The role

About the Role We’re looking for a Competitive Intelligence Lead, a senior individual contributor reporting to the Head of Competitive Intelligence, to help operationalize and scale the company’s competitive intelligence capability. This person will own high-priority competitive analyses, executive-ready insights, and GTM enablement that help Product, Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and leadership understand where we win, where we’re vulnerable, and how the market is evolving. This is not a traditional research role. It is a hands-on strategy role at the intersection of Product, GTM, Research, and Leadership. You will turn competitor movements, customer feedback, product data, and market signals into clear recommendations that influence roadmap decisions, positioning, pricing, sales execution, and executive decision-making. What You'll Do - Partner with the Head of Competitive Intelligence to translate the company’s CI strategy into repeatable analyses, operating rhythms, executive materials, and GTM enablement. - Own high-priority competitor deep dives, market landscape reviews, pricing analyses, product comparisons, Harvey Ball assessments, feature matrices, and strategic opportunity/risk assessments. - Create executive-ready insights that inform product strategy, roadmap prioritization, GTM planning, pricing, and investment decisions. - Develop best-in-class competitive messaging, objection handling, battlecards, and enablement content for Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and Partnerships. - Monitor competitor product launches, model releases, acquisitions, partnerships, pricing changes, funding activity, customer announcements, and GTM motions. - Synthesize fast-moving and complex market information into clear implications, recommendations, and decision-ready narratives. - Partner closely with Product Management to identify areas of differentiation, competitive gaps, customer pain points, and emerging opportunities. - Collaborate with Marketing to sharpen
