- Differentiated Narratives: Develop sharp, differentiated competitive narratives and positioning assets tailored to key buyer segments and priority competitors in the talent management and adjacent markets.
- Market Strategy: Partner with Product and Marketing leadership to embed intelligence in early-stage strategy, including informing ideal customer profiles, personas, buying triggers, roadmap, and pricing decisions.
- Sales Enablement & Strategic Support (The "Partner")
- Asset Creation: Create scalable, field-ready assets and toolkits, including battlecards, objection-handling guides, and competitive training materials to ensure consistent messaging across all product lines.
- Deal Support: Collaborate with and support the sales team in individual, high-stakes deals against priority competitors, including preparing tailored materials and potentially speaking with prospects to differentiate the Eightfold platform.
- Win/Loss Analysis: Own and conduct quarterly Win/Loss Analysis and deal debriefs on competitive deals. Deliver regular briefings and executive-level insights to inform strategic bets and investment priorities.
- Feedback Loop: Foster a strong feedback loop with the field to continuously refine intelligence products based on real-time market signals and sales usage data.

- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex product features into simple, powerful, and differentiated sales narratives.
- Proven ability to learn and navigate new software platforms quickly (a "hands-on" technical curiosity).
- Comfortable working cross-functionally across Sales, Product, and Marketing.
