• Own and evolve Akuity's top-level messaging and positioning across the product portfolio, ensuring a consistent, differentiated narrative across every customer touchpoint.
• Set the strategy for major product launches, including go-to-market timing, narrative arc, and cross-functional coordination across Product, Sales, and Community/Dev Relations.
• Build and scale the core content and enablement infrastructure for GTM: messaging frameworks, competitive battlecards, sales playbooks, presentations, case studies, and proof points.
• Partner directly with the CEO and product leadership to shape how the company tells its story to press, analysts, investors, and the broader market.
• Establish and run a competitive intelligence practice, tracking category shifts and ensuring Akuity's positioning stays ahead of competitors.

• Represent product marketing in company-wide strategic planning, providing the voice of the market and the buyer in roadmap and business decisions.
• Hire, develop, and eventually manage a small product marketing team as the function scales.
