Are you ready to own something big? Automox is turning IT admins into IT heroes by replacing traditional tools with our award winning cloud-native endpoint management platform. Our product works autonomously and so do our teams. We value a ‘one team’ mentality where everyone’s unique skills contribute to an environment that encourages collaboration and ownership.

This is a player-coach role: you'll lead and grow a small, high-leverage PMM team while personally owning strategic programs including competitive intelligence, pricing and packaging, and analyst relations. You'll be the connective tissue between Product, Sales, Customer Success, and the rest of Marketing — turning product capability into differentiated narrative and measurable pipeline.

- Occasional travel to events
