- Open, curious and receptive to new ideas and ways of doing things
- Comfort with and enjoyment of socratic discourse method of creative brainstorming and iteration

- Operant AI is seeking an Associate Product Marketing Manager who will join our foundational marketing team to help build out the next level of marketing assets, content, messaging, and sales enablement, reporting to the Co-founder and CMO
- This is an exciting opportunity to learn and grow at the forefront of two of tech’s fastest growing and best funded industries - Cybersecurity and AI, with exceptional growth potential for ambitious self-starters who want to uplevel their knowledge and experience for a future as a product marketing leader
- Create compelling customer-facing content from short blurbs to long-form treatises, across the website, sales enablement assets, slide decks and webinars, downloadable white papers, social media, and more
- Build out verticalized content for target industries and co-selling partners focusing on FinTech, High Tech, Health Tech, Cloud Providers, and B2B AI providers
- Work directly in design tools such as Figma and Canva to produce sales and marketing assets following brand guidelines and templates with only occasional collaboration with outside designers on a project-by-project basis. You should be good at making charts, diagrams, and similar visuals that tell compelling and clear use case stories for a technical/SAAS product
- Experiment with new tools and tactics both audio and visually to create new kinds of product marketing assets that amplify the message and cut through the noise of a highly competitive industry

- Presence at and support for omni-channel GTM campaigns and activities including event booths, webinars, and other similar marketing activities that overlap between product marketing, growth marketing, and brand marketing
Our take
Operant AI is focused on making cloud applications more secure. It offers a platform that protects applications while they're running, instead of just checking for security issues before deployment. This means it can defend against attacks in real-time.
This solution is particularly useful for businesses using modern cloud-native technologies like containers, APIs and microservices. Operant AI can be integrated throughout the development process, making it easier for companies to protect their apps without changing how they build them.
With substantial funding secured, the company is growing its team and expanding its product suite, positioning it to become a key player in the fast-growing market for cloud application security. A recent focus of the company has been on producing security to protect the ever-growing number of AI agents that are used in enterprise apps, APIs and data stores.
