Job Description:
We’re looking for a Product Marketing Manager, Agents Marketing to drive the growth of our agent channel and help close the gap on agent-driven revenue targets for 2026. In this role, you’ll own the strategy, planning, execution, and measurement of go-to-market programs that turn product updates into repeatable, impactful market motions.
You’ll be the central hub orchestrating 360° GTM campaigns across email, social, portal, events, webinars, and trade media—amplifying NEXT’s value proposition and equipping agents with the tools and knowledge to succeed. Success requires strong people skills, cross-team collaboration, and the grit to thrive in a fast-moving environment.
This is a hands-on role where you’ll roll up your sleeves, wear multiple hats, and drive work forward with an agile, solutions-oriented mindset—building structured campaigns, partnering across functions, and finding creative ways to enable agents and scale programs.
What You’ll Do:
- Develop GTM strategy plans (objectives, research, messaging, channel mix, budgets, Gantt timelines) to drive awareness, adoption, and reposition NEXT as a modern, smart, competitive carrier.
- Develop and deliver enablement suites (media kits, one-pagers, banners/videos, explainers, talk tracks, training assets, objection-handling materials, decks) using a “Think/Feel/Do” messaging framework—equipping agents, clients, and field managers to drive production, boost appointing, and increase agent-driven NWP.
- Orchestrate campaigns across email (multi-touch sequences), LinkedIn (organic and paid), agent portal (release notes, banners, lifecycle prompts), trade media/PR (placements, repurposed content), and events (webinars, conventions, testimonials).
- Define and track KPIs for launches and programs; partner with analysts to build dashboards, run A/B tests, and codify learnings into playbooks. Work cross functionally across different departments in the company.
- Ensure channel engagement targets met across email, LinkedIn, trade referrals, webinars, and conventions.
- Translate product updates into market-ready motions and easy-to-sell bundles with clear value stories for agents and field teams.
- Own timelines and cross-functional orchestration across Creative, Paid Media, Product, Sales, PR, Legal, and Compliance; ensure launches ship on schedule with measurable impact.
- Success in this role is measured in driving a material growth across the following metrics: agent-driven NWP (New Written Premium), #appointed agents and #active quoting agents.
What We Need:
- 3–6 years of experience in product marketing, media buying, or GTM roles.
- Highly detail-oriented, able to manage complex programs without losing sight of quality and deadlines.
- Right–Left Brain Marketer: you move fluidly between creative and analytical work—writing briefs, shaping copy and design, and digging into KPI dashboards with analysts.
- Thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, with the ability to adapt quickly and prioritize effectively.
- Comfortable managing cross-functional stakeholders and driving alignment across marketing, product, and sales.
- Strong storyteller who can package ideas and updates in creative, engaging ways for agents and internal teams.
- Proven success building and executing cross-channel GTM campaigns.
- Data-driven, with experience setting and measuring performance KPIs.
- Nice to have: background in insurance or property & casualty (P&C) and familiarity with the agent world.
