What You'll Do: The Product Marketing Specialist is an early-career marketing professional who serves as the primary internal resource supporting the Product Marketing function within the Marketing & Communications organization. Reporting directly to the Vice President of Marketing & Communications and Head of Product Marketing, who is responsible for the company's Product Marketing strategy, positioning, messaging, and sales enablement, this role helps transform technical capabilities into compelling customer-focused messaging, sales enablement materials, and product marketing assets that support business growth. This role offers a unique opportunity to work directly with the executive responsible for Product Marketing, providing hands-on mentorship and experience across every stage of the product marketing lifecycle—from market understanding and positioning to messaging, sales enablement, go-to-market planning, and product launch support. As the primary internal resource dedicated to product marketing development and sales enablement, the Product Marketing Specialist works closely with the Vice President, Product Management, Business Development, and technical subject matter experts to develop product messaging, customer-facing collateral, executive presentations, and other marketing assets that clearly communicate the value of SES Space & Defense solutions to government and defense customers. The Product Marketing Specialist also partners closely with the company's project-based creative agencies, translating product marketing strategy into creative requirements while ensuring agency-developed deliverables align with approved messaging, positioning, and SES corporate brand standards, including typography, templates, icons, visual elements, and design guidelines. While this role contributes to the development of presentations and marketing assets, it works within established brand standards and collaborates with agency designers rather than creating new brand concepts or visual identities. This role is designed for an ambitious marketing professional seeking to build a career in Product Marketing while working directly with senior marketing leadership and gaining experience in product positioning, messaging, sales enablement, go-to-market planning, and agency collaboration.
