We focus on delivering insights, relevance, empathy, scale, and trust in everything we do, transforming communication in higher ed because reputation is a mutual responsibility and the right insights fuel measurable outcomes.

As the Director of Product Marketing, you’ll lead the strategy and storytelling that connect our product vision to customer outcomes.

• Build High‑Impact Sales Enablement: Create messaging frameworks, competitive positioning, objection handling, pitch decks, battlecards, and training programs that empower Sales to tell a strong, consistent, value‑driven story. Ensure the team has what they need—when they need it—to convey value confidently, handle competitive pressure, and close deals.
• Fuel Customer Adoption & Expansion: Partner with Customer Success to deepen product understanding, drive adoption, strengthen health, and create compelling cross‑sell and up‑sell motions. Build campaigns, resources, and programs that help customers unlock the full value of the platform and expand usage over time.
• Turn Insights Into Strategy: Be the voice of the market internally—bringing structured insights on customer needs, competitive shifts, buying behavior, and market trends to inform product strategy and GTM prioritization. Analyze data across channels, distill it into actionable recommendations, and ensure we’re building and messaging for what higher ed truly needs.
• Elevate Mongoose’s Category Leadership: Shape our point of view on the future of student engagement and lead initiatives that strengthen our authority in the market. Collaborate on thought leadership, support demand generation efforts, and help define narratives that position Mongoose as the trusted partner for institutions seeking deeper, more meaningful connections.
