Product Marketing Manager

The role

This individual contributor role sits between the product and go-to-market teams in San Francisco, operating on a hybrid schedule. The person shapes how the company's offerings are framed for buyers and partners, and runs launches as coordinated programs rather than one-off announcements.

What you would do

• Distill complicated product features into a clear market position covering target buyers, displaced alternatives, and differentiation
• Plan launches with defined success measures and coordinate readiness so enablement and evidence are available on launch day
• Arm sales and customer-facing staff with persuasive messaging, objection handling, and current competitive insight
• Track buyer needs and rival options continuously to keep messaging accurate and backed by real value
• Connect messaging and launch activity to pipeline contribution, user activation, and retention, testing pricing and packaging quickly
• Build consensus across product, sales, and marketing by settling trade-offs and raising risks early without formal authority

What they asked for

• At least 8 years in product marketing, preferably at a fast-growing technology company where end-to-end launches were owned
• Track record of boiling down technical material into specific, verifiable stories that work for executives, sellers, and partners
• Solid grasp of conventional marketing practice, with appetite to challenge it
• Strong data-backed storytelling, including the ability to state a product's value in one sentence and support it with evidence
• Comfortable providing clarity quickly in fast-moving, unclear conditions
