WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Sitting at the intersection of marketing, product, and technology, you'll help Bain's marketing organization navigate a period of meaningful transformation.

- Product and requirements: Partner with the MarTech Director to translate business needs into clear, actionable requirements for engineering and implementation teams.
- Support product backlog management, writing and refining requirements as builds evolve.
- Contribute to product decisions by bringing a grounded understanding of both marketing strategy and technical constraints.
- Champion a test-and-learn approach, helping teams move from pilot to scaled adoption.
- Stakeholder and program management: Manage cross-functional workstreams across marketing, IT, and external partners, keeping progress visible and blockers cleared.
- Build strong relationships with marketing stakeholders to understand their needs and objectives, surface pain points, and validate that solutions are working.
- Prepare and maintain program communications and stakeholder-facing materials.
- Facilitate working sessions and reviews, ensuring the right people are aligned at the right moments.

About you
- 6-8 years of experience in product management, marketing technology, or a closely related field.

- Strong product instincts: you know how to break down a complex problem, write a clear requirement, and keep a build moving toward something useful.
- Comfortable moving between strategic thinking and hands-on execution; you're as comfortable in a stakeholder alignment meeting as you are reviewing a Jira board.
- Clear, confident communicator who can translate between marketing and technical teams without losing either audience.
- Able to operate independently in an ambiguous environment and bring structure where there isn't any.
