Technical Product Manager, Havenly Brands

• This role is perfect for someone who gets excited about transforming blast campaigns into sophisticated automation journeys, who can architect data flows between systems, and who thrives at the intersection of marketing strategy and technical implementation
• Think less traditional Product Manager, more Marketing Technology Architect who can lead through influence and drive measurable business outcomes
• This is a hands-on role for someone who loves diving into the details while maintaining a strategic vision for an AI-first marketing future
• AI-forward mindset - excited about leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning to solve marketing challenges, with the understanding that AI makes technical tasks more accessible to everyone
• Automation evangelist who constantly seeks opportunities to eliminate manual processes and build self-improving systems - you don't need to code them yourself, but you need to envision them
• Strategic thinker with technical curiosity who asks the right questions and can work with technical teams to find solutions, even if you're not implementing them personally
• Learning agility - in an AI-powered world, the ability to quickly adopt new tools and technologies matters more than deep expertise in any single platform
• Systems thinker who understands how changes in one platform impact the entire marketing ecosystem and can anticipate downstream effects
• Strong communicator who can speak the language of both business stakeholders and technical teams, translating between strategy and implementation
• Process-minded with the ability to design and implement systems that scale, while maintaining the flexibility to adapt quickly to changing business needs
• Highly organized and detail-oriented, able to manage complex backlogs, technical dependencies, and competing priorities across multiple brands
• Collaborative leader who builds trust across teams, mentors others, and isn't afraid to make tough decisions when needed
• Analytical and data-driven, comfortable leveraging both qualitative insights and quantitative metrics to guide technical and strategic decisions
• Platform experience: Hands-on experience with at least one major marketing automation platform (HubSpot, Braze, Klaviyo, Marketo, etc.) - you understand the strategic capabilities, even if you're not the one writing the code
• AI/ML curiosity, awareness, and experience: Understanding of how AI can transform marketing - predictive analytics, intelligent segmentation, content optimization, and automated decision-making. You don't need to build models, but you should know when and why to use them, and not be afraid of using AI to build a script or a prototype, or to automate analysis
• Data architecture concepts: Familiarity with how customer data flows between systems (CRM, CDP, ESP) and why it matters. You can envision the ideal state even if you need technical partners to build it
• Automation mindset: Experience identifying manual processes that should be automated and the ability to design the solution conceptually, then work with technical teams to implement
• Email marketing fundamentals: Understanding of deliverability concepts, list health, and engagement metrics - the strategy behind successful email programs, not the technical configuration
• Experience with lifecycle marketing optimization - moving from one-off campaigns to always-on, self-optimizing programs
• Understanding of customer journey mapping and multi-touch attribution with emphasis on automated journey optimization
• Ability to define marketing technology roadmaps that balance quick automation wins with platform transformation
• Experience implementing AI-driven testing frameworks for continuous optimization across channels and campaigns
• Knowledge of predictive analytics for forecasting, budget optimization, and resource allocation
• Experience migrating between ESPs or implementing CDPs with automation in mind
• Previous product management experience is valuable, but we're primarily looking for someone with strategic vision, an automation mindset, and the leadership potential to grow into a senior product role
• Technical skills can be learned - especially in an AI era where tools are becoming more accessible. What matters most is your ability to identify opportunities, design solutions conceptually, and drive implementation through influence and collaboration
• We want someone who gets energized by the challenge of building intelligent, self-improving marketing systems that scale across multiple brands
• If you can envision the future state and rally teams to build it - even if you need AI and technical partners to handle the implementation details - we want to hear from you
• If you're someone who sees AI and automation not just as buzzwords but as fundamental tools for reimagining marketing operations, and you're excited to learn and grow with these technologies, this role is for you
