Reports To: Head of Marketing

Travel: This role will be expected to travel on occasion for industry conferences and Knit in-person team meetings. Knit US does two in-person All Team events per year.

Overview

The Director of Product Marketing at Knit will lead the strategy, positioning, and execution of product marketing initiatives that drive adoption, revenue growth, and category leadership. This is both a strategic and hands-on role: you will own the full scope of Product Marketing — from messaging frameworks to launch execution to enablement — while building cross-functional processes that scale.

As the first dedicated Product Marketing hire, you’ll serve as the voice of the market, connecting customer insights, product development, and commercial goals to fuel Knit’s next stage of growth. You’ll balance shaping the long-term vision for Product Marketing with executing the day-to-day programs that deliver measurable impact.

Responsibilities |

• Successful execution of go-to-market strategies that drive adoption, usage, and revenue growth.
• Consistent delivery of high-quality positioning, messaging, and collateral that enable Sales and Customer Success.
• Increased product adoption and expansion across enterprise accounts.
• Establishment of scalable workflows and processes that set the foundation for a future Product Marketing team.

• Lead the planning and execution of GTM strategies for new products, features, and capabilities.
• Own the creation of compelling narratives that clearly communicate Knit’s new product release(s) value and differentiation in the market.
• Partner with Sales and CS to develop enablement programs, tools, and materials that increase win rates and drive adoption.
• Lead competitive analysis, customer research, and market trends to shape product and GTM strategies.
• Orchestrate collaboration between Marketing, Product, Sales, and CS to ensure shared priorities and consistent execution.
• Translate Knit’s category vision into product-level proof points, partnering with the Head of Marketing on thought leadership and storytelling.

• Draft messaging frameworks for a new feature launch, ensuring they connect to Knit’s broader category story.
• Facilitate a cross-functional alignment meeting with Product and Sales to prepare for a GTM release.
• Build and deliver sales enablement tools (e.g., battlecards, competitive positioning, launch decks).
• Conduct customer and market research to refine messaging and feed insights back into the product roadmap.
• Present product marketing metrics to the Head of Marketing and executive leadership.
• Balance hands-on execution (crafting materials yourself) with building processes that set the stage for scale.
• Other duties as assigned [to be less than 10% of your role responsibilities] 

Required Skills & Experiences

• 8+ years of product marketing experience in B2B SaaS, preferably in research tech, martech, or adjacent spaces.
• Strong expertise in developing positioning, messaging, and value frameworks that resonate with enterprise buyers.
• Demonstrated ability to create sales enablement materials (battlecards, decks, one-pagers, competitive positioning) that drive adoption and revenue.
• Experience conducting and synthesizing competitive intelligence, customer insights, and market research to shape strategy.
• Exceptional communication skills — able to simplify complex product capabilities into clear, compelling stories.
• Ability to thrive in a player-coach environment: setting strategy while executing deliverables hands-on.
• Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple launches and priorities simultaneously.
• Results-oriented; proven ability to drive adoption, enable cross-functional alignment, and achieve measurable impact.

Nice to haves (not required):

• Previous experience in market research SaaS or enterprise insights technology.
• Background in category creation or market reframing efforts.
• Familiarity with toolstacks like Hubspot, Salesforce, Avoma, or competitive intelligence platforms.
• Experience partnering closely with Product Management on roadmap strategy and customer feedback loops.
• Light data analysis skills to translate usage patterns and feedback into actionable insights.
• Public speaking experience for webinars, conferences, or customer-facing sessions.
• Experience driving product marketing in international markets.
