Founding Product Marketer

Sparrow is the first high-tech, high-touch employee leave management solution. Our mission is to make it simple for companies to provide their employees with all kinds of leave (i.e. family, medical, etc.).

Currently, the leave management process is painful and inefficient for everyone. Company leaders struggle to keep up with regulations and processes that change frequently, and the employees going on leave are overwhelmed by bureaucracy at an exceptionally important juncture in their career. Sparrow transforms this ordinarily tedious, error-prone, complex to remain compliant, and time-consuming process into a 30-minute end-to-end experience saving teams time (20 - 40 hours per leave) and money (up to $30K per leave).

Sparrow is headquartered in San Francisco but all employees work remotely across the country. Sparrow is a diverse, highly talented, and supportive team. Together, we are hardworking, collaborative, smart, and humble—after all, we’re solving real problems.

In the Product Marketing role at Sparrow, you’ll have the opportunity to solidify our vision and build processes and materials to ensure we’re positioned to win. We’re looking for someone comfortable rolling up their sleeves, staying up to date on market trends, competitors, and working cross-functionally with internal stakeholders to increase productivity.

• Partner with Leadership – Marketing, Product, Revenue Enablement. Sales, and Account Management on the design and execution of Product Marketing initiatives.

• Positioning and messaging strategy - owns the core narrative, value propositions, messaging framework, and website copy while partnering with Revenue Enablement.

• Go-to-market for launches – plans and executes product and feature launches, coordinating messaging, timing, and cross-functional rollout.

• Runs market and buyer research – win/loss analysis. Conducts customer interviews and refines the ICP as we expand our target market.

• Competitive intelligence – tracks competitors, builds battlecards, and equips Revenue Enablement with market intel and data.

• A top performer with a builder’s mindset. 7+ years of product marketing, particularly in SaaS markets selling B2B, with a track record of successful product launches and messaging that captures mindshare.

• Learner’s mindset. Highly self-directed, adaptable, and up for feedback and implementation in a fast-paced, always changing environment that has high-performance expectations while working collaboratively. You have a desire to build a world-class sales training playbook and program while seeing success in others.

• Product-obsessed. Leave management is complicated, meaning that often, our customers have gaps in their understanding. Therefore, it is essential that you can build effective written and visual teaching materials that simplify complex problems.

• Outstanding verbal and written communication skills. Clear, empathetic communicator that can build rapport and relate to sales professionals. You are great at communicating through email, chat, and phone while displaying active listening skills to ensure things are done well, both personally and as a team.

This is a full-time salaried position with compensation of $124,600 – $220,000 depending on experience and location.
