Senior Product Marketing Manager

Job description

£75 - 95k + equity

🌍 UK | Full-time

Come join the marketing team at zeroheight and help us build the best design systems product on the planet. As a senior product marketing manager, you’ll convince the right people that we’re the right product for them and showcase the benefits of all the great features we’re releasing.

zeroheight is remote-first but the marketing team tends to meet up once a month (in London) and the company meets up once a quarter. We’ve been innovating in the design system space for over 10 years(!) and AI is providing an exciting call to continue. We have a big focus on treating people like actual humans with real lives - and therefore give people the flexibility to set up their own work day.

What you’ll do 👩‍💻

You’ll work alongside Liam (our other product marketing manager) who is already valiantly trying to do the work of two people. The split will be Liam handling product launches and current user comms, while you interface more with sales and success - handling messaging, research, materials, packaging and more. This is a great opportunity to broaden your commercial skills and help zeroheight position effectively in an ever-changing market.

Some of the opportunities are:

• Crafting product marketing messages and unique selling points that set the product apart from the rest of the market especially in the AI era!
• Diving into market and customer research to discover exactly what resonates and what sort of personas we’re targeting with our product.
• Being THE expert on competitors and what they’re up to. This includes all the weird and wonderful emergent AI workflows.
• Communicating the vision of the company and the value of new products to the sales / success team and helping them develop tools that facilitate the sales / expansion process. This is a key challenge we’re facing, so this will be a big focus of the role.
• Finding ways to track performance of product marketing efforts and delivering on those results. Familiarity with OKRs will be helpful here as that’s the biggest inspiration for our goal setting approach.

Who you are 🌱

Here are some requirements we think are essential. If you match most of them, please get in touch anyway!

• 4+ years experience in product marketing - mostly in SaaS and B2B
• A knack for storytelling and communication
• Great market research skills and the ability to gain insight into the customers’ needs and experiences
• Great copywriting and presentation skills to produce compelling sales material which clearly communicate social impact and complex technical concepts
• Experience working with Enterprise size clients i.e. Fortune 250
• Great collaborative skills and ability to work with multiple teams across the business
• Excitement about where the design and development space is headed
• Right to work in the UK

These requirements are more “nice-to-have”:

• Experience in design or developer tooling
• Familiar with design systems and the accompanying terminology e.g. tokens
• Fluent in the latest AI lingo, be that MCP or RAG

5 reasons why you should apply 💚

1. You are passionate about making designers and developers lives easier! You have a passion for designers and developers, wanting to make their lives easier and getting them using the tools that will make this happen. You’re eager to get heavily involved in the design systems and product communities to figure out what they need and how we can provide that to them.
2. You’ll have a measurable impact. With our product team operating at pace, you’ll translate their output into something understandable and impactful for our customers through our internal teams. You’ll sit between the product and revenue sides of the business and help drive success for both.
3. You want to grow, adapt and evolve. We value personal and professional development highly - which means a yearly education budget, 10% time to work on projects of your choice and a focus on management and collaboration to ensure that your growth is paramount.
4. You want to be treated as human. We’re committed to supporting mental wellness as we grow. We provide a free mental health support program, a monthly wellness budget and - perhaps most importantly - we’re working to normalise talking about mental health with your manager and peers. We believe mental health should have the same status and importance as physical health.
5. Join a forward-thinking startup: As a fast-growing startup at the forefront of the UX industry, backed by notable investors like Tribe Capital, Y Combinator, and Adobe, we’re well placed to stay leading the world of design systems.
