Product Marketing Manager

Marketing • Full-time • San Francisco; New York
Apply

Our mission is to automate coding. The first step in our journey is to build the best tool for professional programmers, using a combination of inventive research, design, and engineering. Our organization is very flat, and our team is small and talent dense. We particularly like people who are truth-seeking, passionate, and creative. We enjoy spirited debate, crazy ideas, and shipping code.

About the role

We're looking for a Product Marketing Manager who can translate deeply technical products into clear, compelling stories that resonate with developers.

This is a highly cross-functional, high-impact role. You'll work closely with product, engineering, and GTM to help define what we build and how we bring it to market. You won't just launch features-you'll influence product direction, define positioning, and help developers understand why Cursor matters.

What You'll Do

Product Launches

• Own end-to-end go-to-market strategy for new features and major releases
• Write launch materials (blog posts, landing pages, demos, videos)
• Partner with product and engineering to ensure strong product-market fit before launch

Positioning & Messaging

• Develop clear, differentiated positioning for Cursor and its features
• Turn complex AI + developer workflows into simple, compelling narratives
• Continuously refine messaging based on user feedback and market shifts

Developer-Focused Content

• Partner closely with the Developer Relations team to create high-signal content for technical audiences (guides, use cases, comparisons)
• Showcase real workflows and power-user behaviors-not generic marketing fluff
• Collaborate with the community to highlight authentic use cases

Go-To-Market Enablement

• Translate product capabilities into clear, compelling messaging that sales and GTM teams can use effectively
• Provide the right narratives, positioning, and materials to communicate value and win users
• Partner closely with sales, field, and developer relations to understand customer needs objections
• Continuously refine messaging based on real-world feedback and performance

Growth & Distribution

• Identify and test new channels to reach developers (Twitter/X, GitHub, YouTube, etc.)
• Work with growth to improve activation, onboarding, and retention messaging
• Run experiments to improve conversion across the funnel

Customer & Market Insight

• Talk to users regularly to understand needs, objections, and mental models
• Analyze competitors and evolving AI/dev tooling landscape
• Bring insights back into product and marketing decisions

You may be a fit if

• You have 3+ years in product marketing, product management, growth, consulting, banking or a similar role (ideally in developer tools or SaaS)
• You have a strong technical intuition, you don't need to be an engineer, but you should be comfortable understanding developer tools and communicating to a technical audience
• You have strong product Instincts - ability to engage in product discussions and push back thoughtfully
• You have exceptional communication skills, and the aility to simplify complex concepts without dumbing them down
• You have high ownership: you can take a project from idea → execution → iteration
• You find comfort in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment
