The role
You will lead product marketing across a business with several products, multiple priority verticals and two distinct go-to-market
motions. In a crowded payments market, the sharper we are on who we serve and why we win, the harder every campaign, every launch
and every sales conversation works. That clarity is what this role owns.
There is a product marketer in the team today and further vertical seats to come. You are hired first so that you can define what
those roles look like and hire into them, and you will shape how product marketing works alongside demand generation, sales and
product.
You will also personally own one of our priority verticals: Travel, Lending, corporate business payments or SME and accountants.
Which one depends on where your experience is strongest and where the business needs you most, and we will work that out together.
It matters to us that whoever leads this function is in the market themselves, not directing it from a distance.
What you’ll do
Own positioning and the narrative - Define sharp, differentiated positioning grounded in real customer insight and a clear point
of view on where we win, and translate a technically rich platform into messaging that lands with finance, operations and
commercial buyers.
Define the value proposition for each market - Build a deep understanding of every vertical we serve: who the buyer is, what they
are actually trying to solve, the regulatory and competitive context they operate in, and what makes Modulr the right answer for
them. Turn that into a value proposition the whole business can articulate.
Talk to customers, constantly - The best messaging comes from the people already buying from us. Run customer conversations,
win/loss and voice-of-customer work as a standing habit rather than an annual project, listen to how customers describe the
problem and the product in their own words, and feed that language back into our positioning, our content and our sales
conversations. We want the market to hear itself when it reads our messaging.
Own a vertical yourself - Carry one priority vertical personally, as the source of truth on its buyers, its competitive landscape
and its narrative.
Run launches on a cadence - Own launch planning and tiering, with enablement attached and adoption measured, working closely with
product on what gets built and how it reaches the market.
Arm the commercial team - Pitches, decks, demo narratives, battlecards and win stories built from how buyers actually decide, and
used because they are good rather than because they exist.
Be the source of truth on the market - Competitive intelligence, buyer journeys and market insight synthesised into a clear read
that shapes product, marketing and sales decisions. Be the person leaders come to when they need to understand a market.
Build and lead the team - Define the vertical seats, hire them, and set the bar for craft across the function.
Make AI part of how the team works - Research synthesis, message testing and content production compressed by workflows you build
yourself. We will ask you to show us this during the process.
