Responsibilities

• Own product marketing strategy. Set and execute the quarterly and long-term strategy for how Help Scout positions its product and platform, informed by market trends, competitive analytics, and where the company is headed.
• Build and scale the product marketing function. Manage and partner with our Lead Product Marketing Manager, setting priorities, coaching on craft, and creating room for them to grow into owning larger initiatives. You'll help build the team's roadmap for headcount and capability over the next 12-18 months.
• Enable the whole company. Ensure sales, support, and teammates across Help Scout have what they need to understand and clearly articulate the value of what we ship. You'll build the frameworks and enable the company to talk about our products in a way that ultimately leads to new revenue and expansion.
• Shape competitive intelligence at a strategic level. Go beyond synthesizing competitive research by turning it into a point of view on where the market is heading and how Help Scout should move to win, and make sure that point of view shapes product-led growth, direct and indirect sales, and expansion.
• Own major product launches and seasonal release events end-to-end. Set the strategy and narrative arc for product release events and other major launches, coordinating across Sales, Product, Support, and Marketing to land them with impact.
• Represent Help Scout's product story externally. Use guest posts, podcasts, social, and other channels to build the company's external visibility and reputation as a category leader, both for the platform and for how we're building it.

Requirements

• You have significant experience in product marketing for a B2B SaaS product or AI platform, with a track record of owning strategy, not just executing campaigns.
• You're an expert in every core discipline of product marketing: positioning, messaging, buyer personas/ICP, sales enablement, and launches, and you can identify which high-value activities matter most for the business right now.
• You've managed people before, and know how to coach someone on craft, give them room to own real work, and help them grow into more senior responsibility.
• You have a point of view on positioning AI-powered products credibly, and ideally have direct experience marketing AI features or products.
• You use AI tools daily to improve your own output and your team's, and you can point to specific examples where AI changed the speed, quality, or scale of what you or your team delivered.
• You're a storyteller at heart. You write strong narratives that make complex products feel simple, human, and memorable, and you know how to communicate and build relationships across a remote, async environment.
