Director, Market and Competitive Intelligence

Box

At Box, we’re changing the way businesses of all sizes collaborate, manage, and govern content. As a Senior Product Marketing Manager on the Market and Competitive Intelligence Team within Product Marketing you’ll be responsible for market and competitive analysis, tools, campaigns, and strategic deal support for sales and customer success as Box pivots more into the ECM world.

You have a hunger for not just beating the competition, but for deeply understanding how Box is differentiated from each player in the on-premises, hybrid, and cloud ECM spaces and how to use that knowledge to help Box win. You will know the enterprise file sync and share and content management markets like the back of your hand. Yet, you will also bring a fresh, new perspective for how customer, market and partner requirements are evolving today.

You’ll partner closely with sales, product marketing, business development, customer success, product management, and our executive team. You will work directly with customers like P&G, Astra Zeneca, and Walmart – to help make Box the industry standard for Cloud Content Management and remain a market leader. This is an individual contributor role with potential room for management expansion.
