You will:

• Build a deep understanding of our customers’ pains and needs, the market, lines of business, and the competition across all the regions in which Backbase does business.
• Create Go-To-Market strategies and plans for your area and work with stakeholders across the company to bring them to life (marketing, partners, sales, services, product).
• Define segmentation, use cases/scenarios, buyer personas, and value propositions and use them to build repeatable sales plays aligned to specific lines of business.
• Manage and create content to support Retail Banking & Wealth motions including whitepapers, solution briefs, presentations, customer success stories, blog posts, ebooks, webinars, and more.
• Partner with Sales Enablement to develop effective materials and tools to support the sales process.
• Work with the product team to uncover new markets, scenarios, and use cases, define new offers, and influence roadmap decisions.

• Watch competitive activities, identifying gaps and opportunities.

Who You Are

• Masters degree in IT, Business, or Marketing.
• 4+ years of experience in product marketing or a related area in multi-use case, B2B platforms and/or SaaS (E.g. Mambu, Adyen, Salesforce, Pega, Appian, Atlassian, OutSystems, Mendix, ServiceNow, etc).
• Experience in banking / financial services / fintech is a plus but not required.
• Native or native-level writing and presentation skills, as well as the ability to persuade, inspire, and motivate others.

Competencies/Skills

• Strategic Product Marketing: You excel in content creation, but your main strength is in creating differentiating positioning, messaging, and go-to-market strategies. You think strategically in terms of what segments and use cases to focus on to generate repeatable sales and increase the effectiveness of our marketing and sales engines. You have a keen eye to locate market trends and pockets of demand using market research, competitive analysis, and customer insights to develop strategies that position our products as leaders in the industry.
• Technology/Software Background: While you don’t need to have a technical background, you will need experience working with and writing about technical concepts. Our product is a complex banking platform, so you’ll need to be able to “talk the talk” with a minimal learning curve.
• Self-starter: Our Global GTM team is looking for individuals who can operate independently and drive initiatives forward.
