About our team…

Rapid7’s Product Marketing team is responsible for leading go-to-market strategy and execution for our portfolio of products and services.

Reporting directly to the Director of Product Marketing for Emerging Products, this role serves two primary functions: market analysis & testing, and the development and execution of go-to-market strategy for newly developed and acquired technologies.
