Clari VP, Brand, Content and Product Marketing • December 7
Some of the soft skills and qualities that I seek: Strategic yet hands-on, Storytellers yet tech savvy, Measured yet creative, Customer and sales facing, Running the business.
Then in terms of values:
- Collaborative. We ask others for ideas. We listen to their inputs. We share information.
- Accountable. We establish our goals. We stand by our actions. We stay engaged and we own our stuff.
- Impactful. We get it done. We have an impact on the business – because of what we did and how we did it.

The job of a PMM can vary greatly from company to company, industry to industry, and even based on where they report to (Product vs Marketing). What have you found to be successful in defining your career as a PMM?Why do product marketing jobs have high turnover?What are the top skills that have helped you achieve your current position?How do you grow from a PMM to senior PMM at a hypergrowth startup where you don't have time to “ramp up” your skills? Hi ,
Thank you for doing this! I have a PMM background from about 5 years ago ( for about 3 years) , then worked in more general marketing roles ( like demand gen) for a couple of years, went to bschool and now I’m in a pricing role - which is not exactly PMM. I want to make the pivot back into PMM . How can I leverage what I am doing currently and what I have done in the past, to take on a messaging, positioning and enablement PMM role ? Besides PM and more senior roles, what are some realistic pivots out of PMM?
