Job Summary
The Vice President of Product & Vertical Marketing is a newly created leadership role at Centric Software, a rapidly growing enterprise software company. This role combines traditional product marketing responsibilities with industry-specific expertise, serving as a bridge between product marketing and go-to-market efforts.
You will expand and lead a team of 3 to 6 professionals, championing Centric Software's five product lines across five verticals. Key responsibilities include developing product messaging, conducting competitive analysis and differentiation, shaping value propositions, overseeing product launches, and collaborating with R&D teams. Additionally, you will lead go-to-market activities and produce collateral such as TAM studies, sales enablement tools, customer testimonials and case studies, marketing partnerships, campaign assets (handoff to field marketing), website/SEO content, and more. You will also manage tech analyst relations, leveraging your experience in this area.
This role is designed to address the current under-positioning of our solutions and will work closely with the broader marketing organization (field marketing, digital teams, corporate content, CMO) and other departments, including R&D, pre-and post-sales, sales, and customer teams.
Centric Software is a Silicon Valley-based company in a period of high growth, with team members located in over two dozen countries. The marketing team includes 70+ full-time employees, supported by approximately 200 contractors. We operate with a high-performance, hands-on culture where all team members are action oriented.
Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the development of the product/vertical marketing strategy and methodology for this newly formed team.
  • Create and maintain the value proposition, key messages, and foundational assets, evolving them in line with product advancements.
  • Develop and manage solution-based marketing and sales enablement assets.
  • Maintain a strong customer focus, creating use cases, and testimonials, and staying closely attuned to market demands.
  • Represent the company at webinars and key events, advocating for our solutions and brand.
  • Conduct competitive and market research to inform strategy.
  • Collaborate with all sales teams, including CST, strategic accounts, and enterprise teams.
  • Share market and customer insights with R&D, product teams, and the broader marketing organization.
  • Act as the primary point of contact for tech analysts, fostering relationships and proactively engaging with new analysts as our solution scope expands.


Qualifications and Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in marketing, business administration, or a related field.
  • Experience in PLM, retail planning, AI solutions, or competitive market intelligence is a plus.
  • Knowledge of the retail and fashion industries is advantageous.
  • 10+ years of experience in product marketing or related leadership roles, preferably in a B2B SaaS environment.
  • Proven success in managing cross-functional, global teams and large-scale digital ecosystems.
  • Strong ability to navigate ambiguity, devise innovative solutions, and stay focused on results in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
  • Demonstrated ability to scale operations across multiple regions and languages.
  • Advanced analytics skills to measure performance, optimize strategies, and guide decision-making.
  • Exceptional leadership and mentoring skills, fostering a culture of excellence and accountability within the team.
