Director of Product Marketing

The Director Product Marketing owns positioning, messaging, and go-to-market strategy for Higher Logic’s product portfolio. This is a high-impact year — with several significant product launches on the roadmap, this role will be at the center of driving product adoption and revenue growth across North America and APAC. 

You’ll translate deep association market knowledge into positioning that resonates, launch strategies that land, and enablement that helps Sales win. You’ll manage one direct report and work cross-functionally with Product, Sales, Enablement, Demand Gen, and Customer Success. The right person for this role is equal parts strategist and operator — someone who can set direction and build the repeatable systems to execute at the pace our business requires.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITES  

Positioning & Competitive Strategy 

Own product positioning and messaging across the portfolio. Define how Higher Logic shows up in the market relative to competitors — including battlecards, win/loss analysis, and ongoing market intelligence. Ensure every customer-facing touchpoint tells a consistent, compelling story grounded in deep understanding of the association buyer. 

Go-to-Market & Product Launches 

Lead go-to-market strategy and execution for a high volume of product launches and feature releases. Build and operationalize a repeatable launch framework that coordinates Product, Demand Gen, Enablement, and Customer Success — ensuring launches translate into adoption, retention, and revenue, not just announcements. 

Revenue Influence & Sales Partnership 

Partner with Sales and Revenue leadership to improve win rates and accelerate deal velocity. Develop the collateral, messaging frameworks, and enablement tools that help reps articulate value and close. Track and report on pipeline contribution, win rates, adoption, and retention influence to ensure product marketing is directly tied to revenue outcomes. 

Market Insight & Thought Leadership 

Serve as the internal voice of the association and B2B community buyer. Leverage proprietary research and benchmark data to strengthen positioning and fuel thought leadership. Translate customer and market insight into input that influences the product roadmap and business strategy.

Manage and develop one direct report. Establish standards and repeatable processes for messaging, launches, and competitive intelligence. Apply AI tools and automation where practical to increase the speed and scale of the function.
