About the role:

The Sr. Product Marketing Manager, Robot Vacuums, will own the go-to-market strategy, positioning, and content execution for TP-Link’s robot vacuum portfolio within the Smart Home division. Reporting directly to the Director of Product Marketing – Smart Home, this role is a high-impact, category-focused position that requires an operator who can think like a brand builder and act like an owner.

The right candidate will bring deep knowledge of the robot vacuum category, a sharp instinct for what motivates consumers, and the creative ability to transform technical specifications into compelling, moments-based stories that drive purchase. TP-Link’s robot vacuums compete in one of the fastest-growing segments of the smart home market – this person will be the driving force behind how we position, message, and market our products, and a key contributor to taking market share from SharkNinja, Ecovac, Eufy, Roborock, Wyze, and Dreame.

A note on experience:

Prior hands-on product marketing experience in the robot vacuum or floor care category is highly desirable and candidates who have marketed robot vacuums – including knowledge of navigation technology, self-empty systems, mop/vac combos, and Matter compatibility – will be prioritized. Equally essential is the demonstrated ability to write world-class consumer copy: translating technical specs such as LiDAR navigation, suction Pa ratings, and auto-empty docks into emotionally resonant, moments-based language that speaks to real consumer life. We also place high value on idea generation – we want someone who brings differentiated campaign concepts, sharp naming instincts, and a creative point of view that helps TP-Link stand out in a crowded category.

Key Responsibilities:

Product Positioning, Naming, and Messaging

· Own the positioning and messaging architecture for TP-Link’s full robot vacuum portfolio – from entry-level models to premium self-empty and mop-combo systems.

· Develop moments-based copy that connects product capabilities to real consumer life situations: clean floors before guests arrive, mornings without chores, homes that clean themselves.

· Translate technical specifications – suction power, navigation precision, obstacle avoidance, dock auto-empty – into clear, differentiated consumer benefits that drive purchase intent.

· Build and maintain naming frameworks and messaging hierarchies consistent across retail, digital, social, and in-box materials.

· Partner with the Director of Product Marketing to align robot vacuum messaging with the broader Smart Home brand narrative and Tapo brand architecture.

Go-to-Market Strategy and Execution

· Lead GTM planning for all robot vacuum product launches – from feature brief to retail execution – in coordination with product management, sales, and creative teams.

· Build coordinated launch frameworks covering product messaging, creative direction, media strategy, retail assets, and Amazon listing optimization.

· Develop creative retail, web and packaging assets that will help differentiate our category in the robot vacuum market.

· Ensure all launch activities are data-driven, consumer-informed, and aligned with sales and channel objectives.

· Coordinate with retail partners including Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Costco, and Target on content, promotional windows, and sell-in materials.

Product Feature Prioritization and Content Creation

· Lead the creation of all robotic vacuum product content: web copy, product detail pages, Amazon A+ content, retail assets, setup videos, explainer videos, and social-ready creative.

· Brief and manage creative partners, agencies, and in-house teams to produce high-quality video and visual assets that bring the product to life.

· Ensure all content reflects the voice of the customer and clearly communicates differentiated value at every touchpoint – Amazon search, Google organic, retail shelf, and social.

· Generate original concepts for campaigns, hero moments, and product storytelling that differentiate TP-Link from SharkNinja, Ecovac, Eufy, Roborock, Wyze, and Dreame in the consumer’s mind.

· Collaborate with Product Management to influence feature prioritization based on consumer insights, market trends, and competitive research – particularly around AI navigation, smart home integration, and Matter compatibility.

Brand Awareness, Consideration, and Conversion

· Develop marketing strategies that elevate TP-Link’s presence in the robot vacuum market and strengthen consumer engagement across the full funnel.

· Execute awareness and conversion campaigns across digital, paid, retail, and social channels.

· Leverage analytics and consumer data to optimize the customer journey and maximize conversion rates.

· Create and manage programs that deepen customer engagement throughout the product lifecycle, including Tapo Care subscription acquisition and retention.

Competitive Intelligence and Consumer Insights

· Maintain a deep, current understanding of the robot vacuum competitive landscape: pricing tiers, product roadmaps, messaging strategies, and market share trends.

· Track consumer sentiment, product reviews, and community feedback to identify messaging gaps, product pain points, and differentiation opportunities.

· Translate competitive intelligence into actionable positioning recommendations that keep TP-Link ahead of the market.

Community Management and Social Engagement

· Partner with Digital and Social teams to strengthen TP-Link’s community presence in the robot vacuum category across social platforms, forums, and review channels.

· Support influencer marketing, creator programs, and ambassador initiatives to generate authentic engagement and word-of-mouth visibility.

· Monitor sentiment and community insights to guide ongoing messaging improvements and campaign refinement.

PR, Digital Marketing, SEO, EDM, and Influencer Collaboration

· Drive collaboration across PR, digital, and influencer channels to promote robot vacuum product launches and sustain visibility.

· Own Amazon product listing strategy for the robot vacuum category: title optimization, bullet points, A+ content, backend keywords, and Brand Store architecture.

· Manage SEO strategy for robot vacuum pages on tplink.com and tapo.com, ensuring product pages are discoverable, conversion-optimized, and current.

· Manage coordination of email (EDM), SEO, and influencer campaigns to support ongoing product promotion and brand growth.
