• Prioritize and create compelling sales materials based on Sales team requests, such as 1-pagers, slides, and interactive demos – and ultimately own our library of product assets
• Track competitor updates and prepare assets to optimally position Skilljar versus competitors— attend competitor product webinars, share insights, and write competitor messaging for campaigns
• Craft targeted messaging to highlight Skilljar’s value and maintain the company messaging guide
• Create evergreen personas to train Sales, offering insight into who they are, their jobs-to-be-done, and what problems Skilljar solves for them
• Rigorously test and optimize messaging for new web pages to continuously improve them
• Develop case studies, website content, and other marketing materials in partnership with the content team to establish Skilljar as a leader in customer education
