  • Equip sales teams with messaging, competitive insights, and training.
  • Support pipeline growth and retention through effective marketing assets and programs.

 

Develop Customer-Centered Messaging & Content

 

  • Translate market, customer, and product insights into clear, impactful messaging.
  • Create high-quality content that supports demand generation and thought leadership.
  • Ensure consistency and clarity of messaging across channels and teams.

  • Contribute to competitive intelligence and market insights.
  • Support field marketing efforts with adaptable, regionally relevant messaging.

 

What You’ll Need

 

  • 6–10 years of B2B product marketing experience (preferably in education or SaaS)
  • Experience owning or contributing to go-to-market strategy and execution.
  • Strong writing and storytelling skills, with the ability to translate complex ideas into clear, compelling messaging.
  • Experience creating sales enablement assets and supporting revenue teams.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Collaborative mindset with the ability to influence without authority.
  • Understanding of K–12 education landscape is a plus.
  • Bachelor’s degree required.
  • Travel approximately 3-4 times/year.

 

 What We’re Looking For

 

  • Deep knowledge of K–12 assessments and assessment-driven products.
  • Familiarity with K–12 professional learning offerings and educators’ needs.
  • Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution.
  • Brings a strong point of view while remaining open to feedback and iteration.
  • Outcome-oriented mindset with a focus on adoption, engagement, and revenue impact.
  • Proven ability to thrive in cross-functional environments and drive work forward through influence.

 

Salary range: $108 - $113K.
