You will take ownership of cross-functional PMM programs, leading them from strategy through execution and continuous optimization.

This role requires a blend of strategic thought leadership, rigorous project management, and a passion for creating efficiency. You will be the central connector, ensuring alignment, operational readiness, and continuous improvement across the PMM organization and its partners.

  • Cross-functional leadership: Lead cross-functional working groups across various teams, including Events, Customer Marketing, Product Management, Marketing, Customer First, and Enablement, to ensure seamless coordination and GTM readiness.
  • Data-driven optimization: Define key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics for PMM programs, collect and analyze data, and use insights to drive continuous process improvements.
  • Risk mitigation and alignment: Proactively identify project risks, develop mitigation strategies, and facilitate alignment on key decisions among diverse stakeholders to keep programs on track.
  • Documentation and enablement: Create and maintain standard operating procedures (SOPs), templates, and training materials to formalize best practices.
Qualifications:
  • Experience: At least 5+ years of progressive experience in Program/Project Management, Operations, or Product Marketing, ideally within a high-growth SaaS or technology company.
  • Program management expertise: Proven ability to successfully execute programs involving multiple teams and competing priorities. 
  • Strategic and tactical agility: Demonstrated ability to define the strategic 'why' and the tactical 'how' for programs. Must be able to pivot seamlessly between high-level strategy and detailed project execution.
  • Communication and influence: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a proven ability to clearly articulate complex program status, risks, and impact to both working teams and senior executives.
  • GTM fluency: Strong understanding of the product development and go-to-market lifecycle, particularly how Product Marketing integrates with Sales, Enablement, Post-Sales, Product Management, etc.
  • Results-oriented: Demonstrates consistent high quality, diligent follow-through, and a commitment to achieving successful project outcomes.
  • Technical acumen: Experience leveraging tools (e.g., Asana, Google Workspace, Slack, Tableau, etc.) to manage, track, and report on program progress. Demonstrated proficiency with AI tools and technologies.
