Equifax, Inc.
Product Marketing Specialist - Risk Solutions (Finance)
Know the customer. Know the Magic. Connect the two!
As a Risk Product Marketing Specialist, you are responsible for making your products “fly-off the shelf.”
This role is not about demos or presenting product features - although these may sometimes occur. In this role, you will act as the "quarterback" and guide marketing activities that drive results for your portfolio. You are the product evangelist and will play an integral role in driving marketing support of existing products, product bundles and new product launches.
You know our competitors like the back of your hand: what they do today and what they plan to do in the future. You also know our buyers better than they know themselves, including how they make their buying decisions. This isn't guesswork. You back up strategic insights with market evidence and then use that knowledge to drive the development of positioning and messaging that resonates with buyers and empowers our sales channels to be successful.
You will collaborate with Product Management, Sales and Marketing teams (Demand Generation, Industry Marketing) to develop innovative programs that drive demand. An attention to detail and eye for quality are critical to your success, along with an ability to grasp and present our product's value proposition in a way that resonates and clearly articulates how we solve our buyers' problems. You are obsessed with tracking performance, and have the data to prove what's working and what isn't.
Collaboration is key - and it's a balancing act that requires strong diplomatic skills, including knowing to push back and when to dive in.
At Equifax, we believe knowledge drives progress. As a global data, analytics and technology company, we play an essential role in the global economy by helping employers, employees, financial institutions and government agencies make critical decisions with greater confidence.
We work to help create seamless and positive experiences during life's pivotal moments: applying for jobs or a mortgage, financing an education or buying a car. Our impact is real and to accomplish our goals we focus on nurturing our people for career advancement and their learning and development, supporting our next generation of leaders, maintaining an inclusive and diverse work environment, and regularly engaging and recognizing our employees. Regardless of location or role, the individual and collective work of our employees makes a difference and we are looking for talented team players to join us as we help people live their financial best.
We offer excellent compensation packages with market competitive pay, comprehensive healthcare packages, 401k matching, schedule flexibility, work from home opportunities, paid time off, and organizational growth potential.
