We need a Product Marketing Lead who can clearly articulate our unique value and empower our teams to connect with ideal customers.
This role isn't just about understanding our services; it's about deeply understanding the nuanced challenges of the US Federal Government and positioning Rise8's services and capabilities as the essential solution for achieving "critical outcomes in prod".

- Articulate how Rise8 helps government entities achieve "critical outcomes in production" through our unique technical expertise and approach to achieving continuous delivery.
- Collaborate closely with the Content Director and Sr. Marketing Programs Manager to translate core messaging into engaging content and sales enablement materials (e.g., case studies, one-pagers, presentations, website copy, thought leadership pieces, video assets).

- Continuously monitor the competitive landscape within GovTech, particularly against other digital services firms and identify opportunities to evolve messaging to remain differentiated.
- Work with the Director of Marketing to establish relevant KPIs and analyze marketing performance data to inform strategic adjustments and optimize future product marketing efforts.
Qualifications
- 10+ years of progressive marketing experience, with a strong focus on services marketing for a professional services focused company, ideally within the B2G or US Federal Government sector, specifically in technology or GovTech.

- Proven track record of defining and executing go-to-market strategies for services or solutions.
- Deep understanding of the US Federal Government procurement process and buyer's journey to align sales enablement assets to each phase.
- Experience in developing compelling messaging and content that resonates with diverse government personas (e.g., military vs. civilian, technical vs. acquisition).
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret market data and campaign performance to drive strategic decisions.
