3What this role really is

This job means shaping how a product or market segment is understood, from sales teams to customers. It involves researching customer needs and competitor positioning, then turning product features into clear, convincing messages.

4What you'd actually use

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

Crayon / Kompyte (Competitive Intelligence) Intermediate

Managing your personal tasks within larger projects, updating statuses, and attaching deliverables. You'll also start building and managing entire project plans for smaller product launches, assigning tasks, and reporting on progress.

5What 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
Messaging & Positioning Populate templates with provided data; escalate all messaging decisions. Draft initial value proposition statements and messaging pillars for review. Recommend messaging adjustments based on customer feedback. Own competitive talking points for a specific product. Design and approve core messaging for major product launches. Challenge product assumptions based on market evidence. Define messaging hierarchy for a product portfolio.
Competitive Intelligence Update competitor profiles with provided information. Pull standard reports from Crayon/Kompyte. Independently monitor assigned competitors, identify key shifts, and update battlecards. Propose new competitive research areas. Define competitive intelligence strategy for a product line. Conduct deep-dive competitive analysis to inform strategic product decisions. Train sales on advanced competitive selling.
Customer Research Transcribe interviews; organise feedback as directed. Draft simple survey questions from templates. Design and conduct customer interviews (qualitative). Analyse survey results and identify key trends. Present initial findings to internal teams. Design comprehensive Win/Loss analysis programmes. Synthesise qualitative and quantitative research into actionable insights for product roadmap. Present research findings to leadership.
Content & Sales Enablement Upload and tag content. Build basic sales plays from templates under supervision.

Design and build comprehensive sales plays for major launches. Develop dynamic content strategies. Analyse content performance to drive significant improvements in sales effectiveness.

6How 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.

Content Adoption Rate (for your segment)
Percentage of sales reps using your battlecards, messaging guides, and sales plays in Highspot/Seismic.
Target · 70% usage within 3 months of launch

If you launch a new battlecard for Product X, we'd expect 7 out of 10 sales reps selling Product X to have viewed or shared it within the first quarter.

Win/Loss Interview Volume
Number of structured interviews conducted with customers who recently bought or chose not to buy our product (or a competitor's).
Target · 5-8 interviews per quarter for your assigned product/segment

You'll aim to complete 6 in-depth calls with sales reps or customers each quarter to really understand why deals are won or lost.

Messaging Guide Completion & Accuracy
Timeliness and factual correctness of your core messaging documents (e.g., value proposition statements, messaging pillars).
Target · 95% accuracy; 100% on-time delivery for scheduled updates

Your updated messaging guide for the Q2 product release was delivered a week early and had zero factual errors or inconsistencies when reviewed by Product.

Competitive Battlecard Updates
Frequency and quality of updates to competitive battlecards in Crayon/Kompyte for your assigned segment.
Target · All battlecards updated within 24 hours of a major competitor announcement; 98% accuracy.

When Competitor Y announced their new feature last Tuesday, your battlecard was updated by Wednesday morning, giving sales the talking points they needed immediately.

Sales Team Feedback & Confidence
How confident and well-equipped sales reps feel using your messaging and content in their conversations.
  • Sales reps proactively ask for your input on challenging deals. They tell your manager that your materials genuinely help them. You're invited to sales team meetings to share updates, not just present.
Product Team Collaboration Quality
How effectively you work with Product Managers to understand new features and influence their understanding of market needs.
  • Product Managers seek your input early in the development cycle. They incorporate your market insights into their feature prioritisation. You're seen as a trusted partner, not just a 'messaging person'.
Clarity of Messaging
How easy it is for internal and external audiences to understand the core value of your product/segment.
  • New hires quickly grasp the product's value. Customers articulate the benefits back to us in their own words. External partners (like agencies) can easily translate your messaging into campaigns without much back-and-forth.
Proactive Market Insight Sharing
Your ability to bring new, relevant market and competitive insights to the team without being asked.
  • You share interesting competitor moves or customer feedback in team meetings. You flag potential market shifts before they become problems. Your manager says, 'That's a really good point, I hadn't thought of that.'

7Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Solving Customer Problems

You get a real buzz from understanding a customer's pain point and then crafting a message that clearly shows how our product fixes it. You love those 'aha!' moments in customer interviews.

Spending an afternoon sifting through customer feedback, finding a common thread, and then seeing that insight turn into a powerful new messaging point for a sales pitch.

Influencing Business Outcomes

You're not just creating documents; you want to see your work actually help sales close deals or improve conversion rates. You're driven by the tangible impact your words have.

Getting feedback from a sales rep that a specific battlecard you created helped them overcome a competitor objection and win a £50K deal.

Continuous Learning & Improvement

The market is always changing, and you love staying on top of it. You enjoy learning about new competitors, market trends, and product features, then figuring out how to adapt our story.

Diving into a new competitive report and immediately seeing how we can tweak our messaging to highlight a new differentiator.

What frustrates people
  • The 'Invention Engine': Product teams that are incentivised to ship features, often creating solutions in search of a problem, forcing you to reverse-engineer a value prop for something the market never asked for.
  • Sales Team Amnesia: Spending weeks training the sales team on new messaging, only to hear them using the old, comfortable pitch on their next call. It's like Groundhog Day.
  • The Subjective Feedback Loop: Getting feedback on messaging from executives that amounts to 'I don't like the sound of it,' with no strategic rationale, forcing you to navigate political preferences instead of market data.
  • Being the 'Launch Janitor': Getting pulled into a product launch at the last minute because 'we need a value prop,' with no time for proper research, and then being held accountable for its market reception.
  • Dilution by Committee: Crafting a sharp, powerful message only to see it watered down to a meaningless platitude as every stakeholder department (Legal, Brand, PR, etc.) adds their input.
  • The Fight for Research: Constantly having to build a business case to justify the time and budget for essential Win/Loss analysis or customer interviews—even though everyone agrees it's important.
What this role does not give you
  • A quiet, solitary role with minimal interaction—you'll be talking to people constantly.
  • A job where you're always told exactly what to do—you'll need to figure out a lot for yourself.
  • A role with direct reports or management responsibilities at this level.
  • A position where every single piece of your work makes it to market exactly as you designed it.

8Who you work with

This role directly impacts our ability to communicate value effectively, which in turn influences sales pipeline, conversion rates, and overall market perception for a specific product or segment. Get it right, and you'll help sales close deals faster. Get it wrong, and you'll make their job a lot harder.

Inside the business
  • Product Managers (for your assigned product/segment)
  • Sales Enablement Team
  • Marketing Campaign Managers
  • Customer Success Managers
  • Regional Sales Leaders
Outside the business
  • Customers (for interviews and feedback)
  • Industry Analysts (occasionally for research)
  • Market Research Vendors

9What you need before you start

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

  • Proven experience (2-5 years) in a marketing, product marketing, or market research role, preferably within a B2B SaaS environment.
  • Demonstrable experience in conducting customer interviews or qualitative research and synthesising findings.
  • Experience in creating or updating competitive analysis documents or sales enablement materials.
  • A solid grasp of what a 'value proposition' is and why it's important, even if you haven't owned one end-to-end yet.
  • Proficiency with at least two of the digital tools mentioned (e.g., a competitive intelligence platform, a survey tool, or a sales enablement platform).

10What to practise next

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

Crayon / Kompyte Mastery

You'll move beyond basic updates to becoming the go-to expert for competitive intelligence for your product area. This means configuring advanced tracking, building custom dashboards, and proactively identifying emerging threats or opportunities that impact our messaging.

Advanced Search & Filtering · Custom Dashboard Creation · Competitive Scenario Planning

  • This quarter: Explore all advanced features in Crayon/Kompyte; aim to build one custom dashboard.
  • Next 6 months: Propose and implement a new competitive tracking category or methodology.
  • Next 9 months: Train a new team member on advanced use of the platform for competitive analysis.

Quick win: Set up a new, highly specific alert in Crayon/Kompyte for a niche competitor or a specific feature area you're interested in.

Qualtrics / SurveyMonkey Advanced Design & Analysis

As you own more of the customer research, you'll need to design more sophisticated surveys and analyse the data with greater statistical rigour. This ensures your insights are robust and trustworthy.

Advanced Survey Logic & Branching · Statistical Significance · Segmentation Analysis

  • This quarter: Design a survey with at least two levels of branching logic.
  • Next 6 months: Learn the basics of statistical analysis for survey data (e.g., in Excel or a basic stats tool).
  • Next 9 months: Lead a project where you design, deploy, and analyse a customer survey end-to-end, presenting the statistically significant findings.

Quick win: Review a past survey you've worked on and identify 2-3 ways its design could be improved using more advanced logic.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly read industry blogs and publications (e.g., Product Marketing Alliance, Forrester, Gartner) to stay on top of market trends and best practices.
  • Attend webinars or virtual conferences on topics like competitive intelligence, customer research, or value-based selling.
  • Participate in internal training sessions on our products, sales processes, and customer engagement strategies.
  • Seek out opportunities to shadow sales calls or customer success interactions to deepen your understanding of customer challenges.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Imagine having a super-assistant that handles the tedious, repetitive parts of your job, freeing you up to focus on the really interesting stuff – like crafting brilliant stories and understanding customers. That's what AI can do for you in this role. We're not talking about replacing you; we're talking about making you incredibly more effective.

In the world of product value propositions, AI isn't just a buzzword; it's a game-changer. It can help you cut through mountains of data, spot patterns you'd never see manually, and even kickstart your creative process. Here's how you'll use AI to make a real impact, right from day one:

Customer Interview Auto-Analysis

Use AI tools like Gong or Fathom to automatically transcribe, summarise, and identify key themes (pain points, competitor mentions, feature requests) from dozens of customer interviews and sales calls. No more endless hours of manual note-taking or trying to remember who said what. The AI does the heavy lifting, giving you the insights you need, fast.

Competitive Sentiment Monitoring

Point an AI analysis tool at review sites like G2, Capterra, and even Reddit to perform real-time sentiment analysis on competitor reviews. Automatically generate weekly summaries of their customers' biggest complaints and praises. You'll get an instant pulse on the market without manually scouring hundreds of pages, helping you fine-tune our battlecards.

First-Draft Messaging Generation

Feed AI models (like Claude or GPT-4) with raw customer interview transcripts, product specs, and competitive intel. Prompt it to generate multiple first-draft versions of a value proposition, messaging pillars, and email subject lines for different personas. This accelerates the initial 'blank page' problem, giving you a strong starting point to refine and perfect.

Voice of the Customer Synthesis

Use AI to connect and analyse unstructured data from multiple sources (support tickets from Zendesk, survey verbatims from Qualtrics, CRM notes from Salesforce). Identify the top 5 emerging customer issues or value drivers across the entire customer base. This provides a macro view that is nearly impossible to create manually, giving you powerful insights for your value proposition.
