Job Summary

Own the market narrative, positioning the T&S platform against alternatives and shifting perception toward a unified solution for modern finance teams. Drive end-to-end go-to-market strategy for new products and major launches, moving from reactive execution to a predictable engine that improves adoption and reduces risk. Build a best-in-class intelligence function by leading competitive analysis, win/loss studies, and customer research to inform revenue wins and product decisions.

  • You can distill a technically complex platform into a story that lands clearly with a senior finance buyer
  • You thrive on understanding the buyer, the market, and the competitive picture inside out
  • You get into the detail because you want to, and you want to be the person in the room who knows this space better than anyone
  • You think commercially and use data to make decisions
  • You've built repeatable operating models
  • You're as comfortable challenging a product roadmap priority as writing the launch brief

  • You're an AI-first operator

  • We know when AI makes your work better
  • You know when to verify what it produces
  • You know when to rely on your own expertise instead
  • This role requires you to be based within commuting distance of our hubs

  • We'll ask about how you use AI in your interviews, not to test tool knowledge, but to understand how you think about it
  • That reflects how we work every day
