We are looking for an exceptional Product Marketing Manager to build out our Merchant Payments Acceptance Payment Product propositions and marketing suite.

As a Lead Product Marketing Manager you’ll be a seasoned product marketing professional, with excellent verbal and written communication skills, along with proven project management and relationship-building ability. You will thrive on autonomy, being able to plan ahead and execute at the same time, and will bring a good working knowledge of product marketing tools and analytical techniques.

Reporting to the Director of Product, Merchant Acquiring, you will craft our merchant payments acceptance strategy on a global basis. You’ll work closely with the product and marketing teams, bringing market and competitive insights to life, and directly shaping our product strategy. You’ll then work closely with operations, analytics, CRM, copy & visual design to bring these products to life and deliver an effective go-to-market strategy.

Some of the things you’ll be doing:

• Developing strategic product, value proposition, positioning and messaging informed by user research, market insights, and product understanding to deliver for our member’s needs.
• Working with business, product, sales, product design, engineering, and marketing channel teams to scope the market opportunities in existing and new markets, develop product positioning, and define the go-to-market plan.
• Using data to identify specific opportunities to drive results in-app (eg: where do customers drop off in the funnel, what can be done to address this, what gaps exist and how can we close these?)
• Defining the best approach for Tide to launch new features and products. Create a tested model for channels, positioning and effort. Define and track the right success metrics.
• Collaborating closely with other Product Managers at Tide to help inform and guide product roadmaps utilising feedback loops from members, external research and data driven insight.

• Scale and lead a team of product marketing managers as per the growth needs of the merchant acquiring business.

What we are looking for

• You have 7+ years' relevant product marketing experience.
• You have experience in and understanding of the SME space, SaaS software and/or fintech. Previous experience in working with physical point of sale or eCommerce payment acceptance products especially in the SME space is preferable.
• You have a track record of successful end-to-end product marketing campaigns: defining the value proposition, creating effective product marketing materials and ensuring successful execution with a cross-functional team; we’re after someone who’s not afraid to get their hands dirty and remove any blockers that might be on the critical path.
• You’re comfortable working in a fast-moving company where priorities can change and processes may need to be created from scratch.
• You have very strong project management skills and can foster collaboration with teams outside of your direct control by building strong relationships.
• You’re well versed in product analytics, and can use data to drive decisions within product marketing campaigns.
• You’ve worked across multiple markets, and have managed the complexities of global product development with limited localisation as required.
• You’re a self-starter who doesn’t wait for instruction, and who works backwards from targets to ensure effective execution.
