Principal Product Marketing Manager
Gong · Chicago, IL · 3 wk ago
Marketing$174k–$250k/yrFull-time
Responsibilities
- Own the technical buyer narrative — define positioning and messaging that earns credibility with CIOs and RevOps leaders evaluating enterprise AI infrastructure for revenue. Go beyond outcomes: make governance models, orchestration architecture, data permissioning, and agent lifecycle management feel purpose-built and immediately trustworthy.
- Build the infrastructure conversation — develop the content, frameworks, and tools that help CIOs and RevOps architects understand how Gong fits into their AI stack. This means data flows, governance controls, agent coordination, MCP integrations, audit trails, and the role of the Gong Revenue Graph as the grounding layer that makes autonomous execution reliable at enterprise scale.
- Unify AI and execution into a single story — intelligence and execution are one product. Your job is to make the integrated picture feel inevitable to a technical buyer who has spent the past 18 months evaluating fragmented point solutions and wondering why none of them hold up in production.
- Take a portfolio view — make and defend recommendations about how AI execution capabilities are packaged and monetized across the platform.
- Shape product and GTM strategy — bring structured buyer, competitive, and analyst insights into product planning; develop a deep POV on how enterprise IT and revenue operations teams evaluate, adopt, and govern agentic AI; be the team’s expert on how this market is evolving and how enterprises are making platform decisions.
- Drive high-impact launches — partner with the broader PMM team, PM, Enablement, sales, post-sales, comms, and ops to drive launches from brief to execution.
Qualifications
- 8+ years of B2B product marketing experience, with at least four years owning the full PMM lifecycle for an AI platform, agentic infrastructure, or complex workflow product at an enterprise SaaS company with demonstrated success marketing to technical buyers.
- Working knowledge of agentic workflow concepts: triggers, actions, plays, next-best-action, human-in-the-loop governance, MCP integrations, and how enterprises think about AI governance and data residency.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills. You write with precision, distill architectural concepts into narratives that earn trust, and can adapt your message to a variety of audiences across business and technical audiences.
- A bias toward evidence and action — you test positioning with customers, validate it in win/loss data, and iterate based on what actually moves technical buyers.
- Comfort operating in ambiguity and at pace. Gong ships fast. You will make good decisions with incomplete information and adapt as the product and market evolve.
- Experience marketing to RevOps, Sales Operations, or Revenue Leadership (CRO, VP Sales) personas.
- A track record of making complex, multi-layered systems feel coherent and inevitable to skeptical enterprise buyers. You have had to explain governance models, data permissioning, orchestration logic, or agent lifecycle management and made it land.
- Prior experience working on a product that was actively defining or expanding a market category, not just competing in an established one.
- Experience with analyst relations (Gartner, Forrester) — you have presented at briefings, shaped Magic Quadrant narratives, or contributed to Wave evaluations.
- Comfort with quantitative analysis: win/loss data, pipeline influence metrics, adoption curves, and consumption/credit pricing models.
