- Strategic thinker with a proven ability to translate high-level business objectives into actionable go-to-market and product marketing strategies across commercial and federal segments
- Self-starter with a strong sense of ownership and initiative—able to work independently in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment with minimal oversight
- Entrepreneurial and adaptable, bringing a proactive, solutions-oriented mindset to evolving priorities and complex challenges
- Detail-oriented and highly organized, capable of managing multiple workstreams, cross-functional stakeholders, and high-impact deliverables without sacrificing quality or speed
- Analytical thinker with a data-driven approach — constantly asking "why" and solving problems with rigor and creativity
- Collaborative team player who builds strong cross-functional relationships and thrives in high-growth, high-performance cultures
- Demonstrated success leading sales enablement programs — including training, onboarding, asset creation, and feedback-driven refinement
- Hands-on experience supporting federal go-to-market strategies, including messaging for public sector buyers, procurement cycles, and compliance positioning (e.g., FedRAMP)
- Skilled in analytics and optimization — tracking campaign performance, SEO rankings, product usage, and sales feedback to refine GTM strategy, enhance ROI reporting, and support continuous improvement
- Adept at thought leadership and industry engagement — representing the brand in online communities, industry events, and digital channels to drive awareness, engagement, and social selling opportunities
- Strong content development skills — including authoring solution briefs, product videos, case studies, whitepapers, web copy, and competitive assets
- Experienced in event marketing support, including messaging, content, collateral creation, and sales readiness for conferences, field events, and executive briefings
- Exceptional written and verbal communicator — capable of simplifying technical concepts and telling compelling product stories that resonate with both business and technical audiences

- We’re hiring a Director of Product Marketing to lead the strategic development and execution of our positioning, messaging, enablement, and go-to-market programs

- You’ll be expected to craft compelling narratives that resonate with commercial and federal buyers, build and execute a scalable product marketing roadmap, and lead the charge on cross-functional alignment with Sales, Product, and Growth
- You’ll also ensure our revenue teams are fully equipped with the tools, content, training, and confidence they need to differentiate LILT and close business
Our take
Widely available tools like Google Translate are not fit for complex, operationally intense processes that require expert translations. Manual methods of yesterday can't scale with the volume of digital information produced in the world today. Lilt works with companies, schools, and government agencies to provide AI-powered enterprise language translation. Lilt’s platform combines a translation management system and neural machine translation with human language experts to create a “human-in-the-loop” approach.
While companies like AI Translate offer intelligent machine translations, they still have linguists fine-tune and correct the texts afterward. With the Lilt platform, AI and humans work in collaboration through the text together, with the AI making real-time sentence suggestions and the linguist reviewing them immediately. This collaboration creates 3-5x better efficiency compared with traditional human-only translation services, aiding in Lilt's substantial rounds of funding.
Clients such as Asics, Canva, and Digital Ocean use Lilt technology for urgent campaigns and large-scale localisation projects. Recently, Lilt launched its V3.5 translation models, which improve quality by 15% to 20%, significantly enhancing translation accuracy and efficiency. Additionally, Lilt appointed a new Chief Revenue Officer to propel growth and scale, emphasising its commitment to expanding its market presence and improving its services further.
