Job Snapshot

Mindtickle is looking for a hands-on Principal PMM – Field who can translate Mindtickle’s full portfolio (Platform + AI + Agentic + Services) into customer-specific stories, demos, and expansion plays that land with executive stakeholders and frontline teams. This role is built for the post-sale motion: driving renewals, upgrades, expansion, and churn saves by ensuring customers understand—and adopt—the full value of Mindtickle (beyond “an LMS”).

In addition, you will own competitive differentiation in the post-sale context—arming Client Partners, Expansion AEs, and champion customers to win competitive scenarios, protect the install base, and unlock whitespace—while co-authoring and standardizing thought-leadership assets that elevate Mindtickle’s strategic partner positioning.
What You Will Own
  • Customer-specific value story & messaging (core JTBD)
  • Build tailored account narratives that connect Mindtickle capabilities + roadmap to the customer’s business priorities, success metrics, and workflow reality.
  • Reframe misconceptions (e.g., “expensive LMS”) into a platform outcomes story: readiness, productivity, coaching, content effectiveness, and AI-driven skill change.
  • Create executive-ready “why Mindtickle now” positioning for renewal/expansion decision-makers.

  • Expansion, renewal, upgrade, and churn-save plays
  • Own the playbook and execution support for high-stakes situations:
  • --> Churn saves: change the narrative, re-architect the solution, and drive an adoption/value reset plan.
  • --> Renewals & upgrades: package the right capabilities into a clear value ladder and commercial rationale.
  • --> Expansion: identify whitespace (teams, geos, use cases) and define the path to value realization.
  • Partner with Client Partners to run “save / expand” pursuits with clear strategy, assets, and stakeholder mapping.

  • Portfolio-to-account solutioning (including “coexist then consolidate”)
  • Build and communicate “land-with-what-they-have” and “consolidate-over-time” paths, especially where customers already use best-of-breed tools (e.g., Gong, Seismic).
  • Clearly articulate:
  • 1) what value they can unlock today alongside their stack, and
  • 2) what incremental value they unlock by consolidating workflows and AI into Mindtickle over time—without requiring 1:1 feature parity.

  • Hands-on product leadership in the field (demo + enablement + thought leadership)
  • Be credible as a practitioner: know the product in and out, run tailored demos, and coach Client Partners/SCs on demo flows and talk tracks.
  • Create and maintain a library of post-sale customer-facing assets: account pitch decks, value maps, adoption blueprints, executive readouts, and ROI narratives.
  • Work closely with Product leadership & CX leadership to Co-author and standardize thought-leadership materials that elevate Mindtickle’s strategic partner positioning with customers, including (at minimum):
  • --> Value framework (outcomes taxonomy + leading indicators)
  • --> Maturity model (capability ladder for Enablement → Behavior change → AI coaching/agentic workflows)
  • --> QBR executive decks (standard storyline + modular proof points)
  • --> Success Plan blueprint (12-month operating plan template tied to adoption + business impact)
  • Standard “customer POV” narratives that are reusable across industries but configurable per account.

  • Competitive differentiation + install-base defense (post-sale competitive ownership)
  • Develop and continuously refine competitive differentiation narratives grounded in customer stories and product innovation (not feature-by-feature parity).
  • Equip and support Client Partners, Expansion AEs, and champion customers to navigate competitive scenarios and acquire whitespace:
  • --> Competitive talk tracks, objection handling, land/expand wedges, and “why switch/why consolidate” narratives
  • --> Competitive-ready executive readouts (positioning + proof + risk reversal) for renewal and expansion moments
  • Protect the install base against competitive threats by proactively monitoring competitive activity in strategic accounts and driving “block strategies,” including:
  • --> Account-level threat assessment + stakeholder mapping + counter-positioning plan
  • --> Proof-point packaging (references, outcomes, adoption stories) and “executive escalation kits”
  • --> Coordination with Product/PMM on roadmap framing and with Services/Support on delivery-risk mitigation

  • Voice-of-customer loop into Product + PMM
  • Systematically capture patterns from churn/renewal/expansion cycles and translate them into:
  • messaging updates,
  • packaging guidance,
  • enablement improvements, and
  • product feedback with clear business impact.
  • Partner with Product and Domain PMMs to ensure roadmap narratives are usable in customer conversations, not just internal documents.
  • Key Partners
  • Add these explicitly to your existing list to match the new ownership areas:
  • Expansion AEs / Renewals / Post-sale Sales: joint ownership of competitive strategy in renewal/expansion pursuits; whitespace conversion.
  • Customer Marketing / Advocacy: turn champion customers + outcomes into usable competitive proof, references, and executive-ready stories.
  • Product Marketing (Competitive/AR if applicable): align category narrative, competitive POV, and market-level differentiation with field learnings.
  • Success Metrics
  • Keep your existing metrics, and add the following two lines so competitive + thought leadership are measurable (and not “nice-to-have”):
  • Competitive outcomes influenced: competitive renewals/expansions supported; win-rate improvement in competitive scenarios; # of install-base competitive threats neutralized (documented).
  • Thought leadership adoption: reuse rate of value framework/maturity model / QBR deck / Success Plan blueprint in strategic account motions; CP/AE satisfaction and exec-level engagement outcomes.
  • Everything You Need, One Platform.
