Role Expectations
This is an M5 level role. At Solink, individuals at this level set the strategic direction for a major function, translating executive priorities into scalable execution, building organizational capability through the leaders and teams they develop, and are accountable for delivering sustained business outcomes.
In This Role, You'll Be Expected To:
Own the long-term strategy, operating model, and performance of Product & Customer Marketing, translating CMO and executive priorities into clear roadmaps and measurable outcomes.
Build and grow a high-performing team, developing future leaders and building strong marketing capability across the function.
Partner with the CMO and cross-functional executives (Sales, Product, Customer Success) to influence company-wide GTM priorities and strategic initiatives.
Establish scalable systems, playbooks, and operating rhythms — launch process, sales enablement, win/loss, AR, customer advocacy — that improve effectiveness beyond any single program.
Represent Product & Customer Marketing internally as the senior authority on positioning and category strategy, building trusted relationships across the organization.
What Success Looks Like:
Product & Customer Marketing is recognized as a strategic, executive-level function with a clear seat at the GTM table, not a service arm to Sales or Demand Gen.
The team and leaders you build operate with growing autonomy and are developing toward their own next level.
The systems and playbooks you establish scale beyond you and are adopted company-wide, outlasting any single launch or campaign.
