We’re looking for a B2B Product Marketing Specialist for our Test Automation portfolio of brands that will work within a successful and experienced marketing team to help grow the brands and strengthen their market presence. Ranorex is a leading low-code UI test automation tool that provides end-to-end testing of desktop, web and mobile applications. DesignWise is a cutting-edge test design platform that helps users deliver higher-quality software faster. Test Automation is one of the fastest-growing markets in software, and Ranorex prides itself as a leader in the market.
Our offices are located in Houston and Austin, TX; however, remote applicants may apply without a requirement for future relocation. We are a worldwide brand, therefore, bilingual and multilingual applicants (e.g. English, German, Spanish, etc.) are highly demanded.
This individual must embrace and enjoy working in a start-up environment with backing from a much larger entity. If you are used to complete delegation of responsibilities to others or slow rollout of programs, this is not the role for you. We are looking for a hands-on individual to drive revenue with tactical execution of our business model. The ability to multitask, adjust processes, work with both internal and external clients, and maintain a positive drive are extremely important. The ability to handle the pressure of deadlines and manage a pipeline of projects for multiple products and brands is a must.
