Posted on Jan 23, 2024

About the role:

Product marketing helps Forter win bigger by connecting the right product, message, and customer across all we do.

Our mission is to position Forter as a category leader, by delivering world-class market insights, product launches & go-to-market plans, messaging, and enablement to support product, sales, and partner success. Our team works across the entire product lifecycle, from helping shape the product, to driving launch and commercialization, to growing product bookings & adoption post-launch.

Our mission is to position Forter as a category leader, by delivering world-class market insights, product launches & go-to-market plans, messaging, and enablement to support product, sales, and partner success. Our team works across the entire product lifecycle, from helping shape the product, to driving launch and commercialization, to growing product bookings & adoption post-launch.

We work cross-functionally, partnering closely with Product Management, Sales, Customer Success, Enablement, other Marketing teams, and almost every part of the company.

We are currently hiring a Senior Product Marketing Manager for our Identity Protection solution.

Forter Identity Protection stops account takeovers, blocks the creation of fake accounts, and improves bot detection to protect account integrity and drive customer loyalty.

Identity Protection is a newer product at Forter, and we are in the process of defining product/market fit and building our go to market strategy from the ground up! This means there’s a lot of opportunity for a self-starter to come in and help pave our way to win with our Identity Protection solution.

This is a highly visible position that will collaborate with Product Management, Sales, Solution Consulting, Marketing, Customer Success, and Company leadership.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Build our go to market strategy in partnership with product and sales leads to determine product/market fit, messaging, who we target, how we target, and how we win with Identity Protection
  • Launch new capabilities that enhance Identity Protection value proposition to customers—you’ll own the launch plan, soup to nuts
  • Position Identity Protection and differentiate it from in-market alternatives—you’ll create the necessary collateral to carry key messages beyond our four walls
  • Enable Forter salespeople to fully internalize our value proposition and reinforce it with a library of success stories from our fanatical customers
  • Influence the product roadmap as the voice of the customer back into the product and marketing organizations. You will shape how the roadmap is communicated externally
  • Collaborate like crazy. If you’re going to succeed at the above five bullets, it’s because you’ve formed strong relationships with our Product Management, Sales, Solution Consultant, Customer Success and other teams. You’ll be a trusted expert that engages directly with partners, prospects and customers.

What you’ll need:

  • Writing skills. They are prized around here. Once you’ve internalized our products and differentiation, you don’t want to take dependencies to create collateral. You’re comfortable picking up the pen / clacking away on a keyboard.
  • Keen ear. The best marketers are the best listeners, and in this role you need to seek to understand what different partners care about and consider how we can activate them on our behalf. We’ll want to know how you distill complex topics and relationships down to key insights.
  • Presentation skills. We can always work on this one together … but expect that by owning enablement for Forter salespeople and partner salespeople, you’re going to be in front of the room (physical or virtual) often.
  • Product-orientation. Note that this is a role in product marketing, and there is a technical aspect that requires you to deeply understand our platform. We expect that at the 90-day mark, you’ll be comfortable giving a Spielberg-esque demo of our product in action.
  • Orchestration. Any product marketer that owns a launch process has to be confident orchestrating stakeholders and workstreams and sticking to deadlines.
  • Domain experience. 4+ years of experience in product marketing, with a focus on cybersecurity, identity protection, IAM, or related fields.
