Senior Product Marketing Manager
Jan 2021 - now
- As workstream lead, developed positioning and messaging for a data-security launch using buyer interviews and lost-deal notes; separated the buyer problem, differentiating claim, and proof needed to support it.
- With responsibility for the review standard, built sales enablement content around competitive objections and a working demo; reviewed field feedback after launch and rewrote claims that sellers could not substantiate in customer conversations.
- Tested positioning with sales calls and customer interviews, turned recurring objections into a launch brief, and checked whether enablement materials answered the buyer’s actual questions.
- Designed a messaging hierarchy for the go-to-market strategy using tested buyer questions, resolved competing claims and completed a sales brief with approved product evidence.
- Built a go-to-market strategy linking the ideal customer profile, priority use case and launch evidence; aligned demand generation and sales enablement around the same buyer problem and recorded which claims still needed a demonstration.
- Revised the messaging framework after reviewing first-call recordings, replaced unsupported competitive claims with demonstrable differences, and gave sales a discovery guide that separated technical evaluation from budget approval.
- Owned a positioning test using customer interviews and message variants, resolved conflicting product claims and completed the go-to-market brief with approved evidence.
- Published sales-enablement content using field objections, reduced repeated clarification requests by 25% and connected each demand-generation asset to a buyer question.

- Segmented feature education by role and maturity across 8 campaigns; aligned review standards and decision owners across the participating teams. Working with partner teams, kept adoption moving without creating new support or operating load.
- Audited campaign tracking before reporting results, reconciled duplicate conversions across channels, and explained how the attribution window limited the interpretation of return on spend.
- Compared campaign landing pages with the promise in each ad or content placement, corrected inconsistent offers and broken tracking links, and checked the conversion event from a new visitor’s session before resuming spend.
