ABOUT BRIGHTSOLID

We are a high-growth Managed Service Provider (MSP) with a strong reputation across Scotland and an expanding presence across the UK. With data centres in Dundee and Aberdeen, we’re recognised as one of Scotland’s leading IT brands. Our portfolio has evolved to include public cloud, backup-as-a-service, cybersecurity, colocation, networking, and private cloud solutions. 

In April, we accelerated our growth by acquiring Synergi, a Newcastle-based Microsoft specialist. This strategic move expanded our consulting capabilities, strengthened our Microsoft offering, and added 60 experts to the Brightsolid team. 

As our Product Marketing Manager, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping and executing our product marketing strategy. You’ll help us better understand our customers and prospects, ensuring our services meet their evolving needs in a competitive market. This is a dynamic, high-impact role with real ownership and visibility across the business. 

You’ll work closely with sales, marketing, product, and technical teams to translate complex solutions into compelling, digestible narratives. Your ability to use data for insight, storytelling, and decision-making will be key to driving growth and differentiation. 

What we're offering

As well as a competitive remuneration and benefits package, we’ll give you the freedom to do what you do best and all the tools and support you need to succeed. We have an open, empowering culture and you will be a key part of a very dynamic sales and marketing team. 

What you’ll do 

• Market Definition: Help define Brightsolid’s target market by product and articulate segments aligned to customer need.
• Go-To-Market (GTM): Develop and implement go to market strategies for Brightsolid’s products and services.
• Win/Loss Analysis: Understand, monitor, measure and communicate why prospects did or did not buy Brightsolid’s services and use the information to continually refine and improve our go to market strategies.

• Solutions Roadmap: Work collaboratively with the CCO, CTO and other key stakeholders to agree, create and maintain the solutions roadmap, ensuring alignment with customer needs and market trends.

• Events: Provide product and market expertise for events such as conferences, tradeshows, webinars and seminars.
• Sales: Provide ongoing support for the sales team, including messaging guidance, collateral (leaflets, slide decks, eBooks, proposals), battlecards and support to accelerate opportunities through the pipeline.
• Performance Reporting: Track and report on effectiveness of go-to-market efforts, sales enablement support and campaign performance and share insights with key stakeholders regularly.
• Market Insights: Gather market intelligence across key industries and stakeholder groups to identify trends, drivers, pain points and opportunities by Brightsolid’s key verticals and by persona, with insights used to inform product positioning, messaging, sales enablement and GTM strategy.
• Partner Solutions: Work with technology partners to align Brightsolid solutions with partner solutions. Support with joint go-to-market activities, ensuring Brightsolid’s messaging complements partner positioning and support on creation of co-branded collateral or enablement materials, where appropriate.
