Product Marketing Manager - job at GoCardless

About us

At GoCardless we believe bank payments are the best way to pay and get paid. We also believe that bank account data is a powerful tool to make better, faster decisions. We’re making it easy to use both- for businesses everywhere.

GoCardless is used for domestic and international payments by 75,000+ organisations and counting, processing more than $30 billion across 30 countries. We’re an award-winning London based fintech, with additional offices in Riga, Paris and Melbourne.

The role

The mission of the International Group is to find fit in our strategic international markets and continue to accelerate our growth as we further expand in each region. The International Group will continue to experiment on where we play and our positioning to ensure we win.

With our 3 primary international markets being: The EU, North America and Australia & New Zealand, we are truly spread globally and must keep local market nuances and localisation at the heart of everything we do as a Group.

As the Product Marketing Manager for International you’ll report into the Head of Commercial Strategy (International) and sit in the Commercial Strategy Team. It will be your job to ensure we refine our Ideal Customer Profile and completely understand the needs of our customers so we can best deliver sustainable growth in each market. You will also have a secondary focus (25% of your time) working on strategic initiatives related to our commercial strategy.

What excites you

At GoCardless and in the International Group, Product Marketing can really be summarised in four core activities.

Where should we play i.e who is our Ideal Customer Profile in each market
How do we ensure that customer-facing teams have the right positioning, messaging, tools and pain-driven data points to drive growth in our target segments
How do we launch new products and initiatives across the world in a way that generates maximum adoption
How do we listen to and understand the market so we can make more effective decisions as a business

Furthermore, this role will include:

Working with the Group leadership team to refine the yearly strategy through agile data-driven decision-making
Becoming an expert in the ideal customer journey and working cross-functionally to optimise that journey

There’s a lot of work to be done, but one of our key tenets for 2023/24 is “do fewer things, better”. We want to select the activities that will have the maximum impact on the business and focus on them.

What excites us

Prior experience of taking innovative new B2B products and features to market
You believe that product launch doesn’t stop at launch - adoption and business impact is how you measure yourself. You have developed innovative messaging, positioning and value proposition frameworks for complex problems and new products.
You are adept at market research and can demonstrate influencing business and product strategy as a result of that research.
You have strong quantitative analytical skills and are experienced in extracting insights from data.
You know that talking to customers is the best way to understand the challenges they face, and frequently do so.
You have a lot of experience engaging with product and engineering teams to solve customers problems.
You enjoy working independently, given a set of objectives.
You also enjoy cross-functional work with disparate areas of the business.
