About the role

Hi, my name is Matt Pahnke, VP Product Marketing at Customer.io, and I’m looking for a Senior Product Marketing Manager to help shape how the world understands and adopts our platform.

Our PMM team of six is embedded across EPD squads, working closely with product, engineering, sales enablement, and demand gen to bring features to market and drive meaningful adoption. We haven’t hired a PMM in over two years — strong retention is a great sign — but we’re growing and this is a real opportunity to make your mark. You’ll build deep product expertise, own go-to-market strategy for key areas, and become a genuine voice inside our product development process — not just a seat at the table.

What we value

Impact over activity — you care about adoption and activation, not page views and collateral counts

Domain depth — you go deep on the product and the market; you become the expert

Earned influence — you push back with data and conviction; you don’t wait for permission

Cross-functional trust — you build real relationships across EPD, sales, and demand gen, not just handoffs

Clarity — you make complex things simple, in writing, in conversation, and in the room

What you'll do

Own go-to-market strategy for your product areas — positioning, messaging, launch execution, and measurement

Partner embedded with EPD squads to shape feature narratives and ensure launches land with real market impact

Drive product adoption and activation — connect PMM work directly to the metrics that matter to the business

Own competitive intelligence for your domain — synthesize insights and arm the team with sharp, actionable positioning

Collaborate with demand gen, growth, and sales enablement to connect the product story to pipeline and revenue

Build deep customer and product expertise, becoming the go-to subject matter expert on your areas of ownership

What we're looking for

5+ years of product marketing experience in B2B SaaS

Experience in marketing technology, messaging, or an adjacent domain — or a proven track record of quickly developing deep domain expertise in a new space

Strong storytelling skills across written, verbal, and visual formats — you make complex products feel clear and compelling

Cross-functional collaboration experience — you’ve worked embedded with product teams, not just handed off deliverables

A track record of tying PMM work to business outcomes: adoption, activation, retention

Experience at early-to-mid stage high-growth companies; you’re comfortable with ambiguity and moving fast

A habit of working with AI tools as part of your everyday workflow

Compensation & Benefits

We believe in transparency. Starting salary for this role is $135k–$176k USD (or equivalent in local currency) depending on experience and subject to market rate adjustment.

We know our people are what make us great, and we’re committed to taking great care of them. Our inclusive benefits package supports your well-being and growth, including 100% coverage of medical, dental, vision, mental health, and supplemental insurance premiums for you and your family. We also offer 16 weeks paid parental leave, unlimited PTO, stipends for remote work and wellness, a professional development budget, and more.
