Qualifications

• 10+ years in product marketing, strategic communications, or analyst-facing roles, with significant experience in enterprise software.
• Demonstrated record of building platform narratives adopted across a large organization.
• Exceptional writing and storytelling, with examples that show you can make complex technology simple without making it shallow.

• Strong command of the AI landscape, including how buyers evaluate AI claims, and sound judgment about credible versus inflated positioning.

Responsibilities

• Own and evolve Deltek's platform narrative: the vision, the problem it solves, how the platform fits together, and why it matters to project-based businesses.
• Define AI positioning across the portfolio, including what Deltek says about AI, what it proves, and what it deliberately does not claim.
• Translate technical architecture and roadmap decisions into messaging that executives, buyers, and practitioners can understand.
• Build the core narrative assets: the platform story, executive messaging framework, point-of-view content, keynote and executive talk tracks, and proof points.
• Equip industry PMM leads, sales, and customer-facing teams with messaging they can adapt to their vertical, and keep it consistent as new products and releases ship.
• Partner with Product Management and Engineering to stay ahead of the roadmap, and with the GMs so the platform story strengthens each business unit’s positioning.
• Brief industry analysts and shape how they describe Deltek’s platform and AI strategy, in coordination with Analyst Relations.
• Work with Corporate Marketing on campaigns, events, and web so the platform story shows up consistently in market.
• Gather customer and market evidence, including adoption, outcomes, and competitive perception, and use it to sharpen the narrative.
