channels yourself, not only through agencies or a team.

- Taken a product from near zero to real US traction, with numbers you can show.

- A diagnostician. You can read a funnel and find the leak, and you think in experiments. You read results honestly, including when the answer is "this channel doesn't work for this product."

- A clear writer. You explain your reasoning so that others can act on it.

- Energized by working alongside AI. Most execution here is automated; your judgment is what makes it better.

Details

- Full-time and remote within India, engaged as an independent contractor.

- ₹45–55 LPA based on experience, plus equity.

- Process:

1. A short application with a 20-minute exercise.
2. A conversation with the founder.
3. A second conversation.

To apply: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdB-KJIUnkbNbXWCdqJmTEFGbHglT5_2wqIcsVPN_QKaQTG1A/viewform

The application includes the exercise. Please don't send a CV alone.

CraftMyPlate is a Hyderabad-based platform for micro-events: house parties, birthdays, office celebrations, and small gatherings. One thing hasn't changed since day one. Every order comes from someone making a specific, personal decision: this occasion, this many people, this budget, this date. We win by understanding that decision better than anyone else does.

We are now investing in the systems (data, growth, and eventually AI-driven automation) that let us make that same quality of decision at scale, without needing to grow headcount just to keep up. That investment is partly backed by funding we recently brought in, but the funding is not the story. It simply means we can now hire someone senior enough to own this problem properly, instead of solving it in pieces.

If you join now, you are not joining a company that has already figured everything out and just needs someone to run the machine. You are joining at the point where the machine is still being designed. What you build in the next year will still be the foundation two years from now.

About the Role

We are hiring a Growth Lead to own two things at once: how many people know about us, and how much revenue that awareness turns into. Not one or the other. Both, as a single connected number.

Here is what makes this role different from most growth roles you have seen: the infrastructure is already built. Tracking, attribution, and engagement systems are already in place and working. Our content and performance teams already execute well within the current playbook. You are not being hired to set any of that up. You are being hired to direct it and extract return from it.

That means your job is judgment, not motion. You decide which channels get more budget and which get cut. You decide what message goes to which segment. You decide what "working" means, and you prove it with numbers, not activity. The team executes. You are accountable for the return.

We need someone who has done this before, at a company where marketing spend had to answer to revenue, not just to reach. Someone who can point to a previous role and say plainly: this is what we spent, this is what we made back, and this is what I specifically changed to move that number.

What "Good" Looks Like (Market Standard)

This is not a vague "be strategic" ask. In most growth-stage consumer companies, a Growth Lead's performance is judged against a small set of hard numbers. We expect the same here:

• Return on ad spend (ROAS) or marketing efficiency ratio (MER) improving quarter over quarter across paid channels, not just held flat
• CAC to LTV ratio healthy enough to support scaling spend, not just acquiring volume (a commonly cited industry bar is a ratio meaningfully above 1:3, CAC to LTV)
• CAC payback period short enough that growth doesn't starve cash flow
• Blended revenue attributable to marketing-led channels, tracked and defended, not assumed
• A steady pace of new channel or approach tests per quarter, with a clear kill or scale decision made on each one, not experiments left to run forever without a verdict

If these terms are unfamiliar to you or you have never been held to them, this is probably not the right role yet. If you already think in these terms by habit, this role gives you the platform to prove it at a larger scale.

What You'll Own

• Awareness and reach across channels: Grow how many of the right people know about us, across paid, organic, and content channels, without confusing reach for revenue
• Revenue and ROI: Own the return on every rupee spent across channels. You inherit working tracking systems (CleverTap, AppsFlyer, Mixpanel); your job is to use them to make better spend decisions, not to build or maintain them
• Segmentation strategy: Build and keep refining how we segment customers by occasion type, guest count, budget band, and lead time to event. Turn that into distinct messaging and targeting for each segment, not one-size-fits-all campaigns
• Growth and channel scaling: Identify, test, and scale marketing channels and approaches beyond what we currently run, with a clear view of what each one returns
• Team direction: Directly lead our content and performance marketing team. You set the direction and the bar. They execute against it. You are not doing their job for them, and you are not letting them run without direction either
• Reporting: Give the founders and CMO clear, ROI-level visibility. What is working, what isn't, what you are cutting, and what you are doubling down on, and why

Required Skills & Background

• A proven, quantifiable track record of improving marketing ROI at a previous company, across more than one channel, not just optimizing a single ad account. Able to state clearly what the return was before, what it became, and what they specifically did to move it.
• 5 to 8 years in marketing, with real time spent owning revenue and channel-level ROI, not just campaign execution
• Experience running and defending a multi-channel budget: knowing when to shift spend between awareness and performance channels based on what the numbers say
• Strong quantitative fluency. Comfortable reading cohort, retention, and attribution data (from tools like CleverTap, AppsFlyer, and Mixpanel) and turning it into a spend or strategy decision, without needing to build the pipelines themselves
• Demonstrated experience building segmentation-led marketing strategy. Able to show, concretely, how they tailored messaging to distinct customer segments in a past role
• Experience managing a team (content and/or performance). This role leads people, not just plans
• Tier-1 educational background (top B-school, or a top engineering institute with demonstrated growth ownership). Exceptions made for candidates with a clearly exceptional track record
• Consumer internet, D2C, e-commerce, or marketplace background strongly preferred. Extra credit for a business with real customer-segment diversity, not a single-SKU product

Good to Have

• Experience marketing a business where the customer's decision changes a lot by occasion, timing, or budget (events, travel, gifting, weddings)
• Experience balancing brand/awareness spend against direct-response spend, and defending that split with numbers
• Prior experience at an early-stage startup where they built the growth function rather than inheriting one
• Hands-on comfort reviewing ad creative and content briefs, even if they are not writing them personally

What We Offer

• Direct ownership of the marketing function, reporting to the founders and CMO
• Working infrastructure from day one: tracking, attribution, and engagement systems are already built, so you spend your time on strategy and ROI, not setup
• Competitive pay, with ESOP and ownership options so your upside grows with the company's
• A team that already executes well. Your job is to point it in the right direction, not build it from zero
• Real accountability: revenue and ROI, not vanity metrics
• Fast growth and more scope as the company scales

Growth Marketing Manager — Enterprise

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are an enterprise AI company selling to large, regulated businesses with long sales cycles and multi-person buying committees. Marketing here runs on named accounts rather than broad campaigns, and every claim we make carries a number behind it.

This role owns the execution engine underneath that: demand generation, the marketing technology stack, performance marketing, search and answer-engine visibility, developer and customer marketing, and the reporting that proves any of it worked. It is a hands-on role in a small team — you build these systems yourself.

WHAT YOU WILL DO?

• Demand generation inside account plays. Build and ship the landing pages, sequences, personalised outreach and targeted social that account-based plays require, against a single list shared with sales.
• Own the martech stack end to end. CMS and hosting, GA4 and Tag Manager, CRM and marketing automation, attribution, SEO tooling and dashboards — selection, configuration, integration, access and cost.
• Website operations and technical SEO. Site and landing page builds, architecture, structured data, redirects, page speed, indexation.
• SEO and AEO. Own organic visibility, and build the tracking for how often we appear in AI-generated answers to buyer questions. This part has no established playbook.
• Performance marketing. Paid social to named buying-committee roles, retargeting and paid search — small budgets, tight tests, honest reporting.
• Developer marketing. Run the developer-facing surface with engineering — documentation and sandbox operations, sample repositories, technical content programming, developer events and hackathon presence, and adoption measurement.
• Customer marketing. Own the reference programme with sales — case studies, verified reviews on marketplaces andreview platforms, logo permissions, advocacy and reference calls.
• Events and community. Executive dinners, conferences, sponsorships and an invitation-only practitioner circle — logistics, follow-up and attributed pipeline.
• Reporting. One dashboard, one source of truth, reported weekly on pipeline influenced and accounts moved rather than lead volume.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR?

• 3–4 years in growth marketing, demand generation or marketing operations. Early-stage startup experience strongly preferred someone who has built a function, not inherited one that already ran.
• Hands-on across a modern martech stack — you have configured analytics and tag management, built automation workflows and shipped CMS pages yourself. We care that you have wired tools together, not which brands you used.
• Real technical SEO ability — audits, structured data, internal linking, redirect strategy, and confident use of crawl and keyword tools.
• Performance marketing you ran personally, with a view on what small B2B budgets can and cannot buy.
• Strong with spreadsheets, dashboards and light no-code automation. SQL is a bonus, not a filter.
• Comfortable with technical audiences and with customers — you can brief engineers on developer content, and ask a live customer for a case study or a review without flinching.
• Clear written English, and the judgement to start from context rather than a brief.
• Willing to be measured on pipeline influenced.

BONUS POINTS

• B2B enterprise or regulated-industry experience
• Account-based marketing
• Developer marketing or technical community work
• An informed opinion on how large language models surface brands
• Enough HTML and CSS to unblock yourself
• Exposure to both Indian and international markets.
• Apply with a page you shipped end to end, a dashboard you built, and one campaign that did not work and what you changed because of it.

Starbond is a growing direct-to-consumer brand focused on delivering high-quality products and an excellent customer experience. We are looking for a hands-on Marketing Manager who can turn data, customer insights, and strong execution into profitable growth.

About the Role

The Marketing Manager will own Starbond’s direct-to-consumer growth engine across paid acquisition, retention, lifecycle marketing, content, SEO, answer engine optimization (AEO), social media, conversion optimization, and agency performance. This role requires a strong command of unit economics—including customer lifetime value (LTV), customer acquisition cost (CAC), CAC payback period, gross margin, and contribution margin—and the ability to convert these metrics into sound growth decisions.

You will directly manage marketing agencies across Meta, Google, email, and AEO while leading the internal Marketing team, setting clear performance standards, and giving the CEO timely visibility into results, risks, and recommended actions.

Key Responsibilities

DTC Growth and Customer Acquisition

• Analyze LTV and retention by acquisition source, product, cohort, and customer segment, and use the findings to improve channel and offer decisions.
• Lead strategies that improve repeat purchase rate, purchase frequency, average order value, cross-sell, replenishment, retention, and win-back performance.
• Oversee email and lifecycle marketing quality, segmentation, deliverability, revenue contribution, and customer communication accuracy.

Paid Advertising and Conversion

• Oversee paid media strategy, budget pacing, campaign structure, audience strategy, creative testing, attribution, and landing-page performance.
• Establish clear testing, scaling, optimization, and stop-loss rules, and require decisions to be supported by sufficient data and financial context.

• Partner with the Web Developer on Shopify priorities, site performance, conversion rate optimization, tracking, and quality assurance.

Agency and Vendor Management

• Directly manage marketing agencies across Meta, Google, email, and AEO, including scopes of work, deliverables, timelines, communication standards, SLAs, KPIs, reporting, ownership, and escalation procedures.
• Use agency scorecards and recurring performance reviews to track KPI attainment, SLA compliance, output quality, timeliness, efficiency, and business results.
• Require root-cause analysis and time-bound corrective action plans for missed targets, SLA breaches, quality issues, reporting gaps, or inefficient spend.
• Independently validate agency recommendations and recommend contract expansion, renegotiation, reduction, replacement, or termination when appropriate.
• Ensure Starbond retains access to and ownership of advertising accounts, data, dashboards, creative files, documentation, and intellectual property.

Content, Creative, and Brand

• Maintain an active content and creative pipeline supported by clear briefs, owners, deadlines, QA standards, and success metrics.
• Ensure reliable content-production support is available when external resources are required.
• Create a structured process for testing creative concepts, hooks, formats, messages, offers, and calls to action.
• Protect product positioning and perceived value by avoiding excessive reliance on discounting and ensuring marketing claims are accurate and supportable.
• Ensure approved assets are properly named, organized, and stored in company-owned systems.

Team Leadership, Process, and Reporting

• Lead the internal Marketing team by setting clear responsibilities, deadlines, quality standards, KPIs, communication expectations, and individual performance targets.
• Conduct regular coaching, one-on-ones, performance reviews, and accountability conversations; identify skill gaps and coordinate development or corrective action with HR.
• Make timely recommendations regarding training, role clarity, workload changes, reassignment, or other performance actions when standards are not met.
• Create and maintain marketing processes, approval flows, reporting definitions, campaign documentation, and quality-control systems.
• Maintain a weekly marketing scorecard that distinguishes leading and lagging indicators and explains what changed, why it changed, and what action is required.
• Proactively escalate material risks and present concise, financially grounded recommendations to the CEO.

What Success Looks Like

• Marketing data, forecasts, campaign reports, creative briefs, and recommendations are accurate, validated, and financially grounded.
• Campaigns, agency deliverables, reports, corrective actions, and launches are completed on time, with blockers escalated early.CAC, LTV, LTV:CAC, MER, ROAS, contribution margin, retention, and cohort performance are consistently defined and used to guide decisions.
• Marketing investment produces profitable customer growth, stronger retention, faster learning, higher-quality execution, and stronger brand protection.
• The Marketing team and external agencies operate with clear ownership, measurable standards, and consistent accountability.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience leading DTC or e-commerce marketing across paid acquisition, retention, lifecycle marketing, content, and conversion optimization.
• Strong working knowledge of CAC, LTV, LTV:CAC, MER, ROAS, contribution margin, retention, cohort analysis, and marketing attribution.
• Experience managing Meta Ads, Google Ads, email marketing, SEO, AEO, Shopify, and agency partners.
• Demonstrated ability to manage budgets and make channel decisions based on profitability and customer quality.
• Experience leading and developing marketing team members, setting KPIs, and managing performance.
• Strong analytical judgment with the ability to challenge assumptions, validate agency recommendations, and translate data into clear actions.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with a proactive and concise reporting style.
• Highly organized, accountable, and comfortable working in a remote, fast-moving environment.

About the Role

Antier Solutions is looking for a mature, highly capable, and comprehensive Marketing Manager to lead our global marketing department.

In this role, you will act as the anchor and orchestrator for our entire marketing ecosystem. You will be directly responsible for managing, mentoring, and scaling a diverse in-house team of Content Writers, Social Media Marketers (SMM), Performance Marketers (PPC), Community Managers, and SEO Specialists.

We need a leader who can take broad business goals from the leadership team and translate them into actionable, high-yielding marketing campaigns. The ideal candidate must possess the unique ability to manage both creative minds (Writers/Designers) and data-driven analytical profiles (PPC/SEO), aligning them to drive predictable inbound leads.

Prior experience in high-performance IT services or B2B tech companies is highly preferred.

Key Responsibilities

1. Team Leadership, Workflows & Resource Management

Cross-Functional Alignment: Oversee the daily operations of all marketing sub-departments (Content, SMM, PPC, SEO, and Community). Break down departmental silos to ensure smooth, agile collaboration.

Process Standardization: Design and enforce structured workflows using internal project management tools. Establish clear KPIs, content delivery calendars, and campaign turnaround timelines (SLAs).

Resource Optimization: Manage internal team bandwidth effectively. Balance the workload of writers and designers to ensure high-quality output without execution bottlenecks.

2. End-to-End Inbound Strategy & Lead Generation

Campaign Architecture: Design, execute, and monitor comprehensive multi-channel inbound marketing strategies tailored for global enterprise clients (B2B).

Funnel Optimization: Take ownership of the marketing automation tech stack to build lead-scoring models, behavioral email nurturing, and landing page optimization.

Paid & Organic Balance: Supervise paid acquisition strategies (Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads, Meta Ads) managed by the PPC team, ensuring they complement the long-term organic growth driven by the SEO and Content teams.

3. Core Marketing Operations (Budgeting & Analysis)

Budget ROI Allocation: Plan, allocate, and manage the monthly and quarterly marketing budget across paid ads, software tools, and external resources, ensuring minimum leakage and maximum ROI.

Competitor & Market Intelligence: Conduct ongoing competitor mapping and trend analysis in the tech service sector to keep Antier's positioning ahead of the market.

Vendor & Agency Management: Evaluate and manage relationships with external vendors, freelance creators, or PR agencies when scaling requires outsourcing.

4. Brand Governance & Community Advocacy

Unified Brand Voice: Act as the ultimate gatekeeper for Antier's global brand identity. Ensure that everything-from a 2-line tweet by SMM to a 2000-word whitepaper by the content team-maintains absolute professional consistency.

Community Engagement: Guide the Community Managers to design retention and engagement strategies that turn users/followers into active brand advocates.

5. Analytics & Leadership Reporting

Data Consolidation: Build and maintain unified tracking dashboards (using GA4, CRM data, and platform metrics) to get a clear picture of marketing performance.

Executive Reviews: Present deeply analytical weekly and monthly reports to the Management, focusing on metrics like Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC), pipeline velocity, and conversion rates.

Tech Innovation & AI Automation

While this is a core team-leadership and strategic role, the candidate must have a sharp eye for modern tech depth. The ideal candidate should have hands-on experience or deep workflow knowledge of AI automation via AI Agents to eliminate and automate repetitive tasks across marketing functions. This includes leveraging technology to optimize the writing team's research speed, scaling creative asset variations for SMM/PPC, running automated report compilation, and setting up automated conversational bots to triage inbound traffic within our community channels effectively.

Required Profile & Core Competencies

Experience Matrix: 8-12 years in B2B/IT Services or SaaS marketing, showing a clear career progression from an execution specialist to a Manager.

Domain Fluency: Must be able to speak the language of all sub-departments fluently. You should be able to critique ad copies with writers, discuss CPA/Quality Scores with PPC, analyze Core Web Vitals with SEO, and review engagement strategies with Community Managers.

Problem-Solving & Crisis Management: Ability to handle sudden dips in traffic/leads or manage PR/social media crises with calm, structured communication.

Tools Knowledge: Advanced proficiency with CRM & Automation hubs (HubSpot/Marketo), Analytics (GA4/Google Search Console), and collaboration tools.

Soft Skills: High emotional intelligence (EQ), leadership capability to manage diverse creative/technical teams, and exceptional written and verbal English communication.

Good to Have

• Experience in HR-tech, insurtech, payroll, or workforce management.
• Exposure to Account-Based Marketing (ABM) email strategies.

• Prior experience managing or mentoring a small marketing team.

Why This Role

• Own a high-impact function with a direct line to pipeline and revenue.

A BIT ABOUT US

Appknox is a leading AI-native mobile application security platform trusted by enterprises around the world. Recognized by Gartner and G2, Appknox helps organizations secure mobile applications throughout their lifecycle through automated security testing, continuous monitoring, and actionable intelligence.

Headquartered in Singapore with engineering based in Bengaluru, Appknox serves customers across North America, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Japan, and India. Our customers include Fortune 500 companies, governments, financial institutions, and digital-first enterprises that rely on Appknox to secure their mobile ecosystem.

We are a profitable, fast-growing B2B SaaS company with a highly collaborative culture and ambitious plans to shape the future of application security in the AI era.

About The Role

Application security is undergoing a fundamental shift. AI is changing how software gets built, how vulnerabilities emerge, how security teams investigate and prioritise risk, and how enterprise buyers discover and evaluate security platforms.

Appknox has spent more than a decade building deep expertise in mobile application security. Our next chapter requires us to evolve both what Appknox stands for and how effectively we take that story to market.

We are looking for a hands-on Lead for GTM Marketing to translate Appknox’s product, positioning and business priorities into integrated go-to-market programmes that create awareness, engagement and pipeline.

You will lead the GTM marketing team and own demand generation, campaigns, ABM, website and conversion, organic discovery, content activation, field marketing and events. You will work as a peer to Product Marketing, partnering closely with Sales, Product and leadership to connect market strategy with disciplined execution.

This is not a role for someone who only manages agencies, runs isolated campaigns or waits to receive briefs. You will help determine where marketing should focus, challenge assumptions, build the operating plan, develop the team and remain close enough to execution to maintain a high quality bar.

What You Will Own

1. GTM strategy 

Translate Appknox’s product, positioning and revenue priorities into a focused GTM strategy, operating plan and measurable goals.

For each significant opportunity, help answer:

Who are we trying to influence? What problem matters to them? What do we want them to believe? What should we take to market? Through which channels? What commercial outcome should it create?

You will:

• Lead and develop the GTM marketing team, creating clarity around priorities, ownership, quality and performance.
• Build quarterly and annual GTM plans aligned with company, product and regional revenue priorities.
• Prioritise across markets, audiences, channels and opportunities rather than allowing every request to become a campaign.
• Manage relevant budgets, agencies and specialist partners.
• Establish clear operating rhythms across GTM Marketing, Product Marketing, Sales and Product.

2. Demand Generation and Integrated Campaigns

Build integrated programmes that create qualified demand and contribute meaningfully to pipeline.

You will:

• Own marketing-sourced and marketing-influenced pipeline targets, measurement and review rhythms.
• Design programmes across inbound, paid, organic, content, webinars, retargeting and emerging acquisition channels.
• Connect campaigns to defined audiences, customer problems, offers, conversion paths and commercial outcomes.
• Diagnose funnel performance and work with Sales and revenue operations to improve conversion.
• Identify successful GTM plays that can be repeated and scaled.

Success will be measured through qualified engagement, opportunity creation and progression, pipeline contribution and conversion-not campaign activity alone.

3. Account-Based and Segment GTM

Partner with Sales and Product Marketing to build focused programmes for priority accounts, industries, personas and regions.

You will:

• Identify segments and accounts where focused marketing can create disproportionate impact.
• Understand buying committees, account-level triggers and market-specific context.
• Work with Product Marketing to develop relevant narratives by segment and buyer.
• Design integrated ABM programmes, offers, landing experiences and content.
• Coordinate marketing engagement with SDR and sales outreach.
• Track account engagement, opportunity creation and progression.

At Appknox, ABM should combine account insight, buying committee, customer problem, narrative, offer and sales motion-not simply apply advertising to an account list.

4. Website, Organic Discovery and Conversion

Transform Appknox.com into an active GTM and experimentation engine.

You will own or drive:

• Information architecture and messaging activation.
• Product, use-case, industry, persona, regional and competitive pages.
• Campaign landing experiences and conversion paths.
• Website experimentation and performance measurement.
• SEO and evolving AI-led discovery across platforms such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity.

You will develop a measurement system connecting discoverability, relevance, engagement, conversion and pipeline. Traffic, rankings and AI mentions alone are not success.

5. Product Launches and Market Activation

Partner with Product Marketing and Product to take new capabilities and products to market.

Product Marketing will lead customer insight, ICP definition, positioning, competitive differentiation and product narrative. You will lead GTM planning and activation across campaigns, website, content, distribution, organic discovery, sales activation, field programmes and amplification.

This is not a downstream handoff. You will participate in launch strategy, contribute market and performance insight, and help test whether the positioning works when exposed to buyers.

6. Content and Thought Leadership

Lead the GTM content agenda and the team responsible for bringing it to life.

You will:

• Determine what Appknox should talk about based on customer problems, market shifts, buyer demand and the company’s strategic point of view.
• Guide the development of category narratives, research-led content, technical thought leadership, competitive content, executive communications and campaign assets.
• Build content distribution into every major initiative rather than treating publication as the finish line.
• Maintain a consistently high standard of clarity, substance and differentiation.

Every significant content investment should answer: Who are we trying to influence? What belief are we trying to change? What should happen after they consume it?

7. Field Marketing and Events

Own the GTM strategy and marketing execution for priority industry events, executive programmes, regional activations and field initiatives.

You will:

• Select and prioritise events based on target audiences, market objectives and commercial potential.
• Build pre-event, onsite and post-event motions with Sales.
• Develop programmes that create meetings, progress target accounts and deepen customer and partner relationships.
• Establish consistent measurement for event-sourced and event-influenced pipeline.
• Balance global consistency with the realities of different regions and sales motions.

8. Market Intelligence and Experimentation

Work with Product Marketing to continuously monitor competitor positioning, market narratives, buyer behaviour, campaign signals, organic discovery and emerging security themes.

Product Marketing will lead the strategic implications for positioning and product. You will ensure relevant market and performance signals translate rapidly into GTM action.
