- Exceptional coach. You are committed to growing and developing your team members

- Compelling storyteller with a strong strategic and analytical mindset; you’re excited to own outcomes end-to-end, continually refining and delivering the company’s narrative

What the job involves
- As Director of Product Marketing and Lifecycle Marketing, you will own the overall messaging & positioning of Kajabi, our go-to-market strategy & execution, and the lifecycle marketing strategy for Kajabi.
- Your work will be critical to establishing us as the trusted partner for creators worldwide, and will require you to partner closely with the broader Marketing team and the Product team
- Ultimately, the job is to grow and lead a high-performing product marketing & lifecycle marketing team, focusing largely on (1) shaping our product lineup & messaging to appeal to creators who aspire to build successful businesses, (2) bringing new products to market (including potentially to new customer segments), and (3) building enduring relationships with prospects and customers, including helping our customers get the most value possible from our products. Simply put, you and your team will help us understand our customers and tell our story to them, reaching them in an authentic and compelling way
- Own the strategy for bringing our ambitious product roadmap to market, both to attract new customers and to deepen relationships with existing customers. Simplify the language we use to speak with our customers with a focus on driving comprehension of our value proposition as quickly, and clearly as possible. Serve as a key stakeholder in the launch of new offerings and new verticals, involved from ideation & exploration to initial launch and then ongoing growth & expansion
- Own the development & execution of our customer lifecycle marketing strategy and roadmap. Create segmented lead nurturing strategies to nurture and convert prospects. Build and optimize customer lifecycle programs that leverage email, in-product messaging, and sales to accelerate customer time to value, deepen product usage and adoption, and increase lifetime value
- Help us tell our story and ultimately define our category: What is Kajabi? Why should you trust us? What can we do for you that no one else can do for you? Tactically, this will look like messaging and positioning work, competitive intelligence, mapping the buyer’s journey, and helping refine personas—and working with the broader marketing team to guide the creation of foundational marketing experiences: e.g., demos, website content, demand gen assets, videos, webinar content, etc
- Develop, maintain and optimize a comprehensive, value-focused monetization strategy that includes pricing and packaging, feature gating, expansion and promotions
- Represent the voice of the customer. Work closely with our customer experience team to develop sales collateral, case studies, presentations, customer success stories, and other tools that improve our win rate, and enhance the productivity of our marketing and product work
- Of course, the team is the heart of all that we do. You will grow, develop, & inspire a team of talented product marketers and lifecycle marketers, and foster a cohesive, high-performing team. You will also work closely and collaboratively with our product, design, engineering and of course, with other members of the marketing team
Application process
- Send along any links that best showcase your experience, i.e. your portfolio, LinkedIn, blog posts, other writing samples, etc
Our take
Kajabi is a monetization platform that provides creators with a chance to turn their learning concept into a polished digital product - whether that's a course, membership, podcast, coaching program, newsletter, or even a full community.
Kajabi solves the issue of convoluted business functions by providing many of the tools needed in one simple place; including payment integration, forecasting, progress tracking, a visual builder, and more. It supplies a range of plans to suit creators with audiences of varying sizes, allowing a range of users to turn their knowledge into income.
Kajabi has helped its customers build hundreds of thousands of products, and secured an impressive amount of funding towards growing the business. Its acquisition of Vibely, a platform for creators to build and lead vibrant communities, further contributes to the platforms ability to enable creators to manage and build their businesses as they want.
Roughly 60,000 creators use Kajabi, and through the platform they have earned a combined $5 billion in lifetime gross merchandising value. Now boasting a valuation of over $2 billion, the company is focussing on integrating AI capabilities into its offering, including with its AI-powered Creator Studio, and AI Creator Hub which supplies six generative tools that rely on GPT-3.
