VP, Product Marketing Manager

Perion Network•Chicago, IL

About The Position

Perion is a global advertising technology company delivering solutions to the biggest brands and publishers around the globe across search, social media and display, video, CTV, and programmatic DOOH. Home to an award-winning technology solution –– with our unique data-driven AI/ML based technologies, we deliver and optimize hundreds of terabytes of data and billions of events per day. We’re working with dozens of sources to provide a superior experience across screens and platforms, including mobile, video, social and native. About the position: Perion is hiring a VP, of Product Marketing, located in EST or CST time zones to own how the world understands and buys our advertising technology. This is not a support function—it’s a revenue-driving, strategy-shaping leadership role at the center of how Perion grows. You’ll lead three teams—Demand PMM, Supply & Partnership PMM, and Solutions Marketing—and be accountable for the full product marketing surface area: positioning, go-to-market execution, sales enablement, competitive intelligence, pricing strategy, and customer advocacy. Your work will directly influence pipeline, win rates, and how Perion shows up in the market globally. The ideal candidate moves fluently between crafting a board-ready narrative and coaching a rep through a deal. You combine strategic rigor with creative instinct, and you’re energized by the complexity of a multi-product, multi-audience, global adtech business.

Requirements

12+ years in product marketing with 5+ years leading PMM teams, ideally in adtech or martech
Deep fluency in the digital advertising ecosystem—programmatic, CTV, DOOH, retail media, audience targeting, measurement, and privacy-first solutions.
Proven track record of building positioning, GTM strategies, and enablement programs that measurably moved pipeline, win rates, and revenue.
Experience with pricing and packaging strategy in a multi-product, multi-audience environment.
Strong competitive intelligence instincts—you’ve built CI programs, not just consumed reports.
Exceptional storytelling and executive communication skills; comfortable with C-suite, customers, and large audiences.
Experience managing global, distributed teams and adapting marketing programs for regional markets.
Fluency with modern PMM tooling and AI-powered workflows for content creation, competitive monitoring, and market analysis.

Run structured win/loss analysis and feed insights back into messaging, product development, and competitive strategy.
Partner with global Sales leadership to ensure PMM output directly accelerates deal velocity and win rates.
Build a continuous competitive intelligence engine—tracking competitor positioning, product moves, pricing changes, and emerging ad formats across global markets.
