About the role

This role will have cross functional impact, shaping the story we share with customers and influencing product development through the user experience. As a core member of our team, you will report to our EVP of Product and Go to Market, while working closely with the CEO to shape high-stakes slide decks that win over partners and customers. Beyond the product, you own the company’s "narrative assets"-from the corporate website to product mockups and demos, having a direct impact on Skipify’s success.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Narrative & Sales Enablement
