The role

We currently have openings for Product Marketing Managers within our UK&I Group and International Group!

The mission of the UKI Group is to become the leading A2A account provider, across both Direct Debit & Open Banking. We will achieve this by focusing on our core UKI market segments and continue to accelerate our growth as we further expand into new segments in the region. The UKI Group represents the majority of our merchant base and the majority of our revenue. As the Product Marketing Manager for UKI you’ll report into the Director of Commercial Strategy and sit in the UKI Commercial Strategy Team. 

The mission of the International Group is to find fit in our strategic international markets and continue to accelerate our growth as we further expand in each region. The International Group will continue to experiment on where we play and our positioning to ensure we win. As the Product Marketing Manager for International you’ll report into the Head of Commercial Strategy (International) and sit in the Commercial Strategy Team

Success will be measured on your ability to act as the connection between product and commercial teams supporting both positioning as well as driving commercial outcomes by forging strong relationships with stakeholders across the business.

What excites you 

At GoCardless and in the International Group, Product Marketing can really be summarised in five core activities. 

  • Where should we play i.e who is our Ideal Customer Profile in each market + supporting our SAM grading to ensure our Demand Generation teams are highly targeted in their activities
  • How do we ensure that customer-facing teams have the right positioning, messaging, tools and pain-driven data points to drive growth in our target segments, particularly when it comes to facing the competition 
  • How do we launch new products and initiatives across the world in a way that generates maximum adoption
  • How do we listen to and understand the market so we can make more effective decisions as a business
  • How do we work with our product organisation to ensure we are bringing the right products and features to market in the right way

There’s a lot of work to be done, but one of our key tenets for 2023/24 is “do fewer things, better”. We want to select the activities that will have the maximum impact on the business and focus on them. 

What excites us  
  • You have strong quantitative analytical skills and are experienced in extracting insights from data
  • You know that talking to customers is the best way to understand the challenges they face, and frequently do so
  • Prior experience of taking innovative new B2B products and features to market
  • You believe that product launch doesn’t stop at launch - adoption and business impact is how you measure yourself. You have developed innovative messaging, positioning and value proposition frameworks for complex problems and new products
  • You are adept at market research (qualitative and quantitative) and can demonstrate influencing business and product strategy as a result of that research
  • You have a lot of experience engaging with product and engineering teams to solve customers problems
  • You enjoy working independently, given a set of objectives
  • You also enjoy cross-functional work with disparate areas of the business

We don’t expect you to meet every requirement. If you’re excited by this role, we encourage you to apply.
