Senior Product Marketing Manager

Our client is a Toronto-based startup reimagining how homeowners maintain and manage their most valuable asset: their home. Built on a community-driven model, their app connects homeowners with trusted local service providers, recommended by real neighbours, not algorithms. It is more than a marketplace, it is a digital ecosystem that fosters trust, transparency, and collaboration between homeowners and local service providers.

The Opportunity

THE DAY HAS COME!

Our client is ready to stand up a marketing function!

The "working title" of this role is Director of Marketing, but the mission behind the title is to build a narrative with value messaging. In this era of "founder mode," you will be the Founding Marketer and influence EVERYTHING without building an empire of direct reports.

That ^^ will excite the right person.

Your role will be the clear editorial authority across all marketing efforts. This isn't a narrow, metric-driven-only role—we need someone who thinks holistically about the entire marketing stack. Since our client is a PLG business, Product Marketing will be central to everything.

The Skills/Requirement Needed to Succeed

• Expert level in product marketing: this must be your core strength
• Track record as the primary marketing person or team of one at a fast-moving, zero-to-one startup
• War stories of moving the needle in previous roles
• Currently looking to step up from being the only product marketer to owning the full marketing function

Capabilities

• Editorial authority with strong judgment on what's ready to ship
• Excellent copywriting and communication skills
• Can drive strategy across the full marketing stack while executing where needed

Mindset

• Holistic thinker who understands interconnections, not just isolated metrics
• Comfortable with ambiguity and flexible budgets ("make it make sense")
• High ownership mentality: you thrive without arbitrary constraints
• Values trust, clarity, and insight over "BS" and "sizzle" and hype
