- Develop and execute an SEO/GEO-driven content strategy that captures high-intent search traffic, ranks for critical buying keywords, and drives qualified inbound pipeline
- Analyze content performance (engagement, conversion, pipeline influence, organic traffic, keyword rankings) and iterate on formats, topics, and distribution strategies
- Build a repeatable, AI-assisted content creation process that can scale as the team grows, including templates, briefs, and quality standards
- Lead GTM strategy for all major product launches, pricing changes, and market expansions, from concept through launch and post-launch optimization

- Own competitive intelligence: track the neocloud market landscape, synthesize insights, and translate them into actionable GTM strategies and content
- Develop customer evidence programs (case studies, testimonials, reference customers) that build credibility and de-risk buyer decisions
- Conduct customer research (interviews, surveys, win/loss analysis) to understand buyer motivations, decision criteria, pain points, and objections
- Synthesize product usage data, customer feedback, and market signals to inform messaging, positioning, content strategy, and product prioritization
- Serve as the voice of the customer in internal strategy discussions, ensuring GTM and content decisions are grounded in real customer needs and market dynamics
- Establish the product marketing and content function at Runpod: build processes, templates, and systems that scale as the company and team grow

- Exceptional strategic thinking and execution: you can diagnose GTM gaps, develop clear strategies, and ship high-quality work quickly
- Cross-functional leadership: you've successfully influenced product, sales, and marketing teams without direct authority
- Bias toward action and speed: you thrive in ambiguous, fast-paced environments and prefer shipping over endless iteration
