At FourKites we have the opportunity to tackle complex challenges with real-world impacts. Whether it’s medical supplies from Cardinal Health or groceries for Walmart, the FourKites platform helps customers operate global supply chains that are efficient, agile and sustainable.

Join a team of curious problem solvers that celebrates differences, leads with empathy and values inclusivity.

FourKites is looking for a Product Marketing Manager to join our Marketing team! As a Product Marketing Manager you will play a critical role in telling the story of FourKites’ platform, and helping position our solutions the right way to the right people. You will be a critical member of the team responsible for defining, positioning and driving the message, strategy and content to engage buyers.

What you'll be doing:

The Product Marketing Manager is a primary advocate for the feature set and benefits of our solutions, and is instrumental in crafting the strategy around the messaging and marketing for the product line. This role works closely with Product, Sales and other Marketing team members to deliver messaging, content and campaigns that drive revenue.

  • Be an expert on the buyers, influencers and the buyer's journey. Document the buying process, buying criteria and the key pain points buyers are trying to address
  • Work with Product, Sales, and other Marketing team members to build and deliver differentiated messaging and positioning for the FourKites platform
  • Together with the Product team, educate both internal and external stakeholders about platform features and benefits
  • Create compelling solution content (e.g. sales enablement documentation, case studies, product videos, website copy, blog posts, Quora/forum responses, sales and executive presentation decks), and work with the Marketing, Sales, Product, Business Development, and executive teams to activate the content as needed through multi-channel campaigns
  • Assist members of our Sales team on calls with prospects, when appropriate, to provide deeper insights into the product
  • Act as a thought leader and evangelist for the platform, including internal training, external speaking engagements, analyst calls and written work

Who you are:

The ideal candidate has experience in the Supply Chain industry, with an understanding of our buyers and their needs. You have the ability to translate FourKites’ unique value to different industry segments and can work in a highly dynamic market, understanding a rapidly changing competitive landscape. This role excels in understanding customer-centric and market-based requirements and how they pertain to FourKites’ solutions, and can easily distill complex concepts into compelling and consumable content that resonates with target buyers. 

  • BA/BS degree or equivalent working experience
  • Past experience in product marketing, and/or product management in enterprise software, and preferably in supply chain
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills - there is a heavy amount of writing and presenting/selling ideas in this role
  • Proficiency in content management systems. You will be expected to build product pages, optimize the conversion paths on those pages, and use dynamic calls-to-action to drive buyer behavior
  • Prefer working in a fast-paced, collaborative capacity. This role requires you to work across functions and departments to bring the product to life in a clear and compelling manner

We know that job postings can be intimidating, and research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other marginalized folks tend to only apply when they check every box. We encourage you to apply if you think you may be a fit and give us both a chance to find out!

An Insider's view of FourKites

How does your team reward individual success?

We find that getting to know what motivates a team member allows us to give more valuable and appreciated rewards and recognition. It could be a team meeting shout out for a job well done, a gift card through our wish list program, an exciting new project that allows the employee to work with new teams or departments or even a spot bonus.

Amanda

Director, Talent & Development, Talent Acquisitions

What projects are you most excited about?

I had the privilege of being involved in the development of Appointment Manager and providing feedback when it was just a "simple" calendar designed to assist our customers in organizing appointments based on real-time ETAs. The utilization of this tool yields significant time savings, making it an undeniable favorite of mine.

Kayla

Customer Enablement Manager

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

From day one, I have been encouraged to explore my professional interests. I had only been an individual contributor in previous roles but was interested in people management – here, I have had the opportunity to grow into a manager role and the company has sponsored my participation in leadership programs to support my professional development.

Helen

Manager of Professional Services

How do you empower your team to be more creative?

The design team goes beyond being creative. We are strategic thinkers who execute scalable and sustainable product user experiences for our customers. Empathy is at the core of our design and more importantly, the entire FourKites company. I always encourage my team to think through our customer's lens in order to be the most impactful.
