About this role

We are looking for a Product Marketing Manager to join our fast-growing marketing team. In this role, you’ll lead PMM for a product portfolio and oversee go-to-market and adoption strategy for its entire feature set. There’s lots of white space in this role, and no two projects will be the same: on a given day, you could be developing a go-to-market plan for a net-new feature, strategizing a lifecycle email campaign to drive sustained adoption of a key investment, or drafting sales enablement to help customers understand a new tool. 

As a part of Faire’s founding Product Marketing team, you’ll have the opportunity to help build the product marketing function from the ground up. The ideal candidate will be comfortable with autonomy and prioritization, as they’ll need to manage multiple projects with many cross functional partners simultaneously. They will be excited to lead cross-functional teams and collaborate closely with product, design, and sales.

What you’ll do 

• Manage end-to-end go-to-market strategy for an entire product portfolio, overseeing holistic channel strategy, key metrics, marketing and sales collateral, and stakeholder management
• Empower long-term success of your products by developing acquisition and lifecycle marketing campaigns and customer enablement/education
• Lead cross-functional teams across Marketing, Sales, and Operations to ensure successful, collaborative, and on-time execution of GTM and adoption plans 
• Demonstrate metric-focused rigor and a results-oriented approach by establishing key metrics for each product marketing campaign and tracking performance against goals
• Build operational excellence for Faire’s up-and-coming product marketing function — you’ll help define the role and identify new opportunities for impact 

Qualifications

• You have 5-7 years of product marketing experience
• You’re comfortable in fluid, independent environments — as the only PMM on your product pillar, you’ll need to identify where and how to invest your time most effectively
• You love developing high-level strategy, but equally love getting into the weeds
• You’re a strong cross-functional leader who can influence outcomes across multiple partners, especially product and sales
• You’re a versatile communicator — you write a marketing email, draft a go-to-market plan, and lead a brainstorm with equal enthusiasm
• You’re a metric-focused marketer who loves to measure and improve the performance of your craft 
• You’re passionate about retail and believe in Faire’s mission to help local retail succeed
• Experience working with sales teams and developing sales enablement/collateral
• Intermediate Excel 
• SQL knowledge not required, but a willingness to learn is necessary
• Experience with marketing for events or trade shows
