Tephra Inc.
Director, Product Marketing
Tephra Inc., Morristown, NJ
Description:
Our client is looking for a results-focused, visionary product marketing leader who combines deep industry and domain experience with a passion for looking at the insurance business through our customers' eyes - and excels at translating those insights into great products and experiences.
In this role, you'll lead the development and execution of product marketing strategy and go-to-market plans for Our client's product lines, working across product management, marketing, and sales teams to make sure the world knows about our market-leading solutions.
Who You Are
The right candidate will have a deep understanding of the insurance business, extensive knowledge of P&C personal, commercial and specialty lines, a passion for InsurTech, and experience addressing growth plans. The candidate must have a proven track record in partnering and communicating effectively with a variety of stakeholders such as product management, business development, marketing, sales, and finance, and is comfortable working closely with and presenting to the executive team. Must be customer and market focused, an excellent problem solver, outside-of-the-box thinker, and be able to deliver a positive business impact.
How You'll Stand Out
You know the insurance industry, the InsurTech business, and the various market players like the back of your hand: What they do today and what they plan to do in the future. You also know our buyers better than they know themselves, including how they make their buying decisions. This isn't guesswork. You back up strategic insights with market evidence and then use that knowledge to drive the development of positioning and messaging that resonates with buyers and empowers our sales channels to be successful.
You will collaborate with our marketing team to develop innovative programs that drive demand. An attention to detail and eye for quality are critical to your success, along with an ability to grasp and present our products' value proposition in a way that resonates and clearly articulates how we solve our customers' problems and drive real business outcomes. You are obsessed with tracking performance, and have the data to prove what's working and what isn't.
