About The Role

We are looking for an energetic, unstoppable Senior Product Marketing Manager to lead our Product Marketing team! Reporting into EVP of Marketing, the Senior Product Marketing Manager will be responsible for overseeing how Yello brings new products and features to market. As the leader of the product marketing team, you will be responsible for communicating the features and benefits of our products through compelling storytelling and ensuring Product Marketing team members grow and flourish with the overall organization. 

You will be expected to be an evangelist for Yello’s product set and its benefits.

Our ideal candidate will have industry expertise in HR Technology or experience working with SaaS companies. An attention to detail and an eye for quality, along with the ability to grasp and present our product’s value proposition in a way that resonates and clearly articulates how we solve our buyers’ problems will be critical. Tracking performance and using data to prove what’s working and what isn’t will drive success.
