What’s cool about this job?

WP Engine is expanding SaaS-based products, driving market growth, and exploring strategic investments, including M&A opportunities. This role shapes the future of our product portfolio and drives market expansion to fuel growth. As the Director of Product Marketing, you will lead our go-to-market efforts and drive product success from concept to adoption. This role is ideal for a world-class storyteller and product marketing leader who thrives in cross-functional environments, dives into customer insights, and turns complex ideas into simple, compelling narratives.

You’ll own the full product lifecycle—from informing the roadmap with market insights, to launching new features with impact, to driving long-term adoption and growth. You’ll use product marketing frameworks and tools, lead a small high-performing team, and collaborate with other Director-level peers across product, marketing, and sales. We’re excited about someone who is experimenting with or actively using AI to increase productivity and scale impact. You’ll be at the forefront of transforming our product offerings into market leaders while driving revenue and business growth through strategic marketing initiatives.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead product marketing strategy across the full product lifecycle, from market research and positioning to launch and customer adoption.
  • Craft messaging and positioning that resonates with core audiences and supports sales, customer success, and brand goals.
  • Drive go-to-market execution for new product launches and feature releases, including enablement, campaign strategy, and content development.
  • Partner with Product Management to bring the voice of the customer into the roadmap and ensure alignment on what is built and why.
  • Own pricing and packaging recommendations for your products.
  • Own competitive intelligence and deliver actionable insights that inform product decisions and market positioning.
  • Manage and mentor a small product marketing team, setting a high bar for creativity, clarity, and results.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with peers in marketing, sales, product, customer success, and operations to ensure consistent messaging and impactful execution.
  • Leverage AI tools and emerging technologies to streamline workflows, enhance messaging development, and uncover new opportunities.
  • Use analytics to track product performance, measure ROI, and continuously improve marketing initiatives, adjusting strategies based on data-driven insights.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of experience in product marketing, with at least 2 years in a leadership role.
  • Deep expertise with core product marketing frameworks (tiering, launch planning, positioning, segmentation, personas, buyer journey, messaging architecture, etc.).
  • A master storyteller who can distill complexity into clarity—and make people care.
  • Strong experience in pricing and packaging strategy.
  • Experience in driving strategic growth initiatives, including identifying and executing market expansion opportunities, and managing product portfolios.
  • Strong experience partnering with Product and Sales teams to drive alignment and results.
  • Curious and proactive about using AI tools (like ChatGPT, Jasper, Notion AI, etc.) to work smarter and faster.
  • Proven ability to lead and develop a small team while collaborating effectively with other senior leaders.
  • Experience in SaaS / B2B / your industry is a plus.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, balancing multiple priorities and adapting strategies as needed.
  • Perks & Benefits

  • Ownership Mindset – Company stock options for every employee
  • Comprehensive Health Coverage – Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans with choice and flexibility
  • Fertility Support – Fertility and IVF drug coverage included
  • Financial Wellness – 401(k) with a 4% company match
  • Company HSA contributions ($750 individual / $1,500 family)
  • Peace of Mind – 100% employer-paid short- and long-term disability insurance
  • Time to Recharge – Generous PTO, 10 paid holidays, 4 company wellness days, and 1 floating holiday
  • Family and Caregiver Leave – Fully paid leave for new parents and caregivers
  • Remote Work Support – $500 one-time home office setup stipend
  • Invest in You – $100 monthly wellness allowance and free Calm subscription
  • Extra Protection – Pet insurance, accident and critical illness coverage, and legal and ID theft protection
  • Career Growth – Ongoing education through Learning, Workday Learning, and our Career Growth Portal
  • Equal Opportunity

    WP Engine is an equal opportunity workplace and is committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity, Veteran status, or any other basis protected by law.
