Hi Im Simon Chief Product & Technology Officer at Zen Educate. Were out to fix the broken world of education staffing something that eats up billions every year and still leaves schools understaffed and teachers over-stretched.
Great Product Marketing is the missing link between powerful features and real adopted value. If you can craft positioning that makes heads nod messaging that makes people understand and packaging that makes value clear lets talk.
What youll focus on & why it matters
- Packaging: shaping how we bundle and price software capabilities to accelerate school onboarding.
- Sales enablement: arm Sales and Customer Success with deck-ready stories objection-handlers and launch kits.
- Launch readiness: partner with Product Managers to roll out new features for maximum adoption and clear success metrics.
- Initially there is a real need for this on our school-facing software offering; but over time youll expand to the educator side of the marketplace.
Success in this role looks like
- A steady uptick in school platform adoption and active usage.
- Clear differentiated messaging adopted across web email demo decks and sales calls.
- Sales and CS teams working with more new and existing schools using our software because the story sells itself.
Youll thrive here if you
- Understand the problems customers face: This role is in the Product team for a reason. User first understanding is key
- Create content that converts: story-driven media designs and copy. The channel shouldnt matter the message and presentation should
- Dig into data: analytics tooling & dashboards wont faze you
- Work best with others: PMs for roadmaps Growth for campaigns Sales for feedback loops.
Nice-to-haves: education-tech or marketplace experience prior work on US go-to-market.
