Smartsheet

For over 20 years, Smartsheet has empowered teams to manage work seamlessly and scale solutions smarter. Now, in our most ambitious chapter yet, we are uniting human teams with AI agents. By orchestrating the work agents do best, automating manual tasks and uncovering insights at scale, we create the space for people to focus on what truly matters: judgment, creativity, and big thinking. That is magic at work, and it’s what we show up for every day. AI is reshaping how enterprises buy, adopt, and expand work management platforms — and the conversation is moving faster in EMEA than most vendors are equipped to support. Smartsheet is building a market-leading AI narrative anchored in organizational intelligence, agentic workflows, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP), and this role exists to make that narrative land with EMEA field teams and the enterprise buyers they serve. As a Sr. Product Marketing Manager on the AI GTM Strategy team, you will be the in-region AI product marketing partner for Smartsheet's EMEA sales organization. You will translate the global AI narrative, product roadmap, and enablement infrastructure into regionally activated content, training, and field support — ensuring EMEA account executives, solution engineers, and customer success managers can lead substantive AI conversations that drive pipeline and expansion. This is not a generalist PMM role. You will own the intersection of AI product marketing and regional field activation across EMEA, working at the pace of a rapidly evolving product surface and a field organization that needs to be ahead of the market conversation. The role is hybrid, based at Smartsheet’s corporate offices in London, UK. You will report to our VP, AI Market Strategy. You will own: AI Narrative Activation — EMEA * Execute the regional activation of Smartsheet's global AI narrative across EMEA field teams, adapting messaging for market maturity, regulatory context, and competitive dynamics specific to European enterprise buyers. * Develop EMEA-specific AI positioning guides that address regional buyer concerns including data sovereignty, GDPR implications for AI-powered workflows, and compliance-sensitive adoption paths. * Maintain a living understanding of how AI messaging resonates differently across EMEA sub-regions (UK&I, DACH, Nordics, France, Southern Europe) and adjust field guidance accordingly. AI Sales Enablement — Regional Delivery * Serve as the primary AI enablement resource for EMEA field teams — translating global enablement packages (training decks, demo scripts, prompt cookbooks, competitive briefs) into regionally relevant, sales-ready formats. * Partner with Sales Enablement to deliver AI-specific training sessions, certifications, and deal support for EMEA account executives and solution engineers. * Build and maintain the EMEA AI content suite in Smarsheet’s Enablement platformHighspot: discovery slides, AI use-case messaging guides, MCP value narratives, and competitive positioning against regional alternatives. * Track enablement adoption through leading indicators including Gong keyword usage, Highspot engagement, and qualitative field feedback on content quality and deal impact. MCP & Platform Extensibility — EMEA GTM Support * Support the regional go-to-market activation for Smartsheet's MCP platform, including multi-connector capabilities, partner integrations, and agentic workflow positioning. * Develop EMEA-specific MCP use-case content that connects platform extensibility to the workflow patterns, integration ecosystems, and buyer priorities prevalent in European enterprise environments. * Partner with EMEA partner teams to align AI and MCP messaging with regional channel and technology alliance strategies. AI Customer Activation — EMEA * Develop and deliver regional AI activation programs that help EMEA customers move from initial AI feature adoption to embedded organizational intelligence workflows. * Partner with EMEA Customer Success to build AI-specific customer engagement frameworks, including AI readiness assessments, use-case workshops, and adoption milestone tracking. * Source and develop EMEA customer proof points, case studies, and reference stories that demonstrate AI-driven business outcomes in regionally relevant contexts. Competitive Intelligence — AI in EMEA * Maintain current competitive intelligence on AI positioning from competitors active in EMEA markets * Develop EMEA-specific competitive battle cards and objection-handling guides that address how competitors position AI capabilities to European buyers. * Provide regular competitive briefings to EMEA field leadership on shifts in competitor AI messaging, product launches, and market positioning. AI Thought Leadership & Market Presence — EMEA * Support Smartsheet's AI thought leadership presence at EMEA industry events, analyst briefings, and regional marketing campaigns. * Develop regionally relevant AI content (blog posts, webinar scripts, event presentations etc) that builds Smartsheet's credibility as an AI-forward platform in European markets. * Partner with EMEA demand generation to integrate AI messaging into regional campaign strategy and execution. How You Will Drive Business Value * Accelerate EMEA pipeline influenced by AI positioning by ensuring field teams can lead credible, differentiated AI conversations with enterprise buyers from first contact through expansion. * Improve EMEA win rates in competitive deals where AI capabilities are a decision factor by delivering sharp, regionally relevant competitive positioning. * Drive AI-led expansion within the EMEA installed base by equipping Customer Success with activation frameworks and use-case content that open new AI-driven conversations in existing accounts. * Build Smartsheet's regional brand as an AI leader in the European enterprise work management market through concentrated field activation, customer evidence, and thought leadership. * Other duties as assigned You Have:  * 8+ years of experience in product marketing, solutions marketing, or GTM strategy in a B2B SaaS environment, with meaningful time spent in or supporting EMEA markets. * Direct experience translating global product narratives into regionally activated field content and sales enablement for European enterprise audiences. * Working knowledge of AI and automation concepts sufficient to engage credibly with technical buyers, solution engineers, and product teams on AI-related topics — you do not need to be a data scientist, but you need to understand the conversation. * Familiarity with the European regulatory and data sovereignty landscape as it relates to enterprise AI adoption (GDPR, AI Act, data residency considerations). * Strong writing and messaging skills — able to take complex AI product capabilities and turn them into clear, buyer-resonant value claims that work in a European context. * Comfort working directly with Sales, Customer Success, and field teams across multiple EMEA sub-regions to validate, iterate, and activate positioning in real time. * Proactive and self-directed, with the ability to bring structure to complex, fast-moving environments while juggling multiple high-stakes relationships  * Experience with competitive intelligence and the ability to maintain current, actionable competitive views in a fast-moving market. * Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience required. * Fluency in English is required * Ability to work in the UK on an ongoing basis Why This Role * Own the AI go-to-market activation for one of Smartsheet's most strategically important regions at a moment when AI is the primary differentiator in enterprise buying decisions. * Work at the intersection of product marketing, field enablement, and AI strategy — a rare combination that builds career-defining expertise. * Join a high-velocity AI GTM Strategy team with direct line of sight to executive leadership, product strategy, and commercial outcomes. * Shape how a leading enterprise platform shows up in the AI conversation across Europe — not as a feature checkbox, but as a platform that makes organizations measurably more intelligent.

This is a "zero-to-one" role where you will be one of the first faces of the product, bringing deep technical expertise to our initial design partners and translating their feedback into a roadmap for our product and engineering teams. You will partner in a tight-knit GTM squad, ensuring our technical positioning is sharp and our proofs-of-value are undeniable. By leading technical discovery and solution design, you’ll turn early interest into production-grade adoption.

Your deep fluency in modern, agentic engineering workflows and cloud architectures allows you to act as a credible peer to engineering leaders and senior developers. You thrive in the ambiguity of an early-stage launch, balancing high-level strategy with the hands-on execution required to debug an integration or build a compelling technical narrative. Your impact will define how software teams collaborate with AI to ship the next generation of applications. WHAT TO EXPECT * Win Early Customers: Own the technical relationship with design partners and prospects.

WHAT YOU BRING * Foundational Solutions Engineering: 7+ years of experience in solutions engineering or architecture at a developer tools, platform, or infrastructure company, with a track record of co-owning revenue. * Hands-on Technical Depth: Comfortable writing code and scripting to stand up integrations. You have solid fluency in cloud infrastructure, containerization, and CI/CD. * AI-Native Expertise: A deep understanding of how AI is reshaping the SDLC. You have hands-on experience building with AI agents and can speak credibly about prompt optimization and agentic workflows. * Pioneer Mindset: Comfort with ambiguity and the proactivity to create clarity in undefined situations. You are a self-starter who drives outcomes without a pre-existing playbook. * Compelling Storytelling: Exceptional demo and communication skills; you can take a nascent feature and turn it into a compelling business outcome for a technical audience. * Advanced Project Management: Experience juggling multiple high-stakes design partners and internal stakeholders simultaneously. * Advanced Project Management: A team-first mindset that allows you to operate autonomously while making those around you better through shared insights and cross-functional alignment. BONUS * Level 5+ AI Adoption: You identify as Level 5 or higher on Steve Yegge’s eight levels of AI adoption. * Zero-to-One Experience: Proven experience launching a completely new product or category from scratch.
