Product Marketing Manager

DrFirst Inc.•,

3d•$130,000 - $150,000•Remote

About The Position

DrFirst has a functioning marketing team. Communications, PR, content, and design are in place. What is missing is the strategic center of gravity that makes all of it commercially sharp. The Product Marketing Manager owns the story. You sit at the intersection of Product, Analytics, and the commercial organization, translating what DrFirst builds into precise messaging that Sales uses to win, Client Success uses to retain, and the marketing team executes against. You are embedded in the product development cycle, not downstream of it. This role requires both strategic depth and feature-level fluency. You must understand DrFirst's products well enough to write a demo script, train a sales rep on a new release, and articulate the Patient vs. Provider positioning distinction to a C-suite audience, often in the same week. You set the messaging direction and own the brief. MarCom writes, design produces, and comms amplifies. You define the message, drive quality and speed, and work through MarCom to deliver, and directly with designers and writers when the timeline or complexity requires it.

Requirements

5+ years in product marketing or a closely related commercial strategy role within healthcare technology, health IT, or B2B SaaS
Demonstrated experience building messaging frameworks and positioning from the ground up, not just executing someone else's strategy
Proven track record working directly with Product and Engineering teams, attending sprint reviews and translating technical outputs for commercial audiences
Experience writing or contributing to demo scripts, talk tracks, and sales training materials
Experience delivering product training or enablement to commercial teams, including release briefings and competitive updates
Background in competitive intelligence research, synthesizing findings into field-ready guidance
Hands-on experience sourcing, verifying, and framing quantitative evidence for market-facing use
Experience briefing and directing creative and content teams, holding output accountable to a brief without doing the execution
Prior experience in a HIPAA-regulated or healthcare enterprise environment preferred
Familiarity with e-prescribing, pharmacy benefit, point-of-care, or clinical workflow technology preferred
Exceptional written communication: sharp, precise messaging documents, demo scripts, briefs, and frameworks others can execute from without further interpretation
Feature-level product fluency: willing and able to go deep on how DrFirst's products work, not just what they do
Strong analytical mindset: sourcing data, identifying the right metrics, and framing numbers as proof points
Organizational influence without authority: setting messaging direction that content, design, comms, and sales teams follow without a direct reporting line
Strategic clarity on multi-audience positioning: holding distinct Patient and Provider narratives without fracturing the platform story
Fluency with AI tools as a working aid to research faster, draft sharper, and think more broadly
Structured thinking and project management discipline: tracking multiple workstreams, maintaining version control, meeting commercial deadlines
Strong executive communication skills across Product, Sales, and Marketing
Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Communications, Business, or a related field required

Nice To Haves

MBA or advanced degree a plus
Product marketing certifications (Pragmatic Institute, Product Marketing Alliance, or equivalent) a plus

Responsibilities

Own the master messaging framework for DrFirst's products and solutions, positioning, value props, proof points, and audience-specific narratives, as the single source of truth the entire commercial organization works from
Position to Patient and Provider audiences: different buyers, different problems, different language, one coherent platform story
Develop deep familiarity with DrFirst's feature set, enough to write accurately, brief confidently, and train effectively, and keep that knowledge current as products evolve
Keep messaging current as products change, results come in, and the competitive landscape shifts; deprecate outdated claims proactively
Attend product reviews, sprint demos, and roadmap sessions; identify what matters commercially and translate it into clear, benefit-focused communications before the market hears it elsewhere
Digest release notes and engineering updates and produce the commercial interpretation: what changed, why it matters to customers, and what Sales and Client Success should say in renewal conversations and new business pitches
Surface the commercial nuggets buried in technical updates and get them into the hands of the field quickly
Position each release as evidence of DrFirst's innovation velocity with existing customers, not just a feature announcement
Produce the talk track for how DrFirst's products work, the narrative a seller or Client Success manager follows to show value, handle objections, and move a conversation forward
Join the product development cycle early enough to shape how new features are demonstrated, not just how they are described after the fact
Develop and maintain demo scripts for key product lines and use cases; update them with each significant release or competitive shift
Serve as the keeper of DrFirst's performance statistics, the master record of results, program outcomes, and platform metrics used in market-facing messaging
Work with Analytics and Client Success to surface, verify, and contextualize results; ensure every external proof point is specific, current, and defensible
Build a repeatable process for capturing and refreshing data so the commercial team never sells with stale or unverifiable claims
Translate raw results into proof points with proper framing for a brand marketer, a health system executive, or a pharma media buyer
Own product enablement for the commercial team: release training, product deep-dives, and new feature briefings for Sales and Client Success
Partner with sales enablement on ongoing training, coaching, and reinforcement so messaging accuracy holds between launch and the field conversation
Own positioning and competitive updates as a standing responsibility; brief the commercial team on what to say when a prospect raises a competitor
Conduct ongoing research into competitor positioning, product launches, and go-to-market strategies, including Epic's expanding capabilities in this space
Gather field intelligence with the commercial team: what competitors say in deals, what objections surface, and what influences buyer decisions
Provide the research and commercial analysis that populates MarCom's competitive battle cards; own the accuracy and currency of that input
Partner with Product Management to translate the roadmap into forward-looking narratives the commercial team can speak to confidently
Tell the commercial innovation story, using examples like Timely Studio's self-serve custom demo capabilities to demonstrate the pace and direction of investment
Develop and own the narrative for how DrFirst uses AI in its products and commercial processes, translated into honest, specific, benefit-led messages for a healthcare audience
