At Productboard, we fundamentally believe that the world's best products are created by product makers who possess an exceptionally deep understanding of their customers' needs. Whether they are Product Managers, Designers, or Engineers, the brightest minds behind the most successful and beloved products are those who truly embody their customers.

We're entering a once-in-a-generation shift in product management - and Productboard is poised to lead it. As we build the world's first AI-first product management platform, we need a Head of Product Marketing to craft and amplify a bold new narrative that reflects where our industry is going - and Productboard's role in shaping that future.

In this role, you'll be the strategic owner of our product marketing function.

You'll play a critical role in ensuring our AI roadmap - including major initiatives like Pulse and Launchpad - lands with clarity, urgency, and excitement in the market.

This is a rare opportunity to lead product marketing during a period of transformation. You'll operate at the intersection of product, go-to-market, and executive leadership - and help establish Productboard as the go-to platform for modern, AI-powered product teams.
