About the role

Dayshape is a single-product company that’s grown rapidly from start-up to scale-up, and we need an experienced, enterprise software product marketing manager to take us to our next stage of growth. One of our values is humility, but we can be too humble about our strengths. We need someone to showcase how great our product is and make sure the market knows it too.

This is a hands-on role collaborating with product and commercial teams to devise and execute your plan, including; sales enablement materials, value proposition and messaging frameworks, win-loss interviews, and staying abreast of competitors and analyst trends. You’ll be a do-er who can quickly deliver on our urgent needs while gaining the insights to devise a longer-term strategy. In short, you’ll know both what to do, and how to do it.

What you’ll do

• Create and maintain compelling messaging frameworks and value propositions, and be responsible for keeping these consistent throughout the business.
• Identify internal- and external- facing sales enablement gaps, and create materials as required.
• Collaborate with the content marketing team to ensure the product vision, use cases, and benefits are surfaced in content throughout the buyer journey.
• Maintain competitive research and devise strategies off the back of that intelligence.
• Develop, and improve product marketing strategy to drive new business growth, including improving processes, market intelligence, and product marketing KPIs.
• Spend time “in market” (conducting win/loss analysis, customer discovery, analyst relations etc.) to become an expert on pains and priorities, regulatory standards, competitive differentiation, use cases, and how Dayshape delivers value.
• Share insights and make recommendations to product and commercial teams that enable the business to make informed decisions.

About you

• At least 4-5 years’ B2B product marketing experience - gained predominantly at enterprise software companies with long sales cycles, complex DMUs, and 6-figure+ deals.
• Can demonstrate success in an enterprise tech start-up or scale-up.
• A product marketing background primarily focused on new business growth, rather than customer retention and/or upsell.
• Can demonstrate the ability to apply market insights and intelligence to create outputs that have made a measurable business impact.
• Proven at transforming technical features and concepts into product positioning, messaging frameworks, and content themes.
• Proactively collaborative and curious; with colleagues, target audiences, and industry experts.
• An effective influencer cross-functionally.
• Always up to date with the latest product marketing thought leadership, techniques and trends.
• Highly adaptable; you think big picture and strategically but enjoy rolling up your sleeves to get things done.
• Self-motivated and acts with urgency, passionate about high-quality work, but prioritising delivery over perfection.

Bonus points if you have

• Knowledge of professional services organisations, particularly accounting firms.
• Experience taking a product to a new market

• Genuinely nice, smart people to work with, who are excited about growing our company

Working Details

This is a full-time role (37.5 hours per week). We typically work from 09:00 - 17:30 from Monday to Friday, though we can be flexible around this, just let us know.

Our ideal candidate would be based in/near Edinburgh, but the marketing team is international and hybrid, so this can be a remote role in the UK. We make the most of hybrid working in our Edinburgh office, with most of the marketing team working from home 3 days a week, and coming into our office to connect, make use of space, and for meetings.

Join the team!

Equality of opportunity is more than just a responsibility: we believe it’s a huge advantage to welcome a variety of experiences and perspectives into the team. Diversity is a great asset and, as such, we strongly encourage applications from any background.

This is your opportunity to influence how we get things done, how our product is taken to market, and how we tell the Dayshape story and vision.

Everyone here is growing personally as the company grows, so if that sounds like something you’d like to be part of, we’d love to see your application.
