Position Responsibilities

Role Summary

Deltek is moving from a portfolio of individual products to an integrated, AI-first platform for project-based businesses. The Director, AI Platform Product Marketing owns the story of that platform. This person turns a complex architecture and a fast-moving AI roadmap into a clear, credible narrative that customers, analysts, partners, and Deltek’s own teams can easily understand.

This product marketing leader will own the platform narrative and AI positioning that connects them, working across every Deltek industry, not inside one, to create one Deltek story. Industry-aligned PMM leads own the buyer and products in each vertical and will work closely with this platform product marketer to ensure a cohesive story across the business, industries and products.

What You’ll Do

Own and evolve Deltek’s platform narrative: the vision, the problem it solves, how the platform fits together, and why it matters to project-based businesses

Define AI positioning across the portfolio, including what Deltek says about AI, what it proves, and what it deliberately does not claim

Translate technical architecture and roadmap decisions into messaging that executives, buyers, and practitioners can understand

Build the core narrative assets: the platform story, executive messaging framework, point-of-view content, keynote and executive talk tracks, and proof points

Equip industry PMM leads, sales, and customer-facing teams with messaging they can adapt to their vertical, and keep it consistent as new products and releases ship

Partner with Product Management and Engineering to stay ahead of the roadmap, and with the GMs so the platform story strengthens each business unit’s positioning

Brief industry analysts and shape how they describe Deltek’s platform and AI strategy, in coordination with Analyst Relations

Work with Corporate Marketing on campaigns, events, and web so the platform story shows up consistently in market

Gather customer and market evidence, including adoption, outcomes, and competitive perception, and use it to sharpen the narrative

Establish how the narrative is governed: terminology, naming, claims, and the process for updating it as the platform evolves

Qualifications

What You’ll Bring

10+ years in product marketing, strategic communications, or analyst-facing roles, with significant experience in enterprise software, ideally platform, data, or AI products

A demonstrated record of building platform or category narratives that were adopted across a large organization

Exceptional writing and storytelling, with examples that show you can make complex technology simple without making it shallow

The credibility to work with engineers and architects, and the judgment to know which technical details belong in the story and which don’t

Experience presenting to executives, customers, and analysts, and shaping messaging for senior leaders

Comfort with ambiguity and with influencing without authority across Product, Engineering, Marketing, and business unit leadership

Strong command of the AI landscape, including how buyers evaluate AI claims, and sound judgment about credible versus inflated positioning

Preferred

Experience with ERP, project-based, or vertical software, or with government contracting or professional services buyers

Experience positioning a platform that integrates previously separate products

Prior work with industry analysts such as IDC or similar firms

Experience supporting executive keynotes or customer conference content

How Success Is Measured

A single platform and AI narrative adopted across all industry PMM teams, sales, and executive communications

Analyst and customer language that reflects Deltek’s intended positioning

Faster, more consistent launch messaging as new AI and platform capabilities ship

Industry PMM leads and GMs who view the narrative as an asset they use, not a constraint
