Cox Fleet is executing the marketing strategy that will define its next chapter of the fleet maintenance industry. We're looking for a Senior Manager of Product Marketing to help own our go-to-market strategy, lead product marketing initiatives, and serve as a key strategic partner to the Senior Director, Product Marketing.

This isn't just an individual contributor role. You'll lead through influence — coordinating a cross-functional team, setting the standard for how Cox Fleet shows up in the market, and operating as a senior thought partner to leadership.

How You'll Lead:

• Own the strategic direction. Set priorities, drive alignment on positioning and messaging frameworks, and ensure the team is working on the right things in the right order.

• Run point on key initiatives. For major campaign launches, GTM plans, or competitive moments, you are the lead — bringing together the right people and driving toward a decision.

• Build the infrastructure the whole team uses. Own the positioning framework, competitive intelligence process, and GTM launch playbook — the tools everyone relies on.

• Partner directly with leadership. Helping a team of marketing and non-marketing leaders think through decisions, pressure-test ideas, and manage priorities.

What You'll Do:Own a Defined Portfolio

• Lead go-to-market strategy, positioning, and performance for specific focus areas.

• Serve as the primary product marketing interface for the product and sales teams aligned to the focus areas.

• Build deep fluency in your segment — customer needs, competitive dynamics, buying behaviors, and growth opportunities.

Drive Strategy and Business Impact

• Lead annual and quarterly product marketing strategies tied to clear revenue and growth goals.

• Own the GTM framework for your portfolio — from positioning and audience segmentation to channel mix and measurement.

• Bring a commercial mindset to everything: prioritize work that moves pipeline, improves conversion, or expands customer value.

Own Positioning and Messaging

• Develop and maintain differentiated positioning, value propositions, and narratives for your portfolio.

• Ensure consistent messaging across campaigns, content, sales tools, events, and industry touchpoints.

• Establish and steward the messaging framework that the broader marketing team can leverage.

Lead Go-to-Market Execution

• Translate strategy into integrated GTM plans across campaigns, content, digital, and events.

• Coordinate execution across the product marketing pod — setting briefs, aligning priorities, and driving accountability to outcomes.

• Partner with Marketing Ops, Communications, and Sales to bring campaigns to life.

Enable Sales Performance

• Deliver messaging, tools, and competitive positioning that sharpen sales conversations and improve win rates.

• Build and maintain core sales enablement assets: pitch narratives, battle cards, objection handling, proof points.

• Stay close to the field — use feedback loops to continuously improve how we arm the sales team.

Leverage Insights to Win

• Use market research, customer insights, and competitive intelligence to identify high-value segments and growth opportunities.

• Own the competitive intelligence process for your portfolio — tracking key players, surfacing implications, and keeping the team sharp.

• Translate data and insights into clear, actionable recommendations for leadership.

Shape Industry Presence

• Elevate Cox Fleet's visibility through thought leadership, industry events, and strategic association partnerships.

• Develop point-of-view content and executive messaging that builds credibility in the fleet industry.

Measure and Optimize

• Define success metrics for your portfolio's GTM work and report against them regularly.

• Use performance data to identify what's working, what's not, and what to do differently.

• Build a culture of accountability and continuous improvement across the pod.

What Success Looks Like:

• Your portfolio has a clear, differentiated position in market — and the whole team knows how to use it.

• Marketing initiatives are visibly tied to pipeline, conversion, and revenue outcomes.

• The product marketing team operates with clarity, cohesion, and a shared standard for quality.

• Sales teams are better equipped — and they'll tell you so.

• You've built a track record as a leader and strategic partner to the business.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in a related discipline and 8 years experience in product marketing. The right candidate could also have a different combination, such as a master’s degree and 6 years experience; a Ph.D. and 3 years experience in product marketing; or 12 years experience in product marketing. ​
• Demonstrated experience owning GTM strategy end-to-end — not just executing someone else's plan.
• Proven track record of leading through influence in a matrixed organization — coordinating teams, driving alignment, and delivering results without direct authority.
• Strong positioning and messaging instincts — you can translate complex solutions into crisp, differentiated narratives.
• Commercially minded — you connect marketing activity to business outcomes and hold yourself accountable to both.
• Skilled coach and collaborator — you make the people around you better and know how to run a high-functioning pod.
• Confident communicator who can hold their own in a room with senior executives, product leaders, and sales teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in fleet, transportation, automotive, or adjacent industries is a strong plus — but a fast learner with B2B software and services experience can get there.
