The role, in a nutshell:
This role is for a Staff Product Marketing Manager who will lead ongoing launches and growth initiatives for Chainguard Containers. Chainguard is innovative at its core - the products we build are new and different - and articulating our value in a compelling and credible way is essential to our growth. This role requires strong communication and collaboration skills and experience deeply understanding cloud-native software infrastructure products.
What you’ll do:
- Manage ongoing launches of new capabilities, features, and integrations for Chainguard Containers and related tooling, ensuring successful cross-functional rollout across GTM teams and revenue growth.
- Drive growth initiatives with content and cross-functional plans that leverage Chainguard’s innovative launches and new use cases for solving supply chain security challenges.

- Create enablement content and serve as a subject matter expert for sales and sales engineering teams, ensuring the field has the necessary tools and knowledge to succeed.
- Contribute to pricing and competitive analysis for Chainguard Containers.
- Collaborate with demand generation and corporate marketing teams by helping to develop campaigns, creating necessary content, and presenting at events.

What we're looking for:
- 7-10 years of PMM experience in B2B technology, ideally with familiarity in open source software, enterprise security and/or engineering organizations, and technical products.
- Ability to manage product launches and go-to-market strategies effectively.
- Proven success in cross-functional, highly collaborative roles.
- Ability to perform well in a dynamic, rapidly growing environment, balancing both strategic planning and hands-on execution.
- Excellent communication skills, capable of conveying complex information in a clear and compelling manner.
We live and breathe our company values:
- We are customer obsessed — We focus on delivering solutions to our customers that create value and make their lives better.
- We have a bias for intentional action — We prioritize, plan, try things, and fail fast.
- We don't take ourselves too seriously (but we do serious work) — We are solving an important problem which takes focus, but we also like to enjoy the journey.
- We trust each other and assume good intentions — We're transparent with decisions to empower team members to make well informed decisions.
A few of the benefits we offer:
- Flexible & Remote-First Culture: Work remotely with team meetup opportunities, bi-annual destination summits, and a monthly stipend for coworking spaces, phone and internet costs.
- Our Approach to Equity: Receive stock options upon hire and promotion. Plus, you can participate in secondary offerings and have 10 years to exercise your options (yes, you read that correctly: 10 years!).
- 100% Covered Health Insurance: We cover 100% of your health, vision and dental insurance premiums for you and your dependents. Nothing comes out of your paycheck.
- ∞ Flexible Time Off: Take the time you need – to do our best work, we need to recharge and reset.
- 18 Weeks Paid Parental Leave: We offer 18 weeks for birthing parents and 12 weeks for non-birthing parents, with the option to use it all at once or throughout your child's first year.
If your experience is close but doesn't fulfill all requirements, please apply. We're building the best team in technology and are focused on hiring "Chainguardians" with unique backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences.
