Job Summary

OpenGov's Head of Platform Marketing owns the platform narrative for the Public Service Platform and ensures it lands consistently across every GTM touchpoint. This is a senior individual contributor role reporting to the SVP of Marketing, for an expert writer and presenter who understands how B2B SaaS businesses work and can make a complex platform story feel clear and compelling to government buyers, field teams, and executives alike.

Responsibilities

Platform Narrative

  • Own and evolve the platform narrative for the Public Service Platform, translating strategy into compelling content across every format: talk tracks, decks, video scripts, ad copy, onboarding material, and executive presentations
  • Define what the field needs to believe and say about the platform above the product-line level: the story that connects ERP, Community Ops, and AI into something a government buyer actually understands
  • Serve as the primary messaging counterpart to platform leadership: translating what is being built every week into content that resonates externally and keeps the field oriented as the platform evolves
  • Own the narrative for OG Assist as OpenGov's most strategic platform capability; multiple value propositions are emerging and this role ensures they land with clarity and specificity across every audience
  • Provide informed input on pricing and packaging decisions alongside platform leadership and growth marketing; brings the buyer and field perspective into those conversations without owning the outcome
  • Make AI capabilities feel practical and specific to government buyers, not like a feature list
  • Advise on platform narrative consistency across major external moments: analyst briefings, executive keynotes, conference presence

GTM Activation

  • Ensure the platform story is consistent everywhere it shows up: seller pitches, PS and CS decks, onboarding, analyst briefings, press, and customer stories
  • Set and hold the bar for what on-narrative content looks like; this is not about owning every output, it is about making sure nothing leaves misaligned
  • Resolve conflicts before content reaches the field: AEs, CSMs, PS, and Support will surface competing needs and this role makes the call
  • Create the conditions for GTM teams to stay excited about what we are building, not just informed about it; this person sets the pace and energy, not just the content
  • Drive adoption of new capabilities with sellers, implementation teams, and customers; adoption is the metric, not completion of a training session
  • Present and deliver directly when the moment calls for it; this person is credible in a room with AEs, CSMs, and executives alike
  • Guide and influence cross-functional partners on platform messaging without direct authority

Writing & Storytelling

  • Write copy that field teams read, believe, and use; not decks that get forgotten
  • Own the work that cannot be automated: the judgment call, the room read, the narrative that only lands because a human made it
  • Partner with growth marketers, comms, and product engineers to make sure launch moments land with the field, not just in a Slack announcement
  • Lead customer-facing content (stories, case studies, enablement materials) that reflects the platform story accurately

Requirements and Preferred Experience

  • 8+ years of experience in product marketing, platform marketing, or a GTM-adjacent role at a B2B SaaS company required
  • Expert ability to write with clarity and precision: takes complex platform stories and makes them feel specific and urgent to a buyer audience required
  • Deep understanding of how a SaaS business works: what drives pipeline, how AEs sell, how CSMs retain, what PS is actually doing in a deployment required
  • Technical fluency sufficient to work directly with product engineers and translate what they built into something a buyer cares about required
  • High agency: sees the gap, fills it, does not wait to be asked required
  • Exec presence: can own a room and deliver the story live, not just write it required
  • Demonstrated AI fluency: directs AI-assisted workflows, assesses output quality, and builds for augmentation rather than treating AI as a search engine required
  • Government technology or regulated industry experience preferred

Compensation:

Atlanta, GA: $170,000 - $190,000

On target ranges above include base plus a portion of variable compensation that is earned based on company and individual performance.

The final compensation will be determined by a number of factors such as qualifications, expertise, and the candidate’s geographical location.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
