Marketing Associate V

RESPONSIBILITIES:
A client with Kforce is seeking a Marketing Associate V to join their team in Mountain View, CA.

Overview:
We are looking for a Principal Marketing Manager to help operationalize commercial innovation across a multi-product ecosystem. This role sits at the intersection of monetization strategy, cross-functional coordination, and capability enablement. You will partner across Product, Finance, GTM Tech, Billing, Rev Rec, Legal, Ops, and Marketing to ensure that commercial strategy translates into scalable systems, clear business requirements, and launch-ready execution.

You will also drive the Commercial Innovation Forum - a cross-functional working model designed to create visibility, alignment, and sequencing across new commercial packaging initiatives and product launches. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in complexity, brings structure to ambiguity, and can influence across teams without direct authority.

Key Tasks:
Operationalize Commercial Strategy:
*Translate pricing, packaging, and promotional strategy into structured business requirements that can be implemented across systems
* Partner with Product and Finance to define how new commercial constructs should function operationally (e.g., cross-product incentives, trials, multi-product discounts, upgrade/downgrade logic)
* Ensure commercial models work across multiple billing platforms, entitlement systems, and product categories

Define key operational rules such as:
* Discount eligibility and duration
* Cancellation and downgrade logic
* Feature embedding or SKU transitions
* Promotional guardrails and margin considerations
* Proactively engage Rev Rec and Legal early to ensure accounting and compliance requirements are addressed before launch
* Identify technical and process dependencies that may impact timelines or feasibility, and drive alignment across stakeholders
* Support test-and-learn commercialization efforts by ensuring offers are structurally sound and measurable

REQUIREMENTS:
* Bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of education and experience
* 10+ years of experience in marketing strategy, monetization, business operations, or product commercialization
* Demonstrated success driving complex initiatives in a matrixed organization
* Experience translating strategy into structured business requirements
* Strong facilitation skills and ability to influence without direct authority
* Ability to synthesize detailed operational discussions into clear leadership-level communication
* Systems thinker who understands how pricing, billing, product capabilities, and customer experience interconnect
