Job Summary

Own the cross-functional calendar and intake program for product marketing, turning launches into a coordinated, timely rhythm across Brand, Creative, Product, and Legal.

  • Calendar governance: surface, structure, fields, and access for company-wide launches.
  • Intake & reviews: how PMMs and product teams submit launches, required fields, and review cadence.
  • Operations & risk: log submissions, track timelines, flag gaps, and communicate changes to stakeholders.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Set up the company-wide product marketing calendar: the surface, structure, fields, and access model.
  • Build and document the intake process: how PMMs and product teams submit launches, activations, and campaign moments to the calendar, what fields are required, and how items are reviewed.
  • Manage day-to-day calendar operations: log incoming submissions, update entries, validate against product timelines, and flag gaps or conflicts to the relevant PMM.
  • Produce weekly calendar reports for the Product Marketing team, including coverage, on-time submissions, and upcoming launches.
  • Proactively flag risks and escalation paths; manage change with clear communication to stakeholders.
  • Support PMMs by tracking cross-functional dependencies (Brand, Creative, Product, Legal) for their campaigns as needed.

Requirements

  • 6-8 years experience as a program/project manager in marketing, media, or consumer tech, leading complex cross-functional programs end-to-end with clear business impact.
  • Demonstrated experience building cross company processes, intake processes, or other operational systems from the ground up, and getting cross-functional teams to adopt them.
  • Strong organization and documentation skills; calendars, trackers, briefs, and status updates that keep teams and stakeholders aligned.
  • Clear, concise communication and stakeholder management across product, creative, legal, and external partners; ability to give and receive actionable feedback.
  • Comfort in ambiguous environments, helping bring structure to teams and stakeholders.
  • Proficiency with project and documentation tools (e.g., Asana, Confluence) and a documentation-first approach.
  • Ability to work approximately 30 hours/week

Preferred

  • Experience supporting a Product Marketing function specifically (vs. general marketing or brand-only).
  • Experience designing and operating a company-wide marketing calendar at a consumer brand or platform.
  • Track record building lightweight systems and rituals that teams actually adopt (e.g., decision frameworks, retro processes, intake forms).
  • Experience at a consumer subscription, gaming, or edtech company.
  • Experience coordinating multi-market launches and localization workflows with regional partners.
