Key Responsibilities
Messaging & Positioning
- Deeply understand product capabilities, architecture, and integrations to influence roadmap narratives and product-led growth motions.
- Translate technical capabilities into differentiated messaging for multiple audiences-from CISO to security architect.
- Develop positioning frameworks, value propositions, and customer-facing stories across use cases like Zero Trust, SASE, SD-WAN, and secure networking.
- Also able to create technically credible content (e.g., solution briefs, whitepapers, demo narratives, competitive comparisons) that supports sales engineers and field marketing.
- Partner with technical sellers and PM's to align positioning with roadmap, features, and technical differentiators

- Strong understanding of GTM best practices.
