Swiftly is on a mission to help cities move more efficiently. We are the leading transit data platform for agencies to share real-time passenger information, manage day-to-day operations, and improve service performance.

About the Role

• Create enablement content, product collateral, and customer-facing assets that drive product adoption and sales success.
• Be a strategic advisor and consultant to Product and Revenue leadership on market problems, marketing insights, competitive intelligence, customer feedback, and growth opportunities.
• Shape thought leadership narratives that elevate Swiftly’s voice in the industry and align with our broader brand strategy.

About you

• 8-10+ years of experience in product marketing, go-to-market strategy, or consulting in B2B SaaS or selling to government agencies.
• Proven track record of owning and launching products, crafting compelling positioning, and building successful go-to-market strategies.
• Strong storytelling and writing skills, you can turn complex product capabilities into crisp, clear messaging.
• Highly cross-functional and collaborative; thrives in an energetic, iterative environment.
