  • Own GTM for the product line and drive growth and retention across lifecycle.
  • Build and lead a PMM team and establish metrics that prove impact.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own the positioning and messaging framework for Otter's product suite — differentiated, grounded in operator pain, and consistent across markets, segments, and every stakeholder touchpoint.
  • Lead go-to-market for Otter as a line of business: strategic planning, launch strategy, sales enablement, and post-launch growth programs — owning the success metrics for each.
  • Set growth and retention targets and build quarterly marketing plans across the customer lifecycle, partnering with Growth and Lifecycle to drive activation, adoption, MAU, and upsell.
  • Build, manage, and develop a high-performing PMM team (managers and ICs) — set the vision, operating principles, and plans that set each marketer up to succeed.
  • Own pricing and packaging strategy in partnership with Product and Finance.
  • Embody the voice of the customer — run segmentation and user research, and translate needs into opportunities that shape product strategy and the roadmap.
  • Build sales enablement reps win with — pitch decks, one-pagers, battlecards, demo narratives, and objection handling — and drive sales knowledge transfer across the org.
  • Own competitive intelligence for restaurant tech and turn it into positioning and enablement that wins deals.
  • Develop buyer and user personas across segments — from independent operators to enterprise and multi-unit — and tailor messaging for each.
  • Partner cross-functionally with Product, Sales, CS, and broader Marketing to hit shared go-to-market objectives and sales targets.

Requirements

  • 9+ years in product marketing or a related field, including 3+ years building and leading product marketing teams.

  • A track record owning go-to-market for a product line or portfolio and delivering on business metrics (adoption, revenue, retention).
  • Experience building, managing, and developing a high-performing team of managers and ICs.
  • Proven cross-functional leadership — you get Product, Sales, CS, and Marketing rowing toward shared GTM objectives and sales targets.
  • Strong analytical instincts — you size segments, read funnels, run experiments, and prove impact with data.
  • Excellent writing and storytelling — you turn a complex product into a story a busy operator immediately gets.
  • Comfort navigating complex, ambiguous, fast-growing environments where scope shifts across quarters.
  • B2B and/or B2C marketing experience.

Preferred

  • Have restaurant tech, fintech or embedded payments, POS, or marketplace experience.
  • Have marketed to SMBs and operators as well as enterprise and multi-unit buyers.
