We are looking for a Head of Product Marketing to take our go-to-market strategy to the next level. This is a unique opportunity to shape the narrative of a fast-scaling SaaS company in the global energy and freight markets — defining how we position our products, compete, and win.

This role is both strategic and hands-on: you’ll set the vision for Product Marketing at Vortexa, while personally driving high-stakes launches, sharpening competitive positioning, and ensuring our stories convert into measurable commercial impact.

What you’ll do:

Define and champion Product Marketing at Vortexa

  • Set and own the PMM charter, aligning it with company strategy and revenue priorities.
  • Establish clear priorities across launches, ICPs, and narratives to focus resources where they deliver the most impact.
  • Bring PMM insights and recommendations into executive discussions, ensuring market and customer perspectives directly shape company strategy and GTM priorities.
  • Partner closely with Product Strategy to connect market opportunity, customer feedback, and roadmap direction into a unified commercial view.
  • Build trusted, collaborative relationships across Product, Sales, PS, CS, and Marketing, ensuring PMM acts as a unifying, approachable partner across the business.

Institutionalise GTM discipline

  • Establish launch standards, playbooks and success criteria that make GTM execution repeatable and measurable across the organisation.
  • Personally lead Tier-1 launches, acting as the point of accountability at executive level.
  • Drive alignment across Product, Sales, PS, CS, and Marketing so launches are executed with clarity, consistency, and impact.
  • Ensure GTM strategy translates into clear messaging, coordinated execution, and field enablement.
  • Lead with a balance of vision and practicality — equally comfortable defining frameworks or diving into the details to help teams deliver with excellence.

Drive positioning and messaging

  • Own Vortexa’s positioning and messaging framework, ensuring every product and campaign connects to a clear, differentiated story.
  • Define narratives that make Vortexa stand out across energy, freight, and finance — turning complex ideas into clear, commercially relevant stories for decision-makers.
  • Evolve our positioning using insights from competitors, the market, and customers to keep it sharp, evidence-based, and ahead of the curve.
  • Work cross-functionally to ensure consistency across all teams, while allowing space for creativity and regional nuance.

Accelerate competitive advantage

  • Own and build a structured process for capturing, analysing, and sharing competitor data across Product, Sales, and Marketing.
  • Aggregate signals from the market, customers, and internal teams to identify emerging threats and opportunities.
  • Deliver quarterly competitive reviews and battlecard updates, embedding actionable insights across the business.
  • Provide clear recommendations on positioning and messaging adjustments to ensure differentiation.
  • Work with Product to share insights that inform roadmap prioritisation and pricing strategy.

Enable commercial success

  • Ensure Sales, CS, Product Specialists, and BDRs are equipped with the narratives, tools, and confidence to win competitive deals.
  • Lead a structured enablement cadence with measurable impact on win rates and stage conversion.
  • Embed PMM outputs as consistent, trusted, and widely adopted across the field.
  • Create a closed feedback loop between field insights, win/loss data, and Product to continuously improve market alignment.
  • Approach enablement as partnership — ensuring field teams feel supported, informed, and confident using PMM materials in real commercial scenarios.

Lead, coach, and influence

  • Mentor senior PMMs, raising the bar for strategy, storytelling, and execution.
  • Represent the PMM function with the executive team, ensuring its contribution to growth is visible and measurable.
  • Partner with the VP of Product and Product Strategy to foster a shared intelligence culture across Product and Marketing.
  • Be recognised as an inclusive, pragmatic leader who builds alignment and momentum — someone people enjoy working with and can turn to for clarity and confidence.

Requirements

What we’re looking for

  • Proven Product Marketing leadership in a high-growth B2B SaaS company, ideally with technical or data-heavy products (energy, trading, or freight experience a strong plus).
  • Track record of building competitive intelligence programmes that influence product direction and sharpen go-to-market execution.
  • Demonstrated success leading Tier-1 launches with measurable adoption and revenue impact.
  • Sharp commercial instinct: comfortable partnering with Sales and CROs, shaping GTM priorities, and presenting at exec level.
  • Deep curiosity and credibility: able to immerse yourself in complex products and markets quickly, earning trust with technical experts and commercial leaders alike.
  • Strategic and hands-on: equally adept at facilitating GTM war-rooms, editing frameworks, or briefing the board.
  • Evidence-led communicator: uses win/loss insights, market research, and competitor analysis to guide decisions.
  • A natural collaborator with strong emotional intelligence — able to read the room, communicate with empathy, and build trust across all levels of the organisation.
  • Clarity and influence: able to cut through complexity, build consensus, and tell stories that resonate with both technical and commercial audiences.
