RemoteRemoteMarketingFull-time
Sitting between customers, Sales, Product, Product Marketing, Compliance, and Solutions Engineering, this role ensures the US commercial team has the product knowledge, positioning, market intelligence, and customer-facing support needed to develop the region without depending on HQ for routine requirements.
Responsibilities
- Product & Opportunity Support
- Join customer discovery, product, and strategic sales conversations to understand business problems, use cases, regulatory requirements, and product needs.
- Help Sales identify and position the right Shufti products and capabilities against each opportunity.
- Support proposals, RFPs, RFI responses, demonstrations, POCs, and other strategic evaluations from a product and market perspective.
- Identify product, regulatory, competitive, or operational blockers affecting opportunities and drive them toward resolution.
- Ensure Sales understands what Shufti can and cannot deliver before commitments are made.
- Own product-related follow-ups for US opportunities and coordinate specialist input from Product, Compliance, Engineering, or other HQ teams where required.
- Help translate complex product capabilities into clear commercial value for different buyers, industries, and use cases.
- Product Marketing & Sales Enablement
- Develop and continuously improve Shufti’s US-specific positioning and messaging.
- Define priority industries, buyer personas, use cases, pain points, and value propositions for the US market.
- Translate Shufti’s underlying technology into industry-specific propositions rather than positioning products generically.
- Build and maintain sales decks, solution briefs, one-pagers, discovery guides, FAQs, battlecards, objection-handling material, and competitive talk tracks.
- Equip Sales with the context needed to sell against specific competitors, regulations, customer problems, and industry trends.
- Brief Sales before strategic opportunities and support customer-facing conversations where deeper product or market expertise is required.
- Localise global product launches and ensure the US commercial team is enabled immediately when new capabilities become available.
- Work with Regional Marketing on campaign propositions, messaging, webinars, events, and industry-specific initiatives.
- Market & Competitive Intelligence
- Build a continuous understanding of how identity verification, KYC, KYB, AML, fraud, and adjacent markets are evolving in the US.
- Capture structured intelligence from prospects, customers, Sales, partners, lost opportunities, and industry activity.
- Track competitor products, positioning, pricing approaches, strengths, weaknesses, and market movements.
- Analyse win/loss patterns and identify recurring reasons Shufti wins, loses, or becomes blocked in opportunities.
- Monitor regulatory, fraud, procurement, technology, and customer-behaviour changes that may create new product requirements or commercial opportunities.
- Convert market observations into actionable recommendations rather than simply reporting information.
- Deliver structured regional intelligence back to Product and Product Marketing leadership.
- Regional Product Discovery
- Maintain a structured view of product gaps and unmet requirements emerging from the US market.
- Distinguish one-off customer requests from requirements that represent wider industry demand.
- Investigate important gaps through customer conversations, competitive research, regulatory analysis, and commercial evidence.
- Develop business cases for relevant product enhancements, new capabilities, integrations, or market-specific solutions.
- Provide Product teams with clear context around the customer problem, target industry, commercial opportunity, competitive landscape, and expected impact.
- Participate in product discovery for US-relevant initiatives and represent the regional customer and commercial perspective.
- Support validation and market adoption of new products or features once developed.
- Existing Customer Growth
- Work with Sales and Customer Success to understand product adoption across existing US customers.
- Identify products, features, geographies, or use cases customers could adopt beyond their current implementation.
- Surface credible cross-sell and upsell opportunities with a clear use case and product rationale.
- Identify product-related renewal risks, adoption gaps, or competitive threats before they become commercial issues.
- Support strategic account reviews and QBRs where product, market, regulatory, or roadmap discussions are required.
- Capture customer feedback and ensure recurring themes reach the appropriate Product teams.
- Help customers understand relevant new Shufti capabilities and how they apply to their business.
- Regional Product Ownership
- Act as the first point of contact for routine product and product-positioning questions from the US commercial team.
- Reduce unnecessary dependency on HQ teams during US working hours while maintaining alignment with Shufti’s global strategy.
- Coordinate effectively across US Sales, Solutions Engineering, Regional Marketing, Customer Success, Product, Product Marketing, Compliance, Engineering, Partnerships, and Commercial teams.
- Escalate specialist questions with sufficient context and ownership rather than simply forwarding requests.
- Maintain clear visibility of outstanding product blockers, market requirements, competitive threats, and commercial opportunities.
- Ensure insights from the US market systematically flow back into Shufti’s global Product and Product Marketing organisation.
Requirements
- 4+ years of experience across Product Marketing, Product Management, Solutions Consulting, Product Strategy, or another customer-facing product role, ideally within B2B SaaS, fintech, RegTech, identity, fraud, payments, or compliance technology.
- Strong ability to understand a customer problem and translate it into the appropriate product, use case, value proposition, and commercial narrative.
- Experience working directly with Sales, customers, and Product teams rather than operating solely as a central marketing function.
- Strong product orientation — able to understand workflows, capabilities, limitations, integrations, and competitive differentiation in sufficient depth to support customer conversations.
- Strong commercial judgement and understanding of how product positioning affects pipeline, win rates, expansion, and retention.
- Excellent research and analytical skills, with the ability to turn market signals into structured recommendations.
- Strong understanding of positioning, messaging, personas, ICPs, competitive intelligence, and sales enablement.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to communicate with executives, compliance teams, commercial stakeholders, and technical audiences.
- Ability to work independently as the regional product representative while knowing when specialist involvement from HQ is required.
- Strong ownership mindset — problems remain yours until the appropriate outcome or owner is established.
Nice to Have
- Experience with KYC, KYB, AML, identity verification, fraud prevention, payments, or financial crime technology.
- Understanding of US financial-services, fintech, gaming, crypto, marketplace, or other regulated-industry environments.
- Familiarity with US regulatory developments affecting identity, financial crime, fraud, privacy, or digital onboarding.
- Experience supporting enterprise RFPs, POCs, customer discovery, or complex B2B sales cycles.
- Experience conducting competitive and win/loss analysis.
- Experience influencing product roadmaps through market and customer evidence.
- Familiarity with HubSpot, Salesforce, ClickUp, product analytics, competitive-intelligence, or similar commercial/product tooling.
