About The Position

Waves is the operating system behind the world’s best creator programmes. Built for brands, creators, and the teams that bring them together, Waves brings together the technology needed to run creator campaigns at scale. Today, it powers every Influencer campaign, supporting critical parts of the creator marketing workflow from discovery and campaign management through to content approvals, live reporting, and payments. Our ambition goes much further. We are entering the next phase of Waves, expanding the platform to new external users, testing new use cases and commercial models, and building a more scalable technology-led revenue stream alongside our core creator marketing services. We are looking for a Regional Product Marketing Manager to become the Waves expert for North America and help lead that next phase. This is not a conventional PMM role focused only on messaging, launches, and sales decks. You will sit at the intersection of users, clients, Product, Engineering, Client Services, Brand Partnerships, and specialist teams across the business, acting as the person your region turns to on all things Waves. You will own regional support and enablement, launch new features, train internal teams, onboard external users, provide early customer success support, lead user research, shape go-to-market activity, and work directly with the Global VP Product Solutions & Operations to investigate future product and commercial opportunities. We are looking for an experienced product marketer who can come in with a point of view, bring proven PMM discipline into the business, establish best practice, and take genuine ownership from day one. You should be able to show us how excellent product marketing works, rather than wait to be given a detailed playbook.
