Role
Who you are
- 3-6 years of marketing/product marketing experience, ideally in B2C (Consumer Apps), SaaS, or AI
- Experience marketing to multiple user segments: You understand how to craft positioning that resonates with both students and professionals, and can navigate the nuances of each audience's needs, pain points, and decision-making processes
- Proven experience launching AI or ML-driven products: You understand the nuances of marketing AI (trust, privacy, iteration) and can navigate the rapid pace of this sector
- Research & Insights Excellence: You have a strong track record of conducting user research, synthesizing competitive intelligence, and translating insights into compelling positioning and GTM strategies
- Data Fluency: You are comfortable working with data to extract actionable insights, identify trends and patterns, and recommend strategic next steps based on your analysis
What the job involves
- As a Product Marketing Manager, you will act as the "CEO" of a specific user segment. You will own the comprehensive understanding of this audience—uncovering their workflows, motivations, and pain points through rigorous research
- You won't just be a marketer; you will be a strategist and a system-builder
- You will translate insights into "Source of Truth" personas, architect systematic Go-to-Market (GTM) plans for new features (including AI), and enable the entire company to build with your user in mind
- Unlocking Truths through Rigor: You don’t guess; you validate. You are excited to lead a systematic research agenda—conducting deep-dive interviews, running surveys, and analyzing behavioral data to build data-backed personas and knowledge bases that serve as the internal source of truth
- Architecting the GTM "Machine": You are systematic and process-obsessed. You don’t just execute launches; you build the frameworks, trackers, and retro processes that allow us to launch features to different segments without friction. You bring order to chaos
- Strategic Positioning & Narrative: You love the puzzle of differentiation. You can map the competitive landscape, identify our "wedge" in the market, and craft messaging that clearly articulates why Goodnotes is the superior choice for your specific audience
- Hypothesis-Driven Marketing: You treat marketing as a science. You are eager to set up experiments, pilot new messaging, and use data to iterate on our strategy before scaling it to the wider market
- Internal Enablement: You want to be the knowledge hub. You are excited to create the "Market Playbook"—the organized libraries of personas, competitor battle cards, and messaging guides—that empower our Product, Sales, and Exec teams to make smarter decisions

Our take
Goodnotes is a digital note-taking tool for handwritten notes and (formerly) paper-based information. Thanks to its signature vector ink engine, the app delivers a precise and natural writing experience. It can read handwriting (even the worst handwriting) and allow users to search it, as well as convert it to text for easy sharing into other apps or even web pages. Goodnotes also supports importing, searching, and navigation through PDF, PowerPoint, Word, image files, and more.
The platform is available across iPhone, iPad and Mac. One of the leading note-taking solutions on the App Store (with over 14,000 positive reviews) it competes with apps like Notability and Paper by WeTransfer. Founded in Hong Kong, Goodnotes now operates across the UK and with a number of new features and acquisitions, its proving a powerhouse in digital productivity.
