Our Values If this sounds like you, you’ll fit right in. We’re looking for a Release Marketer on the Product Marketing Team to build and scale how we communicate product innovation internally and externally. This role sits at the intersection of product marketing, strategy & operations, and AI-driven automation. You will own the end-to-end system for feature releases: transforming a high volume of feature updates into a cohesive, high-quality monthly narrative for customers and go-to-market teams. At the same time, you’ll help shape how our product marketing organization operates—bringing structure, clarity, and AI-first thinking to how we plan, execute, and scale. This is a builder role for someone who thrives in systems, thinks in workflows, and sees automation as a force multiplier—not a shortcut.

Cross-functional collaborator: You work effectively with Product, Marketing, and GTM teams.

Minimum of 7 years of product marketing or GTM experience, with demonstrated ownership of end-to-end GTM execution.
