As a Product Marketing Manager, you will define and lead product marketing strategy across a portfolio of high-growth solutions with a strong emphasis on AI-enabled capabilities and payments, and other strategic product areas shaping the future of hospitality technology. Your work will drive adoption, competitive differentiation, and measurable business outcomes. You are the strategic connective tissue between product, marketing, sales, and customer success—guiding GTM execution, shaping product narratives, and ensuring that business priorities are translated into market impact.

This role will play a key part in bringing emerging and high-priority solutions to market, including AI-driven guest and operational experiences, payments, digital commerce, and other product areas that support our broader commercial strategy. The ideal candidate is energized by evolving technology categories, curious about how AI and payments are changing hospitality, and skilled at turning complex capabilities into clear customer value, compelling market narratives, and practical sales enablement.

Collaboration is at the core of this role. You will work closely with product, growth, brand, sales, and customer success teams, aligning multiple stakeholders around strategic priorities, synthesizing diverse perspectives, and guiding decision-making at the leadership level. You thrive in complex, matrixed environments and have a proven ability to drive alignment and clarity among teams with competing priorities.

You will maintain deep expertise in your buyers, the competitive landscape, and market trends, leveraging these insights to inform strategy, refine messaging, and optimize GTM programs. Your impact will be measured not just by outputs, but by your ability to influence cross-functional alignment, deliver measurable business results, and drive market success .
