We’re looking for a whip-smart, strategic, collaborative, and highly empathetic product marketing and subject matter expert who has experience in the business spend management or procure-to-pay market. In this role, you’ll be a senior member on a talented product marketing team, serve as a critical player in enabling our global sales team, collaborate with your marketing counterparts and leaders from around the company to create strategies that fill our pipeline with the highest-probability opportunities, arm sales with awesome content and the right tactics to close business efficiently, and work cross-functionally to deliver programs that turn our customers into our biggest fans. You will work with the product marketing team to develop the industry’s most thoughtful positioning, head-turning messages, and evangelism that makes AppZen a must-have for CFOs and their teams.

You Will

Understand and be our resident expert on our product, roadmap, market, competitive landscape, and partner ecosystem

Create compelling and right-sized product packages and pricing

Help our company walk in our customers’ shoes by educating, advising, and serving as a sounding board to the sales, marketing, and customer success teams

Lead the creation of high-quality, “secret weapon” collateral, pitches, demos, and competitive content that help us put our best foot forward with prospects

Work with the entire marketing team to create fabulous thought leadership campaigns and content, like how-to blogs, thought leadership pieces, research, surveys, data reports, interactive tools, infographics, and ebooks

Must-Have

You’re a fast learner, insatiably curious, facile in business and product conversations with people at every level of the business

You’re creative, and a constant source of new ideas for how to message, how to market, and how to position AppZen for success

You’re analytical: you can look at a persona or customer you have no experience with, analyze it, and develop a strong point of view on the ambitions of that persona or customer and how AppZen can support them

You’re equally comfortable thinking strategically about the state of our business or the market, and tactically about getting the next nurture campaign done and out the door

You’re known to cut loose with a tall tale, movie line, terrible pun, or practical joke

You act with the highest integrity and give it to people straight, no matter what

You have zero ego, zero defensiveness, and assume the best about people (it’s a great culture, but we’re all moving fast and this attribute is absolutely critical)

5+ years of experience in a combination of experiences in product marketing, product management, presales, and consulting

You’ve demonstrated rapid growth in responsibility and leadership in your prior roles

You're able to work onsite in San Jose, CA

MBA is a plus

Yep, that’s a tall order

Our Promise to You

Dignity, respect, and transparency in the interview and hiring process

A strong set of collaborators that you will want to be in the foxhole with

A manager who has your back, cares about your professional growth, and understands that the relationship is a two-way street

An environment where you can be yourself - quirks and all - you’ll do your best work, you will be listened to, and you’ll get the straight story

A strong culture that plays, laughs, and rewards hardwork

Competitive pay, benefits, and perks

We are equal opportunity employer and value diversity. All employment is decided on the basis of qualifications, merit and business need.
