What is your day to day like? Could you describe a day in your life?
1 Answer
I have a lot of meetings (sometimes triple booked) where a lot of context switching occurs every 30 min or so. I don’t say this to scare you off but to caution you that PMMs are one of the most interdisciplinary roles you can have and are the intersection between Product, Marketing, Sales and Customer Success/Experience. If you are fine with multi-tasking, managing multiple workstreams, and collaborating ALL THE TIME, you will enjoy it like I do!

As a senior PMM with 8 - 10 years of experience under my belt, how do I position myself for a Director/Head of Product Marketing role without direct report experience? Besides people management skills, what other skills can a candidate highlight to stand out from the candidate pool? How realistic is it to get into PMM role from a Brand / Product Manager role? (previous experience in a Consumer Goods company)When applying to pmm jobs, how important is it to align your past experiences with the new role? (For instance, if you worked in ecommerce, only apply to ecommerce roles.)A bit of intuition based on experience - vs “hard”, trainable skill - is part of ANY job really. But do you think product marketers need to rely on it a bit (or much) more than other roles in a software company?Should a product marketing manager be a SaaS startup's first hire, and why?I often hear that a big part of being a good PMM is having an "executive presence" and being a top-notch communication. As an introvert, I find this very intimidating—I love product marketing but feel like the odds are stacked against me. Any advice? Is it possible to be introverted and a good PMM?
