Role Overview

We are hiring a Product Marketing Lead to become F2's founding product marketing leader and own how the market understands our company, product, and category.

This is a hands-on builder role with real ownership. You will create F2's positioning and messaging, quarterback product launches, build the sales enablement and customer-insight systems that help us win, and turn our strongest market insights into high-quality content.

You will work at the center of Product, Growth, Sales, Customer Success, and leadership. The role reports to the Head of Growth, with our CEO serving as executive sponsor for F2's company narrative. This role is based in our New York City office and is fully onsite.

What You'll Do

• Own positioning and messaging: Build F2's messaging architecture, category narrative, buyer personas, value propositions, and canonical source of truth.

• Translate technical differentiation: Turn complex AI capabilities into clear commercial value for senior private-markets and banking buyers.

• Quarterback product launches: Own the launch strategy, positioning, plan, timeline, readiness, enablement, and post-launch learning for major releases.

• Build sales enablement: Create the decks, one-pagers, battlecards, objection guides, proof points, and training that sellers actually use.

• Stay close to the field: Join prospect and customer calls to understand buyer language, objections, decision criteria, and competitive dynamics firsthand.

• Own customer and market insight: Build a structured voice-of-customer and win-loss program, maintain our ICP and personas, and bring outside-in insight to Product and leadership.

• Lead competitive intelligence: Monitor competitors and category shifts, identify recurring win and loss themes, and keep the field prepared.

• Shape commercial strategy: Turn customer and market evidence into recommendations on pricing, packaging, use cases, and new-market opportunities.

• Own the editorial engine: Set the content strategy and personally draft or edit priority website copy, launches, case studies, thought leadership, and customer stories.

• Scale through partners: Manage agencies, freelancers, and specialist contributors while remaining accountable for the brief, voice, accuracy, and final quality.

• Build F2's social narrative: Own the voice, calendar, and day-to-day publishing cadence until a specialist partner is in place, then manage that partner.

• Strengthen paid creative: Provide Growth with the audience insight, customer language, proof points, hooks, and briefs behind high-performing campaigns.
