Product Marketing Lead
About the role
As Workera’s newest Product Marketing Lead, your mission (should you accept) is to ensure our products "fly off the shelf."
Joining Workera at this pivotal stage, you’ll have the opportunity to shape how we position ourselves for growth and scale. You will be the 2nd member of our Product Marketing team, working closely with your leader to execute on the organizational goals. This role serves as the crucial link between product strategy and the sales and marketing tactics essential for success. While you might occasionally deliver demos or highlight product features, day to day you’ll serve as the glue that ties our product vision to actionable strategies, playing a critical role in driving successful product launches and sustaining sales momentum.
You’ll know what our competitors are doing today and anticipate what they’ll do tomorrow. But more importantly, you’ll know our buyers better than they know themselves—their pain points, decision-making processes, and motivations. This knowledge won’t come from guesswork but from market evidence, which you’ll use to craft compelling positioning and messaging. Your insights will empower our sales channels to engage buyers effectively and win deals.
About your team
As part of our marketing team, you’ll develop innovative programs to drive demand. Your success will depend on your attention to detail, ability to articulate our product’s value proposition clearly, and your knack for presenting how we solve our buyers’ problems in a way that resonates. You’re data-driven and results-oriented, tracking performance closely and adjusting tactics based on what’s working and what isn’t.
You’ll collaborate closely with Product Management, Sales, and other cross-functional teams. This role requires balancing competing priorities with strong diplomatic skills–we value discernment in our teammates. Your ability to foster collaboration and alignment across teams will be essential to achieving shared goals and driving go-to-market success. You will report to and work closely with our Director of Product Marketing, who empowers you to bring fresh and innovative thinking to the role and is committed to optimizing your strengths to help you grow and excel.
