Over the next decade, analysts predict nearly a BILLION users in Small and Mid-sized businesses will embrace digital transformation. Service providers will spend nearly 600 million hours of labor in processes that are inefficient, non-secure, and technically complex. Technical talent is in short supply and margins are under constant pressure, so throwing bodies at the problem is not a sustainable solution. The ITSP technology market is ripe for disruption!
Launched in 2020, SkyKick Cloud Manager created a new category of low-code and no-code automation that is changing the state of play for the 100,000 strong Cloud IT service provider community. ITSPs are using this automation to reduce support costs, strengthen security, and improve customer satisfaction in their SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS Cloud Operations. Equally as important, Cloud Manager is helping ITSP increase revenue and relevance with customers. For instance, Security is a top concern for 72% of SMB customers, but fewer than 10% of ITSPs have the required specialized skills and expertise to offer Cybersecurity services. With Cloud Manager, mainstream MSPs have been able to step up and confidently offer lucrative services like Cybersecurity, Microsoft Teams, and multi-SaaS cloud administration. Since its launch, the product has enjoyed exceptional growth and market acceptance.
Looking ahead, there is immense potential but also meaty challenges that need creative marketing strategy and relentless execution. In seeking to automate the $500B SMB IT services market, the addressable potential and opportunity is significant. In fact, Microsoft claims that only about 90K of the roughly 500K IT Service Providers worldwide have moved to the cloud, so we are in early innings of an organic growth opportunity.
If you are a SaaS marketing Rockstar with a general manger mindset, this is an opportunity to bring your business acumen and marketing muscle to a true 4Ps marketing role to write the next chapter in Cloud Automation. This senior role reports to the global head of Product & Partner Marketing and is part of a team that is at the bleeding edge of SaaS marketing excellence and experimentation.
As the leader of product marketing for the Cloud Management & Security business, you will think across Business Strategy, Market Research, Positioning & Messaging, Sales Enablement, & Overall Go-to-market execution.
Above all, you will need to be passionate about simplifying the complex and excited to catalyze the next wave of innovation in cloud computing and the IT solution space. You will use your varied experiences to earn trust with Product & Sales teams and then use your Product Marketing craft to translate the product innovation into GTM programs that amplify sales.
