Is This Role For You?
- You have 10+ years in high-tech manufacturing product marketing or go-to-market strategy (semiconductor, networking, hardware, connected products)
- You're fluent in PLM, QMS, and the product development lifecycle-and can translate technical capabilities into executive buyer value
- You thrive owning end-to-end marketing narratives: from positioning and messaging to campaign execution and deal support
- You partner naturally with Product, Sales, and Demand Gen teams; you're equally comfortable in a board presentation and a Slack thread
- You're data-driven and obsessed with measuring impact: pipeline, win rates, content performance, and ROI matter to you
- You lack deep high-tech manufacturing or enterprise B2B product marketing experience; this isn't an entry-level director role
- You prefer remote work or are unwilling to be on-site in the Bay Area; this is a full-time, on-site position
- You're uncomfortable with ambiguity or rapid iteration; you need a fully baked marketing strategy on day one
