Product Marketing Manager Platform & Technology

Impact In This Role

In this role, you’ll own the positioning, messaging, and go-to-market strategy for our unified platform that brings standard, configurable, and custom mechanical components together under one sourcing experience.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Owning platform positioning and messaging — articulating why a unified platform across standard, configurable, and custom components matters, and how AI-driven quoting, automated DFM, and global manufacturing capacity come together as a single value proposition
• Partnering closely with Product Management and Engineering to shape product messaging, positioning, and competitive strategy, and to feed customer and market insight back into roadmap decisions
• Championing an AI-driven mindset — helping identify and articulate where AI can enhance the applications and solutions we deliver to customers, and translating those capabilities into clear market-facing value
• Developing clear, effective messaging by persona and industry vertical — including machine builders, mechanical engineers, and supply chain/procurement leaders — for use in marketing and sales campaigns
• Maintaining up-to-date messaging and product marketing assets across the platform and technology stack
• Interacting with customers and sales reps to document win/loss analysis and deepen our understanding of our target audience
• Evaluating MISUMI Americas positioning against the competition — including both distribution-model players and digital manufacturing competitors — to sharpen differentiation in the market
• Directing launch campaigns for new platform capabilities and technology releases
• Partnering with Product Marketing and Marketing teams to build world-class content, sales tools, and other digital assets — emails, ads, web landing pages, brochures, and technical positioning — that build pipeline and drive bookings
• Enabling our sales teams with product trainings and sales enablement materials
• Identifying case studies and testimonials that provide clear, quantifiable examples of the platform’s value

Desired Traits

• 7-10 years of experience in manufacturing/supply chain technology, sales, and/or product marketing roles, ideally including technical or platform products
• B.S. in engineering or B.A. in business, marketing, or other relevant field
• An AI-driven mindset — you’re comfortable thinking about how AI can enhance the applications and solutions we deliver to customers, and you can translate that thinking into product positioning and go-to-market strategy
• Proven experience marketing SaaS products or software applications — you understand platform-based business models, release cycles, and how to position software value to both technical and business buyers
• Direct experience with manufacturing and/or supply chain technology systems (e.g., ERP, MES, PLM, procurement/sourcing platforms, or similar systems) — you understand how these systems fit into a customer’s broader technology stack and workflow
• Hands-on manufacturing experience or a strong working knowledge of manufacturing processes (e.g., CNC machining, injection molding, sheet metal, 3D printing) and how they map to engineering and sourcing decisions
• You are a strategic thinker, able to translate complex technical capability into clear, focused messaging and actions
• You are an excellent writer, comfortable developing blogs, brochures, and landing page copy
• You are highly organized and a strong project manager, able to keep multiple stakeholders — Product, Engineering, Sales, and Marketing — on track toward a launch deadline
• Comfortable working in a matrix-driven model across a company integrating two organizations and scaling a platform in real time
• Experience marketing to a span of personas, from technical and operational audiences (e.g., mechanical engineers, machine builders) to senior-level executives (e.g., manufacturing, supply chain, procurement, operations)
