The Opportunity

At Springboard, we’re building the online school of the future. Our bootcamps have received rave reviews, with enrollments growing each month. We’ve seen success in Data Science, UI/UX Design and Software Engineering and are expanding quickly to other fields. As a Product Marketing Manager, you will help bring our new programs to thousands of professionals who want to switch careers in the new economy. You will talk to existing customers and prospects, while building hypotheses for new target segments. In this mission-critical function, you need to deeply understand the customer need and voice through their entire journey. You will conduct interviews, surveys and quantitative research - and distill these insights into marketing/sales messaging, and insights for the product team. You will advocate for the user as the ultimate source of truth to guide business decisions. When we launch new features, program offerings and events - you will own the positioning and  communication strategy around these in order to drive awareness and adoption in the market.


Responsibilities:

  • Deeply understanding the customer's needs and voice using quantitative + qualitative techniques.
  • Develop and validate user personas, value propositions, product positioning statements, messaging strategy, user benefits, that will be used to build the marketing flow.

  • Work cross functionally with GMs, Product and Ops teams to source marketing ideas, validate demand for new features, and sharpen our messaging.
  • Collaborate with our Content Marketing to create educational content for prospective customers
  • Run A/B tests on the website to optimize messaging for conversions

You:

  • Are a fearless builder and experimenter, with a passion for launching new products and features
  • Have 1+ years full-time experience in user research (qualitative is higher priority than quantitative), growth marketing or product marketing, preferably at a consumer internet startup
  • Have 1+ years experience creating user-facing marketing content (copy and visuals) with proven results
  • Have deep user empathy and a curiosity for how people make life decisions
  • Have proven experience collaborating with and influencing non-marketing teams like product, operations, acquisition and sales; yours is a team-first mentality
  • Have exceptional written and verbal communication skills, and are able to distill complex insights into accessible language that customers and internal stakeholders can grasp
  • Have a passion for learning about new subjects and audiences and devising solutions and marketing strategies for them.


The Springboard team of 180 works out of offices in the heart of San Francisco and Bengaluru. We’re backed by top investors, including Costanoa Ventures, Reach Capital, Learn Capital, Pearson Ventures, and the founders of LinkedIn and Princeton Review.
