About The Position

GoFundMe is seeking a customer-obsessed, insights-driven and savvy Principal Consumer Product Marketing Manager to lead high-impact, consumer-facing initiatives across our platform. You’ll be instrumental in shaping compelling product narratives, crafting GTM strategies, and influencing cross-functional teams to drive measurable results across our consumer lifecycle. From early strategy through activation and continuous optimization, you’ll help connect people to the causes and communities that matter most. You’ll be expected to operate with a high degree of independence, manage ambiguity with clarity, and lead initiatives that impact both team and company-wide goals. Candidates considered for this role will be located in the San Francisco, Bay Area. There will be an in-office requirement of 2-3x a week.

6–10+ years of experience in Product Marketing, with proven impact on consumer-facing product launches and strategic initiatives.
A strong track record of independently owning high-impact product launches, including testing frameworks and full-funnel marketing campaigns.
Exceptional ability to synthesize ambiguity into actionable strategy, and to provide clarity where there is none.
Mastery of product storytelling, messaging frameworks, and positioning across varied user segments and lifecycle stages, paired with prolific writing skills that translate complex ideas into clear, compelling narratives across channels.
A consumer-obsessed mindset, consistently advocating for user-first thinking and grounding decisions in user behavior and research.
Excellent project management, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills.
Familiarity with tools such as Figma, ClickUp, Amplitude, and Slack to drive GTM planning and collaboration.

Flex your analytics muscle through defining, tracking and communicating key metrics that show the impact of product marketing efforts on product adoption, engagement, and growth.
Translate business objectives and consumer needs into integrated marketing and channel strategies that drive meaningful adoption, engagement, and growth.
Keep the momentum going after launches, leading energizing retros, uncovering what worked (and what didn’t), and turning those insights into smarter tests, sharper iterations and scaled impact.
Bring a highly data-driven approach to decision-making, leveraging quantitative and qualitative insights, including a deep partnership with research to optimize strategy and performance.
Bring a right-brained spark to GTM - using creative, unconventional thinking to solve tough challenges and help us stand out in a crowded, competitive space.

Maintain an understanding of the competitive set, ensuring messaging and positioning stand out in the market and reflect current trends and dynamics.
Serve as the glue between Product, Marketing, Research, and Data, translating insights and data into action, particularly in fast-moving, high-complexity environments.
Partner closely with PMs, Engineers, Researchers, and Designers to inform product strategy and roadmap through consumer insights, competitive landscape, market dynamics, and a deep understanding of emerging cultural trends shaping user behavior.
Identify and validate product hypotheses through testing frameworks and research driven feedback loops.
