Overview
We are seeking a strategic, hands-on Director of Product Marketing to build and scale a high-impact product marketing function that directly supports revenue growth, sales enablement, and go-to-market alignment. You are joining RapidScale at a pivotal moment. As we aim to move upmarket and differentiate in a crowded and commoditized hybrid cloud services space, we are shifting our focus toward enterprise buyers in knowledge-driven industries with high outsourcing needs and limited in-house IT capacity. Your work will be central to repositioning our brand and product narrative for business outcomes.
You will bring deep experience in B2B hybrid cloud services or SaaS, a passion for creating scalable product marketing engines, and a proven ability to align messaging, enablement, and strategy to business results. A key area of focus will be building RapidScale's hybrid cloud story and developing frameworks that support repeatable, high-velocity go-to-market execution. This leader will architect the foundational structure, processes, and team required to move RapidScale from feature-focused messaging to a value-driven, outcomes-oriented approach that resonates with enterprise decision makers.

- Build a systematic approach to gathering customer insights, market trends, and competitive intelligence
- Translate market data into actionable recommendations for Product, Sales, and Marketing
