About You
You are a seasoned marketing executive who combines the strategic sharpness of a growth-oriented business thinker with the hands-on instincts of a builder. You have led marketing organizations before and you know how to develop and inspire a team, manage a budget, and hold the function accountable to business outcomes. But you are equally at home in the details: crafting a compelling product narrative, sitting in a product roadmap session, evaluating a potential acquisition, or presenting a market expansion thesis to the executive team.
You understand that great marketing doesn't happen in isolation — it happens when brand, demand, product marketing, customer intelligence, and revenue strategy are all working from the same playbook. And you are the person who writes it, leads the team that executes it, and measures whether it's working.
You are intellectually curious, data-driven, and deeply motivated by the opportunity to shape the future direction of a company. You are a natural leader and collaborator who builds high-performing teams and strong cross-functional partnerships, operating effectively in a matrixed organization and building bridges rather than silos.
You are a good fit for the role of Head of Marketing if you have/are:
- Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Business, or a related field.
- 12+ years in Marketing, with a meaningful portion in senior or executive marketing roles, and strong SaaS experience.
- Demonstrated success leading and scaling a full marketing function, including team management, budget ownership, and cross-functional leadership.
- Deep expertise in product marketing, with a track record of owning positioning, messaging, and go-to-market strategy for complex B2B or enterprise solutions.
- Demonstrated experience contributing to growth strategy initiatives, including M&A evaluation, market entry, or strategic partnerships.
- Expertise in demand generation, brand strategy, and integrated marketing program development and measurement.
- Expertise in competitive intelligence, market research, and translating insights into executive-level recommendations.
- Experience owning or leading a formal Voice of the Customer program or equivalent customer insight function.
- Proven track record of managing end-to-end product launches and multi-channel go-to-market campaigns.
- Experience working in or with government and/or commercial compliance industries is strongly preferred.
- Executive-level communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to influence both internal stakeholders and external audiences.
- Proven leader who attracts, develops, and retains top marketing talent and fosters a high-performance team culture.
- Strategic thinker who can operate at the 30,000-foot level while also driving ground-level execution.
- Proven ability to build trust and credibility with product and technology teams, translating market needs into language that resonates with builders and engineers.
- Collaborative executive who builds strong cross-functional partnerships and knows how to operate effectively alongside peer leaders without creating overlap or confusion.
- Passionate about technology and motivated to stay ahead of industry, regulatory, and competitive trends.
- High degree of intellectual curiosity and business acumen, with the ability to connect market dynamics to business outcomes.
- Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. National Security Clearance.
