Position Summary

We are seeking a strategic and execution-oriented Product Marketing Manager to support the go-to-market planning and ongoing marketing execution for assigned products and programs within a membership-based organization.  

This role is responsible for developing positioning, driving awareness, and engagement through integrated, data-informed campaigns that clearly communicate value to members and prospective participants. The Product Marketing Manager works cross-functionally to translate program features and benefits into clear, compelling value propositions that resonate with our audience. 

The ideal candidate balances big-picture strategy with hands-on campaign execution—developing marketing plans, shaping positioning and messaging, and leading campaigns from concept through launch across multiple channels.

The Product Marketing Manager partners closely with product and stakeholder teams to translate program features into persuasive, customer-centric narratives that drive engagement, participation and growth 

This position balances strategic thinking with hands–on campaign execution and may supervise one staff member over time.
