Product Marketing Manager

First dedicated Product Marketing hire at the company, an AI-native brand and retail intelligence platform that unifies internal research, syndicated data and social signals into a single auditable source of truth for consumer brands. Closed a $14M seed after a year in stealth; proven with Fortune 500 clients and now building out go-to-market, including a new PLG motion (Pulse, a free consumer product with credit-based monetization). The PMM owns positioning and messaging, GTM for new features, sales enablement (decks, one-pagers, battlecards, objection handling, demo scripts), mid-to-bottom-funnel content (solution/use-case pages, case studies, comparison content), competitive intelligence vs generic AI tools and social listening platforms, and win/loss and buyer research. Reports to the Head of Brand. Team of 9-12, direct access to CEO, Product and Sales. No visa sponsorship. Hiring 1. NON-IDEAL BACKGROUNDS (client asked to avoid): Salesforce, Oracle, SAP, Microsoft, IBM, ServiceNow, Workday, Adobe — too process-heavy, less ownership culture.
