  • Establish feedback loops with Sales, Support, Customer Success, and Partnerships to bring customer insights into messaging, campaigns, and the product roadmap
  • Conduct ongoing market, customer, and competitive research, including interviews, surveys, win/loss analysis, support data, and sales feedback
  • Develop and maintain Golf ICP, persona, segmentation, and customer journey insights

  • Partner with Sales and Enablement to create pitch decks, battlecards, one-pagers, demo tools, launch packs, training, and other materials that improve sales effectiveness
  • Collaborate with Integrated Marketing, Content, Design, PR, Events, and Partnerships to develop campaigns and content that create awareness, demand, education, and advocacy
  • Act as a product and industry subject matter expert for marketing, communications, and customer-facing teams

  • Golf marketing programs contribute to improved lead quality, conversion, payments attach, MRR, retention, and customer lifetime value
  • Lightspeed Golf is increasingly recognized as a trusted partner for golf course operators and a platform that helps them simplify operations, maximize revenue, and deliver exceptional experiences

What you need to bring:
