Product Marketing Director

At Mongoose, we believe every conversation matters.

We’re on a mission to change lives by making conversation intelligence accessible to all in higher education. Our purpose? To move people forward. Whether it’s helping a student navigate their first semester, connecting alumni with meaningful opportunities, or ensuring parents feel informed and supported—our AI-enabled platform drives compliant, empathetic, and impactful conversations that build trust and foster success campus-wide.

We know that conversations aren’t just a feature—they’re the foundation of connection. That’s why we focus on delivering insights, relevance, empathy, scale, and trust in everything we do. At Mongoose, we’re transforming communication in higher ed because we believe reputation is a mutual responsibility, and the right insights fuel measurable outcomes.

Join us and be part of a team that’s making a real difference in education—one conversation at a time.

As a Product Marketing Director, you’ll be the force that makes our products unmistakably clear and compelling in the market—shaping our positioning, messaging, and go-to-market so customers instantly see the value and choose Mongoose. You’ll translate customer and competitive insights into sharp narratives, lead launches that drive adoption and expansion, and equip Sales and Customer Success with the enablement to win more, faster. Success in this role will be measured by improvements in win rates and sales velocity, adoption and activation of key releases, and influenced pipeline / ARR growth tied to our Conversation Intelligence Platform. If you love shaping category narrative, turning insight into impact, and orchestrating cross-functional GTM that moves the needle, this role is for you.

What You'll Do

• Make Our Story Crystal Clear : Turn product value into simple, compelling positioning and messaging that anyone can understand, and tailor narratives to real buyer pains and outcomes across higher‑ed stakeholders
• Lead Launches That Land : Build and run go‑to‑market plans with clear goals, owners, and dates so there are no surprises at launch, then drive post‑launch adoption plays and adjust quickly based on what the data tells us
• Bring Market Insight to the Table : Keep a steady drumbeat of customer conversations, win / loss analysis, and competitive intel, and turn those insights into smart bets for roadmap, messaging, and enablement
• Help Sales Win More, Faster : Create practical tools that actually get used—battlecards, talk tracks, ROI stories, and short demos—and partner with Sales on key deals to sharpen positioning, handle objections, and speed cycles
• Fuel Product‑Led Growth : Partner on in‑product messaging and activation moments that nudge users to adopt and expand, while defining the signals that matter (activation, usage milestones) and triggering the right plays
• Ship Content That Matters : Lead the creation of product pages, solution briefs, release notes, and customer proof that demonstrate real outcomes, while keeping our voice consistent across web, campaigns, and the field
• Measure and Learn : Stand up a simple PMM dashboard that tracks win rate lift, message pull‑through, adoption of key releases, and influenced pipeline / ARR, then share what’s working, what’s not, and what we’re trying next
• Keep Everyone Rowing the Same Direction : Run tight GTM standups and readiness checklists to clear blockers early, and bring the voice of the customer into Product and leadership conversations at the right moments
