Job Description

Responsibilities

  • We’re looking for a product marketer to own Yardstik’s story and how we’re positioned across our markets, products, and technology.
  • We've built a lot worth talking about. You will do ICP and competitive research, messaging, launches, and sales enablement to establish how we talk about it.
  • What you'll do:
  • Research our buyers, our competitors, and our market, then turn it into positioning we use everywhere
  • Build the messaging architecture for each industry we serve and each product line we offer
  • Lead sales enablement: the materials, the training, and the sessions themselves
  • Own product launches, from packaging and naming through the go-to-market execution

  • Represent Yardstik publicly on webinars, at conferences, and with analysts
  • What success looks like: our teams speak about Yardstik clearly and consistently, our win rate against key competitors increases, and the market starts describing us the way we describe ourselves.

Requirements

  • You've done product marketing for 6+ years at B2B software companies and owned it end to end: positioning, messaging, launches, and enablement
  • You're an excellent writer. Most of this job is thinking clearly and writing it down
  • You're a confident presenter. You'll be in front of our sales team regularly and on a stage sometimes
  • You do real research and turn it into something people use, not something that sits in a folder
  • You've worked in a technical or regulated category, or you can show us you learn one quickly
  • You take ownership and build things yourself

Benefits

  • An opportunity to propel your career within a rapidly-growing company
  • An incredibly supportive team that knows how to celebrate wins
  • Startup speed with real ownership and impact
  • Monthly team events and quarterly volunteer opportunities
  • Access to our downtown Minneapolis office and amenities
  • Hybrid work environment
  • Medical, dental, and voluntary benefits

Trust used to be assumed. Now it has to be proven.Yardstik is the creator of the Human Trust Platform—technology built for a world where AI-driven fraud, fake identities, and outdated background checks put people and businesses at risk.Traditional screening was built for a slower era. One-time checks. Point-in-time decisions. Blind spots everywhere. In today’s hiring landscape, that approach isn’t just outdated, it’s dangerous.Yardstik moves organizations beyond background checks into continuous verification before and after hire. Our platform combines fraud detection, identity verification, screening, and credential monitoring to make trust measurable, ongoing, and real.We help organizations:- Background screen candidates to identify who is credible- Stop identity fraud before bad actors get in- Verify that the right person shows up on day one—and every day after- Continuously monitor risk so trust doesn’t quietly degrade over timeThousands of customers across gig marketplaces, staffing, transportation, and healthcare rely on Yardstik to protect their workforce, their customers, and their reputation—without slowing down hiring.Because trust isn’t earned once. It’s maintained.
