Our Product Marketing team is made up of two sub-teams: Persona PMMs and Technical PMMs. As part of the Technical PMM team, you live and breathe product innovation. You are our in-house product and launch expert. While Product Management and Product Ops are your primary partners, your north star is always to deliver a delightful customer experience.

Your ultimate goal is to bring product innovation to market by successfully launching new products and features. This means launching the right updates to the right customers at the right time. This highly strategic work requires you to have a keen understanding of effective launch strategies, strong messaging and positioning skills to make the updates relevant and actionable, and a strong desire to impact our product roadmap. You will play a key part in bringing the “voice of the customer” back to the Product org to provide roadmap feedback and input on product designs. You are continuously looking at customer insights and product data to learn what’s working and what’s not help us get 1% better every day, every release. While you are focused on making products successful throughout their entire lifecycle, your main focus will be on the initial launch phase (~90 days post launch) to ensure the successful rollout and initial adoption. That’s where your strategic partnership with the Customer Engagement Marketing (CEM) team plays a role in ensuring long-term adoption. Your success will be largely tied to product launch and product adoption success metrics.

What your day might look like:

• You meet with your PMs to get the latest scoop on your upcoming releases and strategize launch plans.
• Since the launch will require a beta launch, you begin to develop the requirements and goals of the beta you’ll be supporting.
• You learned about a new feature release, you craft the Release Brief—your source of truth for all T1-T3 releases.
• You found a concerning dip in product engagement stats, you look into it with your PM to understand what’s happening and share findings with your CEM partner to solve the problem.
• You present at an Enablement session to train the teams on upcoming launches.
• You meet with CX to develop customer education materials for launch.
• You set up a brainstorming session with Customer Engagement Marketing to create a plan to drive long-term feature adoption.
• One of your upcoming releases is big—industry-shaping big—you meet with your Persona PMM to ensure they know all about it to revamp pitch decks, website messaging and get it into that Gartner MQ they’ve been working on.
• Your Market Intel counterpart shared some great trends with you, you take those to your next meeting with Product Management to influence the roadmap.

Areas of Responsibility:

• Create cohesive product positioning and messaging, ensuring it ties back to the overall solution & brand messaging
• Monitor product engagement stats and revenue trends for your owned areas to find areas of growth and opportunity
• You will drive product / feature launches end-to-end
• Launch planning
• Launch comms & collateral
• Org readiness
• Product training & enablement
• You will influence the product roadmap by sharing key customer, market, competitive insights with Product teams

Core skills required and key questions you’ll ask yourself:

• 5+ years of Product Marketing Manager experience, with 2 years experience with integrations
• Bachelor’s Degree in marketing, advertising, communication, or related field
• Expertise in developing launch strategies — How can we effectively position ourselves against X competitor? Which launches required phased releases or an Alpha/Beta test?
• Deep understanding of our customer base — Which segments and users should you target with new features? Does this open up new upsell/cross-sell opportunities? What quantitative and qualitative inputs can we use to make product decisions?
• Deep understanding of our market and competitors — What should we be doing to leapfrog / outpace the competition? Where are we behind and at risk of losing out?
• Pricing and packaging skills — What new additions deserve pricing adjustments? Does this update deserve a new SKU?
• Great storytelling skills with the ability to tie launches back to larger messaging themes & brand pillars — How can you ensure you aren't telling one off stories but building into a larger narrative to reinforce our undisputed market position?
