AI Product Marketing Manager

Company Description

Organizations everywhere struggle under the crushing costs and complexities of “solutions” that promise to simplify their lives. To create a better experience for their customers and employees. To help them grow. Software is a choice that can make or break a business. Create better or worse experiences. Propel or throttle growth. Business software has become a blocker instead of ways to get work done. 

There’s another option. Freshworks. With a fresh vision for how the world works.

At Freshworks, we build uncomplicated service software that delivers exceptional customer and employee experiences. Our enterprise-grade solutions are powerful, yet easy to use, and quick to deliver results. Our people-first approach to AI eliminates friction, making employees more effective and organizations more productive. Over 72,000 companies, including Bridgestone, New Balance, Nucor, S&P Global, and Sony Music, trust Freshworks’ customer experience (CX) and employee experience (EX) software to fuel customer loyalty and service efficiency. And, over 4,500 Freshworks employees make this possible, all around the world.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys translating complex AI technology into simple customer value, loves launching new products, and thrives working cross-functionally in a fast-moving SaaS environment.

• Lead cross-functional launch planning with Product, Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, Enablement, and PR. 
• Create sales enablement content including presentations, battlecards, FAQs, demos, and competitive messaging. 
• Develop customer-facing assets including web, content, blogs, videos, webinars, and launch campaigns. 
• Gather customer insights through interviews, research, and competitive analysis to inform positioning and future product direction. 
• Partner with Demand Generation and Lifecycle Marketing to drive AI feature awareness, adoption, and customer engagement. 
• Measure launch success and iterate messaging based on customer feedback, adoption metrics, and market trends. 
• Stay current on emerging AI technologies and competitive offerings to help shape Freshworks' AI narrative. 

Qualifications

• 5-8 years of Product Marketing experience in B2B SaaS 
• Experience launching AI, machine learning, GenAI, Copilot, agentic AI, or other intelligent software capabilities 
• Strong messaging and positioning skills with the ability to simplify technical concepts for business and technical audiences
• A strong bias towards creatively incorporating AI into product marketing workflows 
• Experience leading cross-functional product launches from planning through execution
• Strong partnership with Product Management and Engineering teams 
• Experience creating customer-facing content and sales enablement materials 
• Customer-first mindset with strong market research and storytelling skills 
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
