Work cross-functionally with Product Management, Business Development, Marketing, and Executive teams to align messaging, positioning, and enablement with ambitious revenue targets
Track adoption, awareness, conversion, and forecasting accuracy, iterating to drive continuous improvement
Mentor colleagues now and hire 1–2 Product Marketing Managers as the portfolio scales
What We’re Looking For
Significant experience in Product Marketing leadership (not demand generation) within finance, fintech, market data, or financial education, with evidence of driving audience insight, positioning, and go-to-market outcomes
Demonstrated expertise in audience definition and buyer personas: able to translate insights into sharp value propositions and differentiated positioning

Strong cross-functional influence with Product, Marketing, and Sales; skilled at presenting to senior stakeholders
Commercial acumen with knowledge of pricing, analytics, and forecasting
Experience leading and mentoring small teams; appetite to build a new function from scratch
Desirables: certificates/learning product expertise, EMEA/APAC exposure
