3What this role really is

We see you

You sometimes wonder if AI will replace the need for human creativity in crafting messages. Yet, you know that understanding the human side of customer needs is something AI just can't grasp fully.

This entry-level role involves helping shape how products are described to customers. You gather information on what makes products useful, and learn how to turn that into clear messages. It suits anyone keen to get into product marketing and understand customer needs.

4A day in the life

Not a job advert. A real day, built from what this role actually holds.

08:45
You start your day by diving into competitor websites, looking for the latest updates that could influence your product's positioning.
11:00
You carefully listen to a customer interview recording, transcribing key insights that will shape your team's messaging strategy.
14:30
You spend some time updating the competitive battlecards, ensuring the sales team has the most accurate and up-to-date information.
16:00
You participate in a team workshop, applying the Value Proposition Canvas to refine your messaging frameworks.

5What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

Crayon / Kompyte (Competitive Intelligence) Basic

Navigating the platform to find competitor updates, pulling standard reports, and updating battlecard fields with provided data. You'll be using it to gather intel.

Qualtrics / SurveyMonkey (Customer Insights) Basic

Helping to draft simple surveys from templates, exporting raw data for review, and performing basic filtering in Excel or Google Sheets. You'll be handling the raw survey data.

Miro / Aha! (Collaboration & Roadmapping) Basic

Contributing to existing boards and roadmaps, documenting meeting notes, and organising user feedback thematically as directed. You'll be a contributor, not a designer.

Highspot / Seismic (Sales Enablement) Basic

Uploading and tagging content, building basic sales plays from templates, and tracking content usage metrics under supervision. You'll be helping to keep our sales content organised.

Tableau / Power BI (Data Visualisation) Basic

Viewing and interacting with pre-built dashboards, applying filters, and exporting data or visuals for presentations. You won't be building dashboards yet, just using them.

Asana / Monday.com (Project Management) Basic

Managing your personal tasks within larger projects, updating statuses, and attaching deliverables. This is how you'll keep track of your own work.

6What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing in Where you are nowThe step above
Competitive Intelligence Response Identify and flag new competitor features or pricing changes to your manager. Do not formulate a response. Propose initial messaging adjustments or sales counter-points based on new intel, subject to manager review. Design and lead the strategic response to significant competitive moves, including messaging, sales training, and potential product feedback.
Customer Insight Application Transcribe and summarise customer interviews, highlighting key pain points and requests for review. Analyse customer feedback to identify emerging trends and suggest specific messaging opportunities or product improvements. Translate deep customer insights into strategic recommendations that influence product roadmap and overall market positioning.
Messaging Content Creation Update existing battlecards or messaging documents with provided information, following templates. Draft first versions of messaging frameworks, sales enablement content, or website copy for a specific product or feature. Own the end-to-end messaging strategy and content creation for major product launches or market campaigns.

7How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Competitive Battlecard Update Accuracy
How many errors or omissions are found in the competitive battlecards you've updated.
Target · Fewer than 2 errors per 10 updates

You updated 15 battlecards this month. During review, only one minor detail was missed on a competitor's pricing, resulting in a 99.3% accuracy rate.

Customer Interview Transcription & Summary Timeliness
The percentage of interview transcripts and initial summaries delivered by the agreed deadline.
Target · 95% on-time delivery

You had 10 customer interviews to transcribe and summarise this quarter. You delivered 9 of them on time, with one delayed by a day. That's 90% on-time, so we'd look at why that one slipped.

Content Tagging & Organisation
The consistency and accuracy of tagging and organising marketing assets in our sales enablement platform.
Target · 90% adherence to established tagging guidelines

An audit of 50 pieces of content you've uploaded showed 45 were perfectly tagged and organised, while 5 had minor inconsistencies. That's 90% adherence, which is spot on.

Research Report Contribution Volume
The number of research data points, competitor updates, or customer insights you've contributed to larger team reports.
Target · Minimum of 10 distinct contributions per month

This month, you found 3 key competitor pricing changes, 4 new customer pain points from support tickets, and 3 relevant industry articles, hitting your target of 10 contributions.

Proactive Learning & Questioning
How often you ask thoughtful questions, seek clarification, and show initiative in understanding processes and context, rather than just waiting for instructions.
  • You'll ask 'why' we do things a certain way, suggest looking into a piece of data, or bring up something you read that's relevant. You're not afraid to admit when you don't know something and ask for help. Your manager won't have to chase you to understand a task.
Feedback Incorporation
How effectively you take on board feedback on your work and apply it to future tasks, showing a clear learning curve.
  • If we give you feedback on a summary, the next one will show you've applied those suggestions. You'll make fewer of the same mistakes over time. You'll ask for feedback on your drafts without being prompted.
Team Collaboration & Support
Your willingness to jump in and help team members, share information, and be a reliable pair of hands.
  • You'll offer to help with a task if you see someone struggling, share a useful article with the team, or be the first to volunteer for a new, less glamorous task. People will say you're easy to work with and a good team member.
Understanding of Core Concepts
Your developing grasp of key product marketing concepts like 'value proposition,' 'jobs-to-be-done,' and 'feature vs. benefit.'
  • You'll start using these terms correctly in discussions, and when you summarise customer feedback, you'll naturally categorise it using these frameworks. You'll be able to explain the difference between a feature and a benefit in your own words.

8Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Learning & Development

You'll actively seek out new information, ask for training on tools, and be eager to understand the 'why' behind tasks. You'll see every piece of feedback as a chance to get better, and you'll probably be taking notes constantly.

After updating a battlecard, you'll ask your manager to walk you through the strategic implications of a competitor's new feature, rather than just moving on to the next task.

Contributing to a Team

You enjoy being a reliable and helpful member of a team. You're happy to take on tasks that support others, and you get satisfaction from knowing your work helps the broader marketing effort succeed. You'll likely volunteer to help out if you see someone swamped.

When a big product launch is looming, you'll offer to help with the less glamorous tasks like organising assets or proofreading, knowing it frees up the senior team for more strategic work.

Seeing Your Work Used

Even if it's a small part, you get a kick out of seeing your research or a piece of messaging you helped draft actually appear in a sales presentation or on the website. You want your efforts to have a tangible impact, however small.

You've spent a few hours researching a competitor's new pricing model. When you see that data incorporated into a presentation that helps Sales win a deal, you feel a real sense of accomplishment.

What frustrates people
  • The 'Invention Engine' (learning to find the value in something the market didn't ask for).
  • Being the 'Launch Janitor' (getting pulled in late to help with messaging, but still learning to deal with it).
  • Repetitive tasks like data entry or transcription, which are necessary for building the bigger picture.
  • Not always seeing the immediate impact of your work, as it often feeds into larger projects.
  • Having to ask for clarification often, as you're still learning the jargon and processes.
What this role does not give you
  • Immediate strategic decision-making authority.
  • Full ownership of major product launches from start to finish.
  • A role where every day is completely different and unpredictable (there's a good amount of routine).
  • A chance to manage people or a budget right away.

9Who you work with

This role directly supports the creation of clear, compelling product messaging, which is crucial for our sales team to close deals and for customers to understand our offerings. Your work, though often behind the scenes, helps ensure our market communications are consistent and impactful, laying the groundwork for successful product launches and market penetration. Get it right, and you're helping us win; get it wrong, and we're just making noise.

Inside the business
  • Product Managers (for feature details)
  • Sales Enablement Team (for sales tools)
  • Product Marketing Managers (for messaging context)
  • Customer Success Team (for customer feedback)
Outside the business
  • Customers (through survey data and interview transcripts)
  • Market Analysts (through competitive reports)

10What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • A-Levels or equivalent vocational qualification (e.g., BTEC Level 3/4) OR a Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Business, Communications, or a related field.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
  • Basic proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) or Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides).
  • A genuine interest in technology products and understanding what makes them valuable to customers.
  • Some prior experience in a professional setting, even an internship or part-time role, demonstrating reliability and teamwork.

11What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Competitive Intelligence Platform Mastery (Crayon/Kompyte)

Moving beyond just pulling reports, you'll need to configure the platform to proactively track new competitors or market shifts, making you a more independent intel gatherer.

Advanced Search & Filtering · Dashboard Customisation · Alert Configuration · Battlecard Template Utilisation

  • This week: Explore all the different report types available in Crayon/Kompyte.
  • This month: Try to set up a custom alert for a specific competitor's news.
  • Month 2: Work with a senior team member to understand how they configure their dashboards.
  • Month 3: Suggest a new way to track a specific competitor metric using the platform's features.

Quick win: Spend 15 minutes each day just exploring the platform, clicking on different sections, and seeing what it can do. You'll stumble upon features you didn't know existed.

Customer Insights Tool Proficiency (Qualtrics/SurveyMonkey)

You'll move from just exporting data to actually designing simple surveys and performing more in-depth analysis of the results to uncover actionable insights.

Survey Design Best Practices · Basic Statistical Analysis · Segmentation · Reporting & Visualisation

  • This week: Review past surveys in Qualtrics/SurveyMonkey to understand their structure.
  • This month: Help draft a new survey by suggesting questions for a specific topic.
  • Month 2: Practice analysing a small dataset from a past survey, looking for interesting patterns.
  • Month 3: Take an online tutorial on basic survey design and data analysis.

Quick win: When you're asked to export survey data, take an extra 10 minutes to play around with the filtering options and see what different segments reveal.

12Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Attending industry webinars or online courses on product marketing, customer research, or competitive intelligence.
  • Reading marketing blogs (e.g., Pragmatic Institute, Product Marketing Alliance) to stay up-to-date on trends and best practices.
  • Participating in internal training sessions on our products and target markets.
  • Seeking out a mentor within the Marketing team to learn from their experience.
  • Practising your writing skills by contributing to internal newsletters or team updates.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, some parts of an Associate role can be a bit repetitive. But what if you could offload some of that grunt work to AI? Imagine spending less time on manual tasks and more time on the interesting bits – like actually understanding what customers are saying. That's exactly what AI can do for you here.

We're not talking about robots taking over your job. We're talking about smart tools that act like your personal assistant, helping you get through the more tedious parts of competitive research, customer feedback analysis, and even drafting initial messaging. This means you can focus your brainpower on learning, connecting the dots, and adding real value, rather than just crunching data.

Customer Interview Auto-Analysis

Instead of manually transcribing hours of customer calls, use AI tools like Gong or Fathom. They'll automatically transcribe, summarise, and even highlight key themes like pain points, competitor mentions, and feature requests. You'll spend your time reviewing the AI's output and pulling out the real insights, not typing.

Competitive Sentiment Monitoring

Forget spending hours manually sifting through review sites. Point an AI analysis tool at G2, Capterra, or Reddit, and it'll perform real-time sentiment analysis on competitor reviews. You'll get weekly summaries of what their customers love and hate, giving you a massive head start on understanding the market landscape.

First-Draft Messaging Generation

Staring at a blank page can be tough. Feed AI models (like Claude or GPT-4) your raw customer interview transcripts, product specs, and competitive intel. It can then generate multiple first-draft versions of value propositions, messaging pillars, or even email subject lines for different personas. You'll then refine and polish, rather than starting from scratch.

'Voice of the Customer' Synthesis

Use AI to connect and analyse unstructured data from multiple sources – support tickets, survey verbatims, CRM notes. It can help you identify the top 5 emerging customer issues or value drivers across the entire customer base. This gives you a macro view that's almost impossible to create manually, helping you spot trends faster.
