Company mission
To redefine the applicant tracking system (ATS) category, providing talent teams with analytics, workflows and automation.
Role
Who you are
- This is a great fit for someone who enjoys being in the weeds of technical products, but also has a sharp editorial voice, strong product instincts, and loves to always be shipping
- There is not a single background that is the perfect fit for this role. We care more about the skills and intrinsic capabilities you bring to the table, and could see someone from a number of different backgrounds being a good fit, including:
- Product Marketing
- Product Management
- Solutions / Sales Engineering
- Sales Enablement
- Technical L&D
- You’ve got an exceptional eye for detail - people consistently trust you as the final eye on something because you catch more than just typos every time
- You’re the person people ping and say, “Can you just explain this feature in normal words?” and you actually can
- You know how to shape a good demo that tells a story. Not just “click here, then here” but “here’s how this solves your problem.”
- You are comfortable owning your own copy and collaborating with design teams to produce well-polished assets
- You can read a launch plan and immediately hear the voices of Sales and CS in your head “but what about XYZ?”, and you’ve already worked with technical and product teams for the answer
- You can follow a playbook but are not afraid to go back to first principles thinking and build something from scratch without much direction
What the job involves
- We’re a small team with high standards and mutual respect for our teammates and community. The way we do Product Marketing at Ashby reflects that, all with a good dose of fun 🎉
- We’re looking for a Senior Product Marketing Manager who is excited about owning product launches
- This role is for someone who thrives on the details but understands the bigger picture – someone who can clearly explain technical launches and how they benefit prospects and customers in their daily workflows and approach to talent acquisition
- Someone who wants to work closely with Product and Engineering to understand how a feature works, and act as a translator for the front-line teams. That means translating product specs into the materials, messaging, and demos that power our launches
- You’ll obsess over how we tell our product story - from crafting one-pagers and recording crisp, clear product videos, to hosting quarterly launch events that make a splash in the market, to building internal enablement that allows our team to tell our differentiated story
- Own go-to-market planning and execution for all feature releases and new products
- Work closely with Product Managers to shape value propositions, messaging, and demo strategies
- Create assets including blog posts, one-pagers, demo videos, internal launch docs, and enablement materials
- Host quarterly launch events for our Tier 1 product launches
- Serve as the product expert and go-to resource for launch messaging and positioning
- Collaborate closely with Solutions Engineering, RevOps, and Enablement teams to ensure audiences across the organization are best-equipped through their channels
- Leverage AI, automation, and systems to efficiently ship GTM plans for a high velocity of product releases, giving yourself time back for more high leverage work
- Shape how individual launches connect to Ashby’s platform story in collaboration with the broader Marketing and Product teams
- Develop compelling narratives that tie together multiple product features and package them for both internal teams and the market
- Hi I’m Rosalia, and I lead our Product Marketing team at Ashby
- I started my career in Product Marketing and helped build the Sales Enablement function at HubSpot during its journey from startup to IPO
- Since then, I’ve worked across RevOps and Customer Marketing at Procore and Meta, partnering with incredible teams to bring differentiated products to market
- I first heard of Ashby through our Head of Content, Anum, with whom I’d spent those early days at HubSpot, and was inspired by the level of thoughtfulness and operating principles I saw and read about
- I joined Ashby in April of 2024 back in Product Marketing - bringing all these experiences together to help build a thoughtful, high-impact team

Our take
Reportedly, 50% of employers don’t use applicant tracking systems, largely because of blockers with implementation or insufficient buy-in from top management. Ashby's co-founder and CEO, Benji Encz, experienced first-hand how existing solutions failed to support hyper-growth hiring needs whilst working at PlanGrid, which is in part what led to the creation of the company.
Ashby is looking to redefine the ATS category - providing talent teams with analytics, workflows and automation - and intends to replace solutions from well-established vendors like Greenhouse and Lever with algorithms. The company's AI can schedule interviews and infer demographic data, which clients use for aggregate analyses of DEI hiring metrics.
The market for recruitment software could potentially reach $3.5 billion by 2030. Unsurprisingly, there is now a growing number of startups emerging to compete for a slice of it. Despite the crowded market and having only emerged from stealth in 2022, Ashby has already secured over 500 clients (including high-profile customers like Notion and Figma). The company has also attracted impressive funding which will be used to expand its product offering beyond what is typically expected from an ATS.
