Manager of Product Marketing

Role

Who you are

• You lead people, not just projects. You have managed or formally mentored PMMs and know the difference between delegating tasks and developing capability. You can coach someone through a weak positioning draft, give direct feedback when the work isn't landing, and still keep the person motivated and growing
• You come with a point of view. You can look across a product portfolio, a set of funnel metrics, and a competitive landscape and form a clear strategic perspective — then articulate it credibly with product, sales leadership, senior stakeholders, and your team
• You're a strong storyteller and you raise the bar on others' stories. You write well. But more importantly, you can read someone else's messaging doc and immediately identify what's missing, what's muddled, and what will fall flat with the audience. Your instinct is to sharpen, not just to produce
• You hold the standard on cross-functional execution. You've worked in a SaaS environment where GTM involves coordinating with product, revenue enablement, sales, and CS simultaneously. You know how to move work forward across competing priorities without losing alignment — and you know when to escalate versus when to unblock it yourself
• You turn data into direction. You set measurable goals for your portfolio and your team, and you use funnel metrics, adoption data, competitive signals, and content performance to track progress and course-correct. You're comfortable owning the measurement framework end-to-end — from defining success to reporting on it
• You operate well in ambiguity. Clio moves fast. Roadmaps shift. Priorities get re-sequenced. You can adapt your team's focus without losing momentum, and you communicate changes with enough clarity that your team doesn't spiral

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in product marketing, with meaningful ownership of go-to-market strategy across a product portfolio
• 2+ years of experience leading and developing product marketers, including coaching on messaging and positioning craft
• Demonstrated ability to translate complex product capabilities into clear value propositions
• Experience partnering directly with product management, sales leadership, and customer success to drive cross-functional launches and adoption
• Strong analytical skills and experience using funnel, adoption, and competitive data to set goals and course-correct a team's priorities
• Ability to plan, organize, and execute across multiple concurrent launches and portfolios while meeting deadlines
• Strong communication and writing skills, including the ability to read someone else's draft and identify what's missing or muddled before it reaches sales or customers
• Comfort making decisions and re-sequencing priorities with imperfect information as roadmaps shift

What the job involves

• The Product Marketing team at Clio is the connective tissue between product, revenue, and the market. We translate complex product capabilities into clear value for legal professionals — and we do it across the full customer journey, from awareness through adoption and expansion
• As a manager on this team, you'll own a portfolio and the people behind them. You'll set the strategic direction for how Clio's features and capabilities go to market, shape the narratives that sales and customer success rely on every day, and hold the bar on what "good" looks like for launches, positioning, and enablement
• Rated a top place to work in product marketing and product marketing team of the year by the Product Marketing Alliance, this is a team that values rigor, initiative, and results — and we hold managers to the same standard
• You'll be expected to develop your people, drive portfolio performance, and operate with the same bias toward action you ask of your team

Portfolio Leadership

• Serve as the primary point of accountability for your portfolio, connecting product strategy to marketing outcomes

Go-to-Market Strategy & Planning

• Partner with your Product Management counterparts to ensure customer and market insights are consistently informing the roadmap and informing GTM decisions

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Represent your portfolios in monthly PMM-CMM cross-functional planning to ensure adequate prioritization of your portfolios
• Build strong working relationships with stakeholders outside your immediate team to remove execution blockers and drive shared objectives forward
• Ensure your team is resourced and set up to deliver on cross-functional commitments

People Leadership
