What the job involves
- We are looking for a Product Marketing Manager to lead the messaging and positioning for our Ecosystem product group, which includes the Marketplace, Extensibility platform, and Developer Experience. This role is pivotal in ensuring that our ecosystem solutions are clearly understood and adopted by customers, partners, and developers alike
- You’ll collaborate closely with Product, Sales, Partner Marketing, Partnerships, Enablement, and the broader Marketing and GTM teams to shape messaging, build launch strategies, and drive adoption across multiple audiences
- This is a high-impact role for someone excited to work at the intersection of platform strategy, developer experience, and partner-led growth
- Product Positioning & Messaging: You will be responsible for developing clear and differentiated positioning and messaging for the Ecosystem product group—including the Marketplace, Extensibility features, and Developer Experience. Your focus will be on articulating how these capabilities create business value, crafting content that resonates with both technical and non-technical audiences. Messaging should align with Contentful’s overall brand narrative while highlighting the specific strengths of the Ecosystem offering
- Go-to-Market Strategy & Execution: You will collaborate closely with the GTM PMM team and lead go-to-market execution for new partner-driven initiatives and launches across the Ecosystem. This includes defining and executing campaigns in close collaboration with other marketing functions such as Brand, Content, Demand Generation, and Events.

This includes messaging frameworks, announcement copy, sales enablement tools, and case studies. You’ll work with Sales and Enablement to make sure our teams are equipped to communicate the value of our ecosystem to customers and prospects alike
- Market Research & Insights: You will collaborate closely with the Product Research team to gather insights on market trends, customer needs, and the competitive landscape. These insights will help validate positioning, inform messaging, and shape go-to-market priorities. Your ability to synthesize research into actionable recommendations will directly influence Ecosystem strategy
- Performance Measurement: You’ll be responsible for tracking the impact of your work through key metrics such as adoption, engagement, and partner-driven growth. By analyzing performance and surfacing insights, you’ll continuously improve messaging, refine GTM plans, and ensure your efforts are driving real business outcomes
Our take
Creating, distributing and managing digital content can be complex, time-consuming and difficult, especially at scale. Contentful solves this problem by centralizing all content management into one API-based system.
Since founding in 2013, Contentful has grown to become one of the largest companies of its kind. It now serves thousands of customers, many of which are enterprises such as Danone and Bang & Olufsen. Importantly, the company has continued to improve its offering, for example by partnering with eSSENTIAL Accessibility to offer a way for users to achieve ADA compliance.
In recent years, Contentful has grown its executive team, attracting top talent from companies like Zendesk and Atlassian which has helped to accelerate its ambitious growth strategy. It has also expanded its relationship with AWS, launching the Contentful Composable Content Platform in AWS Marketplace, a key move that will help to broaden its reach and ensure it remains a key player in the competitive CMS market.
