Overview

Veriforce is seeking a hands-on, strategic Director of Product Marketing to lead and scale our global product marketing efforts across the US, Canada, and the UK. This is a player-coach role. While you’ll be building and leading the function, you’ll also be the primary product marketer for key regions until the full team is in place. You’ll be expected to operate both strategically and tactically — setting the vision, building frameworks, and owning execution when needed. We’re looking for someone who has built product marketing teams before, understands how to scale, and thrives in a high ownership environment. You’ll take immediate ownership of product marketing for the US and play a critical role in shaping how we operate globally. Team structure is evolving, and you’ll be central to helping assess talent, define regional support needs, and shape how we scale. If you’re energized by wearing multiple hats while building the foundation of a high-performing global function, this is the opportunity for you.
