About the job

We're looking for an Industry Principal, Apparel ERP at our Alpharetta, GA office. This is a full-time onsite role. You'll own the success of our Apparel ERP segment and drive cross-functional alignment across Product, Sales, Marketing, Operations, and Customer Success.

You'll sit within the Global Marketing organization as the Apparel ERP segment's single point of accountability for market success. Your authority comes from expertise and credibility, not a reporting structure. You'll influence without formal power and own segment financial outcomes including pipeline, new logo acquisition, up sells/cross sells, and retention.

Key Responsibilities

You'll ensure go-to-market teams are well educated and have the tools to win. You'll monitor lead follow-up and act as the segment expert in high-stakes engagements. You'll work closely with Campaign Managers to oversee demand generation programs and drive optimization. You'll define go-to-market strategy and Product Marketing, and understand the competitive landscape including seasonal demand, global sourcing, and omnichannel complexity. You'll partner with Product Management on roadmaps and messaging, collaborate with Operations and Customer Success on retention, and advocate for segment needs in planning cycles.

About you

You are a natural owner who doesn't wait to be assigned responsibility. You're organized and clear-headed in complexity, comfortable managing multiple workstreams, and your default is to solve challenges. You have B2B experience in product marketing, sales, strategy, merchandising, sourcing, or apparel operations—ideally in SaaS or enterprise software. You communicate clearly and influence through expertise and relationships without formal authority.

To be ahead of the pack, you might have:

• Direct experience in apparel, footwear, fashion, or retail operations
• Track record owning a business segment or vertical end-to-end
• Experience representing apparel and fashion industry solutions in forums or on stage
• Proven ability to drive cross-functional alignment without formal authority
