Role
Who you are
- We are looking for a senior operator who has seen what exceptional PMM looks like and is motivated to help build that standard here
- 10–15+ years in Product Marketing or adjacent strategic roles
- Experience in high-growth B2B contexts
- A track record of strengthening positioning, launch rigor, and cross-functional alignment
- Executive presence and the confidence to challenge constructively
- A bias toward clarity, precision, and commercial impact
- Database experience is welcome but not required
- What matters most is intellectual depth, structured thinking, and the hunger to understand complex products and markets
What the job involves
- The Moment:
- Over the past several months, we built a new strategic foundation, redefining Aerospike’s positioning, messaging, and narrative, and establishing an operating model aligned to the company’s next phase of growth
- We are now entering the execution phase
- Turning strategy into discipline
- Turning messaging into organizational clarity
- Turning launches into sustained competitive advantage
- We’re hiring a Senior Product Marketing Manager to help elevate the standard of the function. We are looking for someone who has operated in top-tier SaaS or IaaS environments
- This is a build-for-excellence role focused on refinement, operational rigor, and raising the bar across the organisation
- The Mandate:
- As Senior Product Marketing Manager, you’ll operate as a senior peer within an ambitious PMM team, strengthening and operationalizing the strategic direction already in motion
- Elevate the Strategy:
- Pressure-test and refine positioning as the product evolves
- Ensure clarity is maintained across Product, Sales, and Marketing
- Close the gap between narrative intent and real-world execution
- Build World-Class GTM Discipline:
- Improve and institutionalize launch processes
- Embed PMM earlier and more structurally in the product lifecycle
- Ensure major releases land with clarity, proof, and commercial impact
- Establish measurable accountability for launch success
- Strengthen Competitive Advantage:
- Sharpen differentiation in high-stakes competitive environments
- Improve how our Sales team articulates why we win
- Ensure proof consistently reinforces positioning
- Raise the Bar for the Function:
- Bring experience from high-performing SaaS or IaaS organizations
- Build high-performance processes without introducing bureaucracy
- Lead through influence, clarity, and judgement
- Set a visible standard for excellence across the team
- This role does not immediately require people management, it does require leadership, with future management opportunity for those interested
- Why This Role:
- This role sits at the intersection of strategy and scale.The direction is defined, but the ceiling is much higher. The product is evolving, and GTM must evolve with it
- If you are motivated by building durable excellence rather than simply shipping assets, this is an opportunity to make a visible and lasting impact
Our take
Aerospike is a high speed data platform that promises to reduce server footprints by up to 80%. Aimed at satisfying large-scale data platform requirements, clients include PayPal, Verizon Media, European Central Bank, and Snap Inc.
While there are other data platforms available such as DataStax, Redis Labs and Couchbase, Aerospike sets itself apart through offering no trade off between cost and a high level of performance and consistency on a large scale.
As massive petabyte data sets become the norm for large businesses, Aerospike realises the need for systems that can handle this in real-time. Its release of Aerospike Connect brings connectivity of Aerospike Database 5 with a range of big-name open-source frameworks such as Apache Spark, Presto, Pulsar, Kafka and JMS - making Aerospike products more useful to a wider client set. Impressive Series E funding awarded in 2024 is being used to further develop its AI capabilities, specifically around graph and vector functions, capitalising on the current boom in the machine learning sector.
