Product Marketing Manager

VectorShift is building the institutional memory layer for private markets. The Product Marketing Manager will be responsible for positioning and messaging, product launches, website ownership, sales enablement, and creating proof and content to effectively communicate the company's unique value proposition.

Responsibilities:

• Positioning and messaging. The words. What VectorShift is, who it's for, and why it wins against the incumbent playbook (beautiful rearview mirrors, armies of data-ops humans, Excel exports). You'll own the message architecture, test it in real sales conversations, and sharpen it every month. When a prospect repeats our language back to us unprompted, you're succeeding
• Product launches. We ship weekly and release major capabilities quarterly. Every launch gets the full treatment: release notes, blog post, website update, demo narrative, customer/prospect email, LinkedIn. Shipping without a story is shipping silently — your job is that this never happens
• The website. Own the story it tells, end to end. You'll likely rebuild it in your first quarter around our core positioning
• Sales enablement. The pitch deck, the one-pager a CFO forwards to their managing partner, competitive battlecards ("when they mention Chronograph, here's the conversation"), pricing pages, security/diligence FAQ. At our size, this material is the sales team
• Proof and content. Design-partner case studies, demo videos, and point-of-view content that makes a $2–10B fund CFO think "these people understand our world" — the DPI drought, the quarterly close, the exit-planning spreadsheet one analyst rebuilds every quarter
• The feedback loop. Sit in sales calls and pilots. Hear the objections, notice which messages land, and bring it back to product as structured input. You're the founders' second set of ears on the market

Requirements:

• 2–6 years in product marketing, including being PMM #1 or #2 at an early-stage (Series A–C) B2B company — you've built positioning, launches, and enablement from zero, not inherited a machine
• You've marketed to a financial buyer — CFOs, fund managers, investors, or finance teams — and know how differently they read
• Exceptional writer. This is the core skill. You'll share samples you wrote alone, and finalists complete a short positioning exercise (our homepage headline + three sub-heads, 48 hours)
• Comfortable with ambiguity, weekly ship cycles, and founders who change their minds when the evidence changes
• Experience in private markets software, fintech, or financial data
• A background that touched finance directly
• You've helped name or define a category, not just launched features into an existing one
