Content Development (Industry-Focused):

• Create high-quality vertical content including industry web pages, playbooks, presentations, whitepapers, customer stories, webinar content, and demand generation assets.
• Collaborate with campaign and content teams to package platform capabilities into compelling industry stories and use cases.

Field & Partner Enablement:

• Build targeted enablement assets-pitch decks, talk tracks, battlecards, objection handling, use-case briefs-tailored to each vertical to improve confidence and consistency when engaging vertical buyers.

Market Intelligence & Insights:

• Conduct ongoing research into vertical-specific regulations, competitive dynamics, trends, and customer needs.
• Translate insights into concrete recommendations for sales, marketing, and product teams.

• Communication Skills: Exceptional written and verbal communication; able to articulate compelling stories tailored to diverse audiences-customers, analysts, executives, partners, and sellers.
• Collaboration: Proven ability to influence and align cross-functional and cross-regional teams.
• Customer-Centric Mindset: Passion for understanding industry-specific customer problems and translating them into clear solution narratives.
