  You will help ensure that all standard assets throughout the funnel are kept up to date, with quality, and following best practices. You will write, author, video, PowerPoint - communicate your product's story in every format, and review other work that carries your messaging.
• Bring market and competitive intelligence, targeting, and segmentation information into your plan, and share it with your Product colleagues.
