About Privateer 🌴👩🏻‍🚀🌴 and Orbital Insight 🛰️🌎📈💡

Founded by Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, tech entrepreneur Alex Fielding, and UT Austin Professor Dr. Moriba Jah, Privateer integrates data sources from sea to space to extract meaningful, actionable insights for our customers.

Our technology enables problem-solvers to understand the present, anticipate the future, and make smarter decisions in the face of complex challenges.

About the Role 👩‍💼🧑‍💼👨‍💼

As a member of the marketing team, you’ll work closely with our business development, product, engineering, design, and leadership teams to optimize our product positioning and messaging. Your blend of strategic mindset, technology expertise, and superior communication skills will help us package our products and drive revenue across government and commercial customers. 

In this critical role, you will ensure the entire Privateer team shares a clear and cohesive product narrative, and you’ll spearhead our internal processes for creating and maintaining all the assets and resources necessary to communicate our value to customers.

Responsibilities

• 📈 Understand the market. You know the industry and are adept at positioning products, continuously leveraging market feedback to iterate on messaging.
• 🧠 Understand the product. While you may not have deep expertise in every area, you have an understanding of Earth Observation/geospatial intelligence technologies and their derivative applications.
• 🌉 Be the bridge. You speak “sales”, you speak “product”, AND you speak “customer” (both government and commercial)...plus you know when to speak each.
• 🛤️Keep it on the rails. You’re a pro at managing big, complex projects that involve communicating across a variety of stakeholders, prioritizing requests, managing resources, and setting/articulating timelines.
• ⭐️ Make it shine. You’re not necessarily a graphic designer or copywriter by trade, but you’ve mastered the art of setting direction on the language and visuals needed to communicate product offerings in a simple, compelling, and differentiated way. Then you’ll bring it to life across websites, social, email, and more.

Professional Requirements 💼

• 6+ years in a product marketing role, working with data and analytics products, cloud-based platforms, and API-based enablement solutions
• Strong business thinker and problem-solver, ability to constantly navigate the needs of internal and external stakeholders
• Proven experience managing cross-functional projects and collaborating with diverse stakeholders, including internal team members and third-party vendors
• Top-notch communication and presentation skills - this includes effective verbal communication in meetings, as well as developing presentation materials
• Superb time management, judgment, decision-making, and problem-solving skills
• US Green card holder or US Citizen
