• Build the sales and BD enablement engine: pitch narratives, solution briefs, competitive battle cards, case studies, and objection handling that shortens enterprise sales cycles.
• Own competitive and market intelligence, maintaining a current view of alternative L2s, rollup frameworks, and infrastructure providers, and turning that view into positioning decisions.
• Partner with Product to shape the roadmap with market evidence, and with Partnerships to package joint offerings with ecosystem and infrastructure partners.
• Support analyst, press, and executive communications with a consistent product narrative, in partnership with the comms team.
• Build and lead the product marketing function over time, including hiring, standards, and operating cadence.
