Overview

We’re looking for someone to lead product marketing for our WordPress.com and Jetpack products. Using quantitative and qualitative methods you will articulate the value proposition for our core products. Your research and guidance will provide clear direction to the rest of the marketing team on what products we are building for whom. This work will ensure that our campaigns are a natural fit between what people want and what we offer.

Your Responsibilities:

  • Audience Segmentation
    • Work with internal and external teams and data sources to define, prioritize, and activate market segments.
    • Uncover and speak to obvious similarities and differences between customers through demographics and psychographics.
    • Use these insights to create a custom positioning matrix for our different products and different customers based on the goals each group has for their website.
  • Product Positioning
    • Stay on top of market trends to figure out what story we should tell given where the market is going.
    • Define our competitive set and articulate where we want to live in relation to the wide variety of options available to these audiences.
    • Lead the creation of messaging that resonates with our audience by turning features into benefits that people naturally understand.
    • Define and elevate the benefits of using WordPress.com and our whole suite of products.
  • Go-to-Market Strategies
    • Lead the charge on how we bring new products and features to market.
    • Work with internal stakeholders to uncover the messages that need to be told.
    • Work with channel managers to coordinate methods of communication.
    • Define and track metrics of a successful launch.

You Have:

  • 5-10 years leading product marketing for consumer technology companies.
  • A data driven mindset — you know how to segment an audience and put numbers towards squishy campaigns. You love quantifying your work.
  • A proactive nature — you lay out a strategy that others are eager to follow.
  • A bias toward collaboration — people are lining up to work with you because they know that your leadership will help them reach the company’s goal.
