INTRODUCTION
We help the world run better
At SAP, we keep it simple: you bring your best to us, and we'll bring out the best in you. We're builders touching over 20 industries and 80% of global commerce, and we need your unique talents to help shape what's next. The work is challenging – but it matters. You'll find a place where you can be yourself, prioritize your wellbeing, and truly belong. What's in it for you? Constant learning, skill growth, great benefits, and a team that wants you to grow and succeed.
Job title: Product Marketing Expert
What you’ll build
We are seeking a visionary, high-impact marketing expert to define and elevate the solution story for SAP Customer Experience (CX). This role will own the narrative strategy, translating complex offerings into clear, compelling messaging that drives engagement with customers, partners and key market audiences.
As the voice behind SAP CX, you will shape the overarching narrative across the product portfolio — Marketing, Commerce, Sales and Service—breaking down silos to craft messaging frameworks that convey the value of SAP CX as a unified, autonomous system that connects and executes end-to-end customer experiences.
This role will connect the Autonomous CX narrative and business domain to the broader SAP Autonomous Enterprise Suite, ensuring seamless integration of messaging and AI-driven storytelling that highlights how AI assistants and agents act on unified business data to orchestrate and execute customer journeys across the enterprise.
You will develop high-impact content, presentations, and executive storytelling that position SAP CX as a leader in the market and demonstrate the value of its end-to-end, connected, and outcome-driven solutions alongside SAP ERP and business operations.
This role ensures SAP CX’s value proposition is consistently and creatively integrated across all channels and touchpoints—web, events, thought leadership, campaigns, sales enablement, and solution plays—helping customers and prospects clearly understand the transformative power of running CX as one autonomous system across the SAP ecosystem.
Messaging & Narrative Development
- Own the master storyline. Define the “why us” and “why now” across all CX products with messaging frameworks and narrative documents, grounded in SAP’s vision of CX as a single, AI-powered autonomous system.
- Develop persona-based and vertical messaging frameworks that guide content creation for different buyers, audiences and markets, showing how AI-driven orchestration improves business outcomes across marketing, commerce, sales, and service.
- Lead message validation and refinement through advanced market research and AI-driven testing tools.
- Track and report SAP CX brand accolades and momentum metrics, delivering quarterly updates to strengthen solution positioning and storytelling impact.
- Create and maintain the “source of truth” messaging and content “toolkit” so GTM, Campaigns, Field Marketing and Executive Communications can tailor content without breaking the story—ensuring consistency around the Autonomous CX narrative and value pillars.
Content Creation
- Architect the core pitch deck. Be the owner of the master narrative deck used across all teams, updating it as strategy evolves to reflect Autonomous CX innovation and AI capabilities.
- Partner with Technical Product Marketing to produce high-impact videos, sizzle reels, and demos that convey SAP CX solution narrative, including AI assistants coordinating workflows and executing CX processes across the enterprise.
- Drive consistency in how we tell the SAP CX story — ensuring every deck, asset, and campaign ladder back to our core narrative of unified, outcome-driven, and Autonomous CX.
- Guide and edit content created by other PMMs or agencies to ensure narrative cohesion, visual clarity and alignment with our brand tone.
- Oversee quarterly updates to SAP CX web pages and related GTM content to maintain relevance and accuracy, ensuring alignment with Autonomous CX positioning and messaging evolution.
Events & Keynote Storytelling
- Drive end-to-end content and creative strategy for flagship event keynotes, highlighting product innovations and strategic narratives in partnership with Sub-domain Product Marketing leads, with emphasis on AI-driven execution and Autonomous CX workflows.
- Ensure SAP CX solution messaging and value proposition are prominently featured in opening keynotes at flagship SAP conferences, clearly positioning CX as a core pillar and business domain of the SAP Autonomous Enterprise Suite.
- Lead content refreshes for regional events and industry shows, packaging materials into scalable “Event in a Box” formats that consistently convey the Autonomous CX narrative.
What you bring
- 8+ years of experience in product marketing or related roles focused on messaging and content development, preferably in enterprise software or SaaS.
- Proven success in developing strategic narratives and sales enablement content.
- Strong and demonstrated understanding of CX market landscape and technology category.
- Experience with AI-based message testing and brand research tools.
- Excellent collaboration and stakeholder management skills.
- Excellent writing, storytelling and presentation capabilities.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience working in a matrixed organization with cross-functional teams.
- Familiarity with SAP’s ecosystem and CX portfolio.
- Background in executive communications or keynote content development.
Where you belong

Marketing Consultant Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a marketing consultant in California?
Marketing consulting in California requires no state-issued license or registration, so the path runs through education and demonstrated experience. Most California employers expect at least a bachelor's degree in marketing, business, or communications, and many senior roles prefer an MBA. Building a portfolio of campaign results, earning widely recognized certifications such as Google Ads or HubSpot, and gaining experience inside a California agency or in-house marketing team are the practical steps that open consulting doors here.
How much do marketing consultants make in California?
Marketing consultants in California earn a median of about $94,700 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $48,440 for the lowest 10% to over $181,600 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire marketing consultants in California?
Employers hiring marketing consultants in California right now include SAP, Esri, and Terracon Consultants, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. California's concentration of technology headquarters, entertainment studios, and fast-growing consumer brands means hiring is spread from large enterprise teams to boutique agencies serving Silicon Valley and the Los Angeles media market.
Which California cities have the most marketing consultant jobs?
San Jose, Palo Alto, and Laguna Hills have the most marketing consultant openings in California. Los Angeles drives volume through its entertainment, media, and consumer brand headquarters, San Francisco and its surrounding Bay Area attract roles tied to technology companies, and San Diego draws demand from biotech, defense, and hospitality sectors that rely on specialized consultants.
Are there remote marketing consultant jobs in California?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 39% of marketing consultant openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting how much of the work involves strategy, content development, and data analysis rather than on-site production. Roles focused on digital campaigns, SEO, and brand planning tend to be the most remote-friendly, while positions requiring close collaboration with in-house creative or sales teams more often call for hybrid arrangements.
How can I get hired as a marketing consultant in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an in-house marketing coordinator or associate role at a California technology company, agency, or consumer brand, where you build the campaign portfolio consulting clients expect to see. Large California employers including Salesforce, Mattel, and mid-size Bay Area tech firms regularly hire marketing associates and rotational program participants without prior consulting experience. Earning a Google Ads or Meta Blueprint certification strengthens early applications, and agency coordinator positions in Los Angeles or San Francisco are a proven lateral move into consulting work.
Where can I find and apply to marketing consultant jobs in California?
You can find and apply to marketing consultant jobs in California on Migrate Mate, which lists current California openings updated regularly. Search the available roles, find the ones that fit your background and target market, and apply directly without creating a profile or signing up first.
