At Persona, we're building the first universal and comprehensive identity infrastructure to help businesses of all sizes better serve and protect their customers' identities. Our identity platform enables businesses to securely collect and manage their customers' personal information, to verify that their customers' are who they say they are, to analyze and detect fraud and abuse, and to pull sensitive reports about their customers in a privacy-centric way. In a world where consumer behaviors are changing and privacy and identity are taking on a new meaning, we want to help businesses find their superpowers and do it while putting their customers, the people, first.

• Become an expert on Persona's product and customers, working across Product, Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success to launch new products and features and evolve our product roadmap and release process.
• Partner with Sales and Customer Success to understand the Voice of the Customer and drive adoption of products and best practices via training, tools, and collateral (e.g. product overviews, sales deck, web pages, etc).
• Develop a deep understanding of our market (buyers, competitors, and industry trends) and translate the knowledge into compelling messaging, positioning, and battlecards.
• Partner with Content and Lifecycle marketing to fuel our GTM engine with actionable campaigns (e.g., webinars, whitepapers, videos, case studies, etc).

You can leverage your excellent verbal and written communication skills to translate complex technical concepts into clear, compelling messaging. You adapt how you communicate to most effectively reach your target audience.
• A team player. You are able to work across a wide range of functions to lead and execute on cross-functional projects, driving alignment every step of the way from conception to completion. More than anything, you take pride in helping your teammates succeed.
