VP, Product Marketing

Who We Are Having surpassed $300M ARR and continuing to grow, Optro is the leading audit, risk, ESG, and InfoSec platform on the market. More than 50% of the Fortune 500, including 7 of the Fortune 10, leverage our award-winning technology to move their businesses forward with greater clarity and agility. And our customers love us: Optro is top-rated on G2.com and Gartner Peer Insights. At Optro, we inspire each other to innovate and are proud of what we are producing. We spend each day thinking of new ways to help our customers and contribute to the greater good of our company and our surrounding communities. We are all about assisting each other and breaking through barriers to create the most loved audit, risk, ESG, and InfoSec platform by our customers. This is how we have become one of the 500 fastest-growing tech companies in North America for the seventh year in a row, as ranked by Deloitte! Why This Role is Exciting We are looking for a visionary executive to architect how Optro defines and dominates the connected risk and GRC category in the AI era. As AI reshapes enterprise software, we are moving beyond simple workflows to build the first GRC platform designed for agentic autonomy. Your challenge is to translate this profound technical evolution into a dominant market position, ensuring Optro isn't just a participant in the AI shift, but its primary leader. We are at a pivotal moment. What began as a category-defining tool for audit has evolved into a multi-domain connected risk platform. As the VP of Product Marketing, you will serve as the primary architect of our market presence and commercial strategy. You will lead the charge in re-positioning Optro from a legacy of record to a future-ready platform of intelligence. This is a high-impact transformation role for a leader who wants to bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI innovation and global market adoption. Crucially, you will be a strategic glue for the organization, working in lockstep with Product and Sales to ensure our innovation is matched by market-beating execution. You aren't just managing a team; you are developing the next generation of marketing leaders and shaping the future of an industry.
