Create high-impact enablement content and selling tools, and collaborate on playbooks that drive conversion at each stage of the funnel. - Build & Lead a High-Performing Team Manage and develop a team of product marketers focused on the Accountant & Partner segment. Drive clarity, focus, and cross-functional alignment while growing marketing craft. - Translate Market Insights Into Strategy & Execution Use customer research, market analysis, sales feedback, and performance data to inform GTM strategy. Move from insight to action quickly to keep programs aligned with business goals. - Measure, Learn, and Optimize Establish clear success metrics for partner engagement and B2B2C client growth.
