Job summary

Peregrine is seeking its first Product Marketing Manager to translate complex technical depth into clear, defensible content for buyers, analysts, and sellers. You will own technical positioning for the core platform and craft a growing library of whitepapers, architecture briefs, and security content, partnering with Solutions Marketing to tailor this for verticals.

The role blends engineering, product marketing, and consulting experience to create compelling narratives that differentiate

Qualifications

• 5+ years of work experience spanning engineering, management consulting, and product marketing; at least one is a primary anchor.
• Engineering background with ability to read a spec and data model and ask sharp questions about architecture.
• Management consulting experience is a strong plus; analytical rigor and structured problem solving are valuable.
• Product marketing experience in B2B SaaS, AI, or data infrastructure with shipped messaging or assets.
• Exceptional writing that resonates with both technical readers and non-technical executives.

Responsibilities

• Own technical positioning and messaging for the core platform: data unification, entity resolution, AI grounding, integration architecture, and the operational AI layer.
• Demystify the category and create first-principles content explaining why unifying data and grounding AI are hard and how architecture supports it.
• Build the technical content library for marketing and sales: whitepapers, architecture briefs, security/compliance content, and AI substantiation.
• Turn competitive intelligence into sales tools and teardowns that compete with horizontal data platforms and AI solutions.
• Contribute product-led narratives to major launches and ensure technical proof points are credible.

Job description

Backed by leading Silicon Valley investors, Peregrine helps public safety organizations, state and local and governments, federal agencies, and private‑sector institutions address society’s challenges with unprecedented speed and accuracy. Our AI‑enabled platform turns siloed and disconnected data into operational intelligence ‑ instantly surfacing mission‑critical information to empower better, faster decisions that improve outcomes at every touchpoint. Today Peregrine supports hundreds of customers across 30+ states and two countries, serving more than 125 million people ‑ and we’re amplifying our impact as we expand into the enterprise and internationally.

The role

Peregrine’s value lives below the surface. We unify dozens of disconnected data sources, resolve entities, preserve context, and ground AI in that unified picture. The visible product is a small fraction of the work that drives customer outcomes. The harder, more durable value lives in the integration layer underneath. This is a builder role for someone excited to make that layer legible, defensible, and competitive for audiences ranging from public safety operators to federal evaluators to commercial technical buyers. Peregrine is creating a category without established head‑to‑head competitors, so a core part of this role is teaching the market what to evaluate.

As the first Product Marketer, you will report to the VP of Product Marketing and join the core PMM team, which owns product positioning, messaging, and competitive narrative across the platform. Peregrine has a technical writer who owns product documentation for existing customers, but there is no technical marketing library yet. You will build that layer from scratch for prospects, analysts, and sellers. Solutions Marketing partners with you to adapt this foundation for specific verticals and audiences.

In this role you will …

• Own technical positioning and messaging for the core platform: data unification, entity resolution, AI grounding, integration architecture, and the operational AI layer built on that foundation.
• Demystify the category itself. Build the first‑principles content that explains why unifying operational data, resolving entities, and grounding AI are genuinely hard problems, why common approaches fall short, and what an architecture built for this work actually requires.
• Build the technical content library the rest of marketing and sales depends on: technical whitepapers, architecture briefs, security and compliance content, and AI substantiation that holds up under public, legal, and political scrutiny.
• Turn competitive technical intelligence into asymmetric sales tools and teardowns that hold up against horizontal data platforms, operational AI platforms, and AI point solutions.
• Contribute product‑led narratives to high‑visibility launches, with focus on the technical proof points that make each launch credible.

What You’ll Bring

• 5+ years of work experience spanning engineering, management consulting, and product marketing. We expect at least one of these to be a primary anchor, with the others as supporting depth.
• Engineering background, whether through a CS or related degree, an early‑career engineering role, or equivalent self‑taught depth. You can read a spec, understand a data model, and ask sharp questions about an architectural decision.
• Management consulting experience is a strong plus. The analytical rigor, structured problem decomposition, and ability to learn complex domains fast that consulting builds transfers directly to this role.
• Product marketing experience, ideally in B2B SaaS, AI, or data infrastructure. You have shipped messaging, sales assets, or technical content that moved a real buyer.
• Exceptional writing. You can produce technical content that holds up to a technical reader and translates cleanly for a non‑technical one.
• Comfort moving between deep technical conversations with engineers and business outcome conversations with executives, without losing either audience.

What success looks like

• Build a working mental model of Peregrine’s platform, deep enough to defend technical claims independently across the stack.
• Sellers reach for your content unprompted in deal cycles.
• Peregrine has a defensible technical narrative against horizontal data platforms, operational AI platforms, and AI point solutions that sellers and prospects can articulate consistently.
• Peregrine’s AI claims hold up under technical and security reviews and public scrutiny.
• Build trusted partnerships with Product, Engineering, Forward Deployed Engineering, Solutions Engineering and Solutions Marketing.
• Influence the product‑led narrative for major launches.

You might thrive in this role if…

• You're curious about how things actually work and unsatisfied with surface explanations.
• You're energized by translation work: taking complex technical depth and making it clear, defensible, and competitive.
• You're energized by category‑shaping work, not just category‑winning work. You’d rather define what "good" looks like than out‑position named competitors on established criteria.
• Writing is a craft for you and you care about getting the details right.
• You move between technical and non‑technical audiences without losing either.
• You want to own a layer of the product story that compounds over time, rather than running one launch after another.
• You’re drawn to mission‑driven work and the chance to support public safety, emergency response, and government agencies with real operational impact.
