About the role
The Principal Product Marketing Manager will lead the go-to-market initiatives for StackAdapt's marketing orchestration suite, bridging the gap between complex marketing automation and programmatic advertising. This role requires a strong background in platform product marketing, particularly within the Martech, enterprise marketing cloud, or marketing automation ecosystem.
Responsibilities
- Strategic GTM & Positioning Pivot: Own and execute the global GTM strategy for the marketing orchestration suite. Lead strategic narratives where the problem, objective, or GTM framework is undefined or cross-cutting, repositioning the suite away from traditional, email-specific retention use cases toward connected, cross-channel execution.
- Act as the principal strategic partner across decentralized product squads, synthesizing disparate product roadmaps (data activation, email, flows, direct mail, analytics) into a single, cohesive, long-term multi-channel marketing orchestration story.
- Partner with the revenue enablement team, and collaborate closely with the client services and account management leadership to bridge technical product knowledge gaps. Designing repeatable sales plays, client-facing pitch frameworks, and strategic objection-handling guides that empower commercial teams globally.
- Maintain a deep, recognized expertise of market trends and capabilities across the cross-channel engagement landscape. Aggregate insights from across the organization to define GTM direction, shape product-market fit, and advise senior leaders (VPs, SVPs) on market approach.
- Gather rigorous feedback from clients and internal commercial teams to identify user friction points, customer journeys, and upcoming trends. Translate these insights into long-term strategic business requirements for the product management teams.
- Design scalable GTM systems, templates, and frameworks that accelerate cross-functional execution and raise the quality of marketing and design briefs. Embrace an AI-forward culture by proactively integrating generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Claude) to optimize daily workflows, accelerate asset creation, and establish repeatable enablement collateral systems.
- Establish, monitor, and report on product adoption KPIs, feature usage, and commercial win-rates, continuously managing resource trade-offs and iterating on positioning strategies to maximize product revenue.
- Mentor peers and junior team members across the product marketing team, establishing standards, sharing frameworks, and systematically raising execution standards for the entire PMM discipline.
