Join Yourco as the Founding Product Marketing Manager and play a pivotal role in shaping the company's market presence from day one. In this strategic position based in Chicago, you will own the end-to-end go-to-market strategy for our innovative product portfolio. You will be responsible for crafting compelling product positioning, developing clear messaging frameworks, and creating content that resonates with target audiences. Working closely with product, engineering, and sales teams, you will ensure consistent brand storytelling across all customer touchpoints while driving awareness and adoption.
Key responsibilities include conducting market and competitive research to identify opportunities and threats, developing buyer personas and customer journeys, creating sales enablement materials such as presentations, case studies, and battle cards, and executing product launch campaigns. You will also collaborate with leadership to define pricing strategies, positioning statements, and value propositions that differentiate Yourco in the marketplace. Additionally, you will establish and track key performance metrics to measure marketing effectiveness and continuously refine strategies based on data insights.

Proficiency with marketing tools and platforms, along with a deep understanding of customer needs and market dynamics, will set you apart.
Required qualifications include a bachelor's degree in marketing, business, communications, or a related field, demonstrated success in developing go-to-market plans, and experience creating customer-facing content. Preferred skills include familiarity with product-led growth strategies, knowledge of marketing automation tools, and the ability to thrive in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
