Product Marketing Manager - Emerging

The Product Marketing Manager, Emerging

About the role

The Product Marketing Manager, Emerging owns productization and go-to-market end to end for Clearlink’s Emerging vertical. The role turns recurring monetization demand into repeatable, sell-ready revenue products — anchored to revenue and gross margin — so Business Development and Partner Strategy can close faster, at higher value, and with proof that holds up.

Responsibilities

• Builds and defends value-based pricing and a standard program menu across the Emerging categories.
• Develops product descriptions, positioning, and pitch assets tailored to mobile, streaming, moving, and security advertisers.
• Productizes and packages the vertical’s Sponsorship, IAB Display, and Distribution offerings.
• Keeps one-pagers, talk tracks, rate cards, and case studies current across categories.
• Partners with Partner Strategy and Business Development to answer RFPs from the menu.
• Owes delivery against partner commitments and stays accountable to the outcome.
• Produces standardized partner reporting and QBR support that turns delivery into case studies and into renewed and expanded partner spend.
• Prioritizes effort across the Emerging categories, concentrating on where demand, opportunity, and margin are strongest.

Requirements

• Excellent communication skills (written and verbal).
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including rate-card construction, value-based pricing, and net-revenue measurement.
• Ability to package complex offerings into clear, defensible rate cards, one-pagers, and pitch decks.
• Ability to operate across multiple revenue products (Sponsorships, IAB Display, Distribution) and multiple categories with distinct advertiser bases.
• Comfort positioning to a range of advertisers — mobile, streaming, moving, and security — whose buying criteria differ by category.
• Ability to prioritize and switch context across several categories without losing momentum.
• Time management skills with a proven ability to manage concurrent productization workstreams.
• Ability to analyze and identify trends across audience, partner, and competitive data.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in product marketing, media sales, or revenue-side go-to-market.
• Working knowledge of digital media measurement (impressions, clicks, conversions) and at least one B2B2C revenue model (sponsorships, programmatic/IAB display, or distribution).

Skills

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, Communications, or related field.
• Background in one or more of the Emerging categories — mobile/wireless, TV/streaming, moving/home services, or home security advertising markets.
• Direct experience packaging editorial or content sponsorships (publisher-, agency-, or platform-side).
• Working knowledge of Google Ad Manager (GAM), IAB standards, and the direct-sold display ecosystem.
• Experience with distribution or syndication deal structuring.
• Experience productizing owned-audience media products for external sale.
• Comfort building go-to-market for newer or less-established categories.
