Senior Director of Product Marketing, RippleNet

Ripple is the world’s only enterprise blockchain solution for global payments. Today the world sends more than $155 trillion across borders. Yet, the underlying infrastructure is dated and flawed. Ripple connects banks, payment providers, corporates and digital asset exchanges via RippleNet to provide one frictionless experience to send money globally.

We’re looking for an experienced and entrepreneurial B2B focused product marketing leader to drive our product and go-to-market strategy for RippleNet. This person will own the strategic direction and go-to-market strategy for enterprise solutions across payments, blockchain, and digital assets for financial institutions. 

In close partnership with product management, engineering, business development/operations, sales and customer success leadership, you’ll develop the GTM strategy and roadmap for which customer segments and use cases to target for adoption.   This leader will collect and synthesize insights from the field teams, customers, markets, and regions to incorporate into the decision making process, and champion the voice of the customer to influence product roadmaps.

You’ll grow, develop and manage a team of world-class product marketers helping them navigate opportunities through the ever changing payments and crypto landscape.  You will lead by example, serving as the customer expert across our product and business priorities.  You will excel at guiding your team to solve complex problems, driving clarity from ambiguity and pushing them to think differently from and beyond what already exists in the market to serve evolving customer needs.  

The ideal candidate will have extensive experience leading product marketing and strategy for a disruptive technology, ideally in Financial Services or Blockchain/Cryptocurrency.

What You’ll Do:

• Develop, hire, and manage a team of world-class product marketers across RippleNet’s key product offerings.
• Lead go-to-market planning and cross-functional implementation for existing and new products or releases, including positioning, packaging, pricing, and incentives.
