PRODUCT MARKETING MANAGER

We're looking for a Product Marketing Manager who can translate deeply technical products into clear, compelling stories that resonate with developers. This is a highly cross-functional, high-impact role. You'll work closely with product, engineering, and GTM to help define what we build and how we bring it to market. You won't just launch features, you'll influence product direction, define positioning, and help developers understand why SpaceXSI matters.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Product Launches: Own end-to-end go-to-market strategy for new features and major releases; write launch materials (blog posts, landing pages, demos, videos); partner with product and engineering to ensure strong product-market fit before launch
Positioning & Messaging: Develop clear, differentiated positioning for SpaceXSI and its features; turn complex AI + developer workflows into simple, compelling narratives; continuously refine messaging based on user feedback and market shifts
Developer-Focused Content: Partner closely with the Developer Relations team to create high-signal content for technical audiences (guides, use cases, comparisons); showcase real workflows and power-user behaviors, not generic marketing fluff; collaborate with the community to highlight authentic use cases
Go-To-Market Enablement: Translate product capabilities into clear, compelling messaging that sales and GTM teams can use effectively; provide the right narratives, positioning, and materials to communicate value and win users; partner closely with sales, field, and developer relations to understand customer needs and objections; continuously refine messaging based on real-world feedback and performance
Growth & Distribution: Identify and test new channels to reach developers (Twitter/X, GitHub, YouTube, etc.); work with growth to improve activation, onboarding, and retention messaging; run experiments to improve conversion across the funnel
Customer & Market Insight: Talk to users regularly to understand needs, objections, and mental models; analyze competitors and the evolving AI/dev tooling landscape; bring insights back into product and marketing decisions

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

3+ years in product marketing, product management, growth, consulting, banking or a similar role

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

Ideally in developer tools or SaaS
A strong technical intuition, you don't need to be an engineer, but you should be comfortable understanding developer tools and communicating to a technical audience
Strong product instincts - ability to engage in product discussions and push back thoughtfully
Exceptional communication skills, and the ability to simplify complex concepts without dumbing them down
High ownership: you can take a project from idea → execution → iteration
Find comfort in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

Onsite role: must be able to work in person at the San Francisco or New York office

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:

The annual compensation range for this role is listed below.

Annual Salary:

$153,000 - $205,000 USD

Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience.

Base salary is just one part of our total rewards package at SpaceXSI, which also includes equity, comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, access to a 401(k) retirement plan, short & long-term disability insurance, life insurance, and various other discounts and perks.
