[KITlist] Group/Senior Product Marketing Manager (Sunnyvale, CA)

 

 
Please direct your responses to: http://ch.tbe.taleo.net/CH10/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?org=PROOFPOINT&cws=1&rid=2368

WeÂ're seeking a hands-on senior product marketer for Proofpoint�s Information Archiving Governance business (think "systems that track and store every employee�s email and social communication, and files as appropriate, such that that information can be reviewed and/or retrieved for legal review and compliance purposes. It�s a multi-billion-dollar cloud-based big-data challenge). Our best candidates tend to be ex-Product Managers or ex-Sales Engineers -- technically savvy, great listeners and presenters, highly productive creators of sales tools / whitepapers / ROI documents etc. A great candidate is NOT someone whose sole interest is to Â"manage the processÂ", do Â"bizdevÂ", or uses lots of buzzwords.

If you have a passion for taking the initiative and explaining what we do to others, verbally and in writing, quickly and concisely – and you understand how to best adjust those approaches for various marketing vehicles and customers -- you�ll enjoy this role. You must enjoy messaging, content creation, customers and sales enablement. High energy and self-motivation are crucial. Come in with a perspective on the right way to use Product Marketing to scale the company, and the initiative to make that perspective a reality. (If you�re waiting for your manager to tell you what to do, you�re not going to do well). You will work with experienced managers who�ve built and run some of the best-known companies in Silicon Valley.

We reward creativity and execution, and yet we also value a good sense of humor and believe in maintaining a work-life balance. Come join us as we build a great SaaS company.

Responsibilities include:

• Content creation: whitepapers, powerpoint, data sheets, web pages, articles, sales tools, blogs, etc
• Presentation: to sales, customers, via phone / webinar / live
• Sales Enablement: ridealongs, training, motivation, lead by example customer pitching

Requirements:

• BS undergraduate; technical background and/or MBA would be favorably viewed
• Min 3-5 years experience in Prod Mgt or Prod Mktg, incl sales enablement activities, ideally in an Enterprise Software or SaaS Co.
• Strong, proven writing abilities; whitepapers, presentations, email, outbound communication
• Strong, proven speaking and presentation abilities; to customers, partners, sales teams at all levels
