What You’ll Own

You’ll be the single head to crown on product marketing within Skylight. This means you will drive awareness & adoption of existing features and ensure that new releases are impactful.

Responsibilities:

• Craft the narrative—shape how we position our products & features so that customers “get it” emotionally and instantly.
• Own the roadmap—lay out the plan, actions and requirements to drive awareness, adoption and impact.
• Run go-to-market for major feature launches—building the brief, defining the success metrics and ensuring it all happens.
• Do customer discovery—learn what resonates and create messaging that lands.
  

This role is not for everyone. You will thrive here if you:

• Have great instincts for customer emotion and buying behavior
• Can find the 1-2 things that will really make a difference for any given goal.
• Feel comfortable in ambiguity. You don’t need a roadmap handed to you—you’ll make one.
• Can both execute while designing repeatable processes that work in practice.
• Write clearly, simply, and with heart. You don’t hide behind fluff or jargon.
• Care deeply. You show up with curiosity, vulnerability, and good intent.

Requirements

• 2–5 years of experience in product marketing, brand strategy, or growth marketing.
• Experience at a fast-moving tech or direct-to-consumer company.
• Demonstrated ability to own a major product launch or brand positioning shift end-to-end.
• Excellent writing skills. You have written strategic briefs, generated mockups and can boil things down.
• Experience running qualitative research and turning it into strategy.
• Strong analytical thinking—you’re comfortable using data to frame decisions.
  

Bonus (but not required)

• Experience marketing physical or hybrid hardware/software products.
• Product development experience—working with product managers, engineers, designers and creative.
  

Benefits

Our competitive compensation package includes:

• Competitive Salary + Equity Package
• 401K matching
• Wellness, learning, and home-office budgets
• Health, Dental & Vision Medical Plans
• Tremendous autonomy to set the direction of your work
