Overview

GitBook is a modern documentation platform sustained by some of the best SaaS europeans VCs (Point 9 Capital, Notion Capital, Fly VC). Our ambition is to empower team’s intelligence. We want to help teams work more efficiently by creating a single place to leverage their knowledge.

GitBook is now used by over 500,000 users and thousands of teams such as Adobe, Netflix, Decathlon, or Google. We’re working on an ambitious next product step to redefine “core team work”. Moving toward this next step is a great opportunity for us to rethink our branding and positioning, that’s why we’re looking for our first Marketing person (based in Lyon or working remotely) to join our team and help us reflect how great our product is.

As a Product Marketing Manager, and being our first Marketing person, you will play a major part in determining our product marketing and communication strategy.

🙌 What will you be doing ?

Your role as a Product Marketing Manager will be to determine the value proposition and positioning GitBook should have and reflect it outside of the company.

On a daily basis you will :

– build our communication strategy for outsiders (prospects, investors etc.) and insiders (our current users) to raise GitBook’s awareness

– build and communicate a clear opinion on how our users should best be using GitBook

– partner with the entire Go-to-Market team to better understand customers’ use case and market dynamic to influence GitBook’s growth

– work with the Customer team to provide accurate self-service resources for our customers and create value-added content (webinars, articles, sales pitches, website…) to highlight our product (new features, value proposition), and enhance our users (case-studies, webinars, events…)

– partner with the Product team to be aware of any changes in the product and be able to communicate its added value to our customers and potential prospects.

As you may have understood everything (or almost everything) is to be done so you will have a great opportunity to develop new ways to increase GitBook’s awareness and influence our customers’ engagement.
