Job Summary

As VP Product Marketing, you will lead a team of highly experienced Product and Partner Marketing professionals. This key leadership position plays an important role in bridging the gap between sales, marketing, engineering, product management, industry, and business development. This role will develop and maintain detailed knowledge of all DataRobot products, will serve as the Product and Partner Marketing ambassador, and will work with each team member to develop a comprehensive go-to-market strategy for each product/partner to communicate details about our unique value in the rapidly-emerging artificial intelligence and machine learning market.

The role will guide the use of a persona-driven go-to-market framework, will develop and implement initiatives to reinforce and improve upon the structure and will ensure all deliverables are consistent with best practices and company need. In addition, the role will be responsible for developing an appropriate set of career goals for each team member, maximize teaming and collaboration, serve as a mentor, and promote and foster additional leadership skills of each team member. While each team member will be responsible for developing and maintaining cross-functional relationships for their assigned products and partners, the VP is expected to set the tone, build his or her own relationships and establish a culture of cross-functional cooperation.

• External release communication – create materials, including emails, newsletters, and blogs, that inform customers about the availability of new product releases, and educate them on how to get the most value from them.
• Internal release communication – ensure cross-departmental communication about product roadmap and strategy, and ensure everyone has a common understanding of emerging requirements.
• Release enablement materials – coordinate the development of sales tools that help employees and partners understand why new features were developed, how they work, and what new opportunities have been uncovered as a result.
