Senior Program Manager, Product Marketing Operations

Guidewire Software•San Mateo, CA

1d•$126,000 - $228,000

About The Position

This Senior Program Manager, Product Marketing Operations role exists to continuously improve how Guidewire's Product Marketing organization operates by owning and evolving its core programs, field communications, team reporting, shared templates, and operating processes while embedding AI-powered workflows that enable the team to move faster, produce higher-quality work, and operate in increasingly AI-native ways. You will be the operational backbone for how Product Marketing communicates impact, plans work, and shows up with clarity for executives, Sales, Product, and cross‑functional partners. Your work will give your manager and the broader team room to focus on the highest‑leverage parts of the job instead of getting pulled into week‑to‑week execution. There is no established reporting stack yet for Product Marketing, so part of the job is deciding what tools actually fit Guidewire’s environment and setting them up yourself. Before you build anything as a manual process, your first question should be whether it can run on its own instead.

Requirements

Strong program management expertise, including creating workback plans, managing RAID logs, and effectively coordinating across a spectrum of stakeholders, from executives to individual contributors.
Experience running recurring, high‑stakes deliverables (for example, QBRs, executive updates, board‑level reporting) under real deadlines.
Daily, hands-on use of agents and AI tools to move faster and improve quality, not just familiarity with the idea of them.
Enough technical judgment to evaluate and set up reporting and dashboard tools without needing someone else to do it for you.
The ability to get a team to adopt a shared process without having formal authority over the people using it.
Strong synthesis skills: you can translate complex work into clear, concise narratives that executives and cross‑functional partners can act on.
Comfort operating in a high‑growth, evolving environment where not all processes are defined yet and you enjoy defining and improving them.
