  • Launches & GTM
    • Lead product launches end-to-end, which includes messaging, landing pages, emails, and sales enablement.
    • Define launch tiers and ensure every release has a crisp narrative and measurable impact.
    • Collaborate with engineering and founders on demos, blog posts, and social amplification.

    • Support the sales team with concise talk tracks, objection handling, and value messaging.
  • Content & Thought Leadership

  • Collaboration: You work fluidly with founders, engineers, and designers.
