About the role:
We’re looking for an exceptional Senior Product Marketing Manager, Vertical Solutions to own and scale Cresta’s positioning, messaging, and GTM strategy across a portfolio of industries, led by Travel & Hospitality and Telecommunications. This is not a single-vertical role. It’s for a solutions marketer who has worked inside a mature, multi-industry go-to-market motion and knows how to build vertical marketing as a repeatable system: one that gives each industry a sharp, credible story and scales as Cresta adds more. You’ll report to the VP of Product Marketing and play a critical role in how Cresta positions, sells, and grows across several of its most important verticals.

Responsibilities:

  • You’ll own the development and continuous refinement of Cresta’s positioning and messaging for Travel & Hospitality, Telecommunications, and more, translating our platform capabilities into clear, differentiated industry narratives that resonate with buyers, operators, and executives in each
  • You’ll build the repeatable vertical playbook (a common framework for industry narratives, personas, use cases, proof points, and enablement) and apply it across the covered verticals, so each gets high-quality coverage and new verticals can be added efficiently
  • You’ll help establish Cresta as a thought leader in each covered industry, shaping the market conversation around the future of AI-powered customer experience through strategic content, industry events, analyst engagement, and customer storytelling
  • You’ll develop and maintain deep buyer personas for each covered vertical, advancing our internal understanding of industry-specific pain points, priorities, and decision dynamics to ensure our messaging drives relevance and confidence in deals
  • You’ll partner closely across product, sales, solutions, and marketing, serving as the connective tissue to build and execute industry-specific go-to-market strategies that accelerate pipeline and revenue growth
  • You’ll bring new product capabilities and innovations to market through an industry lens, leading vertical launches and creating the sales enablement and supporting materials needed to drive adoption and impact
  • Your deep understanding of how our wins and losses vary by industry, use case, and buyer will give you a data-driven point of view to influence roadmap priorities, sharpen our positioning, and guide where Cresta deepens its vertical investment over time
  • You love to move fast, get your hands dirty, and solve open-ended problems, balancing strategic thinking with hands-on execution to help Cresta win across complex, high-impact industries

Qualifications:

  • At least 7 years of product marketing or solutions marketing experience, including meaningful time in an industry or solutions marketing role at a company with a mature, multi-vertical go-to-market motion
  • Demonstrated experience covering multiple industries simultaneously, including building repeatable vertical frameworks and ramping quickly on new industries
  • Domain knowledge and experience marketing to least one of Travel & Hospitality or Telecommunications
  • Experience managing cross-functional or cross-team projects
  • Excellent communication skills and comfortable presenting in executive-level settings
  • Excellent research skills and experience producing data-driven market analysis
  • Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Business Administration, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience in software categories related to contact centers, customer experience, and AI Agents
  • Experience marketing to Home Services, Utilities, or Retail
  • Experience in hypergrowth scale-ups
