You will translate our technical differentiation into clear value for commercial buyers and government mission owners. Operating at the intersection of product marketing and GTM, you’ll build a repeatable launch playbook across our entire product suite: 2F Game Warden, 2F Frontier, and 2F Workshop.

You will create deeply technical content across various mediums, ensuring our field teams and customers are armed with credible forms of proof points. We need someone capable of preserving 2F’s unique mission, customer obsession, and competitive edge for each product.

As a key partner to Product Management and Engineering teams, you will adapt narratives to the customer lifecycle context, serving as the primary partner that delivers measurable impact on growth, adoption, and market positioning.

What You’ll Do

• Serve as the go-to positioning authority across Product Marketing, Product Management, Engineering, Designers, and Mission Success to translate customer and market insights into evidence-based product messaging and roadmap recommendations.
• Build hands-on technical assets—including proofs of concept, architecture diagrams, and live demo environments to establish credibility with technical decision-makers.
• Drive product launches as an integrated system, sequencing field enablement, technical demos, TCO analyses, solution briefs, and digital content against defined readiness and performance metrics.
• Monitor the competitive landscape and equip sales and engineering teams with actionable battlecards, technical objection handling, and product positioning frameworks.
• Partner with broader Marketing to power demand generation campaigns with technically accurate, high-value assets, including research reports and technical white papers.
• Champion 2F’s technical story in analyst briefings, trade shows, customer advisory boards, and industry forums to drive pipeline growth and product adoption.

What You Bring

• 5-7 years in Product Marketing, Technical Marketing, Solutions Engineering, or Technical Product Management within enterprise software.
• Hands-on familiarity with DevSecOps, CI/CD pipelines, containerization, or platform engineering workflows with a proven ability to translate complex technical architectures into compelling buyer narratives.
• Demonstrated track record of defining, positioning, and launching complex technical products for both technical and non-technical decision-makers.
• Experience tracking launch adoption, content performance, and GTM pipeline impact using data-driven dashboards.
• Strong operational backbone with the judgment to separate high-impact strategic priorities from daily noise.
• Exceptional written, verbal, and presentation skills with experience delivering executive-level presentations, field enablement, and customer-facing technical content.
• Ability and willingness to travel regularly for team alignment, customer meetings, and industry events.

Preferred

• Prior experience in software engineering, solutions architecture, or developer relations.
• Familiarity with mission-critical B2G SaaS, DoD software acquisition, or enterprise cybersecurity frameworks.
• Experience marketing an integrated product portfolio that combines software automation with edge deployment solutions.

The base salary for this position will fall between $160,000 and $170,000.
