They are seeking a Director of Product Marketing to lead the development of product messaging, go-to-market strategies, and sales enablement as they introduce new education technology products.
Responsibilities
- Product Messaging & Positioning: You will own the product messaging framework for our product and service lines, including new solutions currently in development. This includes synthesizing customer, market and competitive insights, aligning messaging to map to customer needs and pain points, developing new messaging strategies, and working across teams to ensure this messaging consistently lands with both internal and external audiences. You’ll partner closely with our product and innovation teams to make this a success
- Product Go-to-Market: Once we have our product stories in place, we need to effectively land them in the market. You will own the product launch / GTM motion and execution for upcoming service and technology solutions that are currently in development. This includes serving as the primary accountability for a successful GTM rollout, and coordinating the overall schedule plus all planning and execution for the GTM motion across the company
- Sales Enablement & Readiness: As we’re bringing new solutions to market, and existing products and services to new prospects, it is critical that our sales and partner development teams are trained and equipped with the right evidence, collateral, insights, and tools to have productive customer conversations. You will partner with our Product, Innovation, RevOps and colleagues in Marketing to develop and execute a sustainable sales enablement strategy, including content creation where needed
- Evidence & Impact Engine: One of MCP’s greatest strengths is the depth of the research foundations behind our instructional model, and the real world results we’re seeing every day with educators, schools, and districts. You will build and lead this “engine” to ensure a continuous flow of this evidence - from research findings to case studies and testimonials - is delivered to our partner teams and marketing channels, while working with peers in marketing to ensure every impact story we tell supports our wider brand narrative
- Build the MCP Product Marketing Capability: Define what product marketing is at MCP, what role it plays, and how it collaborates with other teams across the organization and at our external strategic partners. This is an opportunity to apply everything you’ve learned and create something new
