  • Translate messages into high-quality, market-facing materials (e.g., sales collateral) with strong value messaging and storytelling; oversee the completion of additional sales materials including external one-pagers and internal training materials.
  • Oversee and direct the completion of case studies and testimonials, ensuring they effectively convey how Appcast delivers customer bliss through optimal performance.
  • Lead the creation and ongoing updates of buyer personas and competitor matrices, collaborating with Strategy and Sales Enablement teams to ensure effective rollout and adoption.
  • As a senior leader in both product marketing and the marketing team more broadly, mentor and support the growth and development of staff across the marketing team, particularly in the areas of customer voice, product knowledge, and messaging alignment.
  • Own collateral development: Develop market-facing materials (e.g., PowerPoint decks) with strong value messaging and storytelling; create sales materials including external one-pagers and internal enablement & training materials.
  • Lead collateral asset lifecycle management: Across all forms of content, manage repositories of materials (Content Library, Mindtickle & SharePoint) and sunset content when required.
  • Drive strategic collaboration with internal stakeholders in Product, Platform, Strategy, and Sales to build deep product knowledge and leverage in marketing strategies and campaigns.
  • Manage relationships with internal and external design resources as well as subject matter experts.
  • Assess the effectiveness of product marketing programs, tools (G2), and technology (e.g., Mindtickle) that support Appcast’s GTM efforts on an ongoing basis.
  • Develop and maintain a deep, thorough understanding of our customers’ needs and challenges; play a key role in shaping and continuously refining detailed buyer personas; apply data-driven insights to guide strategic marketing decisions.
