At Dutchie, we power the technology that helps cannabis dispensaries and brands thrive. From point of sale and payments to e-commerce and supply chain, we’re building the backbone of a modern, compliant, and customer-friendly cannabis industry.
We’re looking for a Director of Product Marketing to own how our products - and our company - show up in the market. This is a senior, hands-on leadership role responsible for setting product marketing direction, shaping our narrative, and driving clarity and consistency across go-to-market efforts. The ideal candidate blends strategic storytelling, deep product fluency, and modern, AI-enabled workflows to accelerate impact while maintaining a high bar for quality and craft.
What You’ll Do…- Own Dutchie’s product and solution positioning end-to-end, setting clear, compelling, and differentiated narratives across marketing, sales, product, and executive communications.
- Define and steward the company’s product story, ensuring consistency and clarity across launches, GTM motions, customer-facing materials, and internal alignment.
- Set the standard for AI-enabled product marketing, using AI tools to accelerate research, insight generation, messaging iteration, and content creation while maintaining a high bar for quality and brand integrity.
- Partner closely with Product leadership to influence roadmaps, ensure features are built with strong product-market fit, and translate product intent into customer-relevant value.
- Lead competitive and market intelligence, synthesizing research, customer insights, and win/loss learnings into actionable guidance for Product, Marketing, and Sales.
- Personally create and refine high-impact PMM assets (messaging frameworks, launch narratives, sales enablement, executive materials), while ensuring strategy translates cleanly into execution.
- Act as a cross-functional PMM leader, aligning stakeholders and driving clarity where ambiguity exists, so positioning decisions stick and scale.
- 8-12+ years of experience across product marketing, product, strategy, or growth, with recent, hands-on ownership of core PMM responsibilities including positioning, launches, and narrative.
- Proven ability to operate at both strategic and executional levels, knowing when to set direction and when to dive in.
- Strong experience leveraging AI tools to materially increase PMM velocity and effectiveness, not just experimentation.
- Deep fluency in modern PMM frameworks (e.g., Jobs-to-Be-Done, value-based positioning, category framing) and how to apply them in practice.
- Exceptional product and brand storytelling skills — clear, compelling, and grounded in customer and market insight.
- Track record of influencing product direction through insight, not authority.
- B2B SaaS experience required; experience in regulated or complex markets strongly preferred.
- Executive presence with the ability to deliver clear, compelling plans and effectively incorporate executive-level feedback.
We are targeting a starting salary of $170,000 - $230,000 based on the intended level for this role.
In addition to cash compensation, our total rewards package includes:
- Full medical benefits including dental and vision plans to ensure you always have the best care.
- Equity packages in the form of stock options to all employees.
- Technology (hardware, software, reading materials, etc..) allowance
- Flexible vacation and sick days
At Dutchie, we’re committed to providing an environment of mutual respect where equal employment opportunities are available to all applicants and teammates without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, pregnancy, age, national origin, disability status, genetic information, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
