Product Marketing Manager

Job description

The Product Marketing Manager owns how Forterra's products are positioned, messaged, and brought to market. This role sits at the intersection of marketing, growth, and engineering — translating deeply technical capabilities across our four pillars (Mobility, Communications, Compute, and Sensing) into clear, differentiated messaging that resonates with defense decision-makers, program offices, and industry partners.

Job responsibilities

  • Own product positioning across the four pillars of the Autonomous Mission Systems portfolio, ensuring each offering is clearly differentiated, and the full-stack story holds together
  • Lead product launch planning and execution, coordinating with brand, communications, and growth on timing, content, and channels
  • Develop core product content (one-pagers, capability briefs, messaging frameworks, and demo narratives)
  • Arm growth and business development teams with the positioning, proof points, and competitive context they need to win programs
  • Maintain customer and competitive intelligence on the defense autonomy landscape to inform positioning and product strategy
  • Partner with engineering teams to turn technical milestones and roadmap developments into market-facing proof points
  • Support events, demos, and campaigns with product messaging and subject-matter input

Job requirements

  • 4–6 years of experience in product marketing, ideally within defense technology, robotics, autonomy, or another deeply technical B2B domain
  • Proven ability to distill complex technical systems into clear, compelling messaging for non-engineering audiences
  • Experience planning and executing product launches
  • Exceptional writing skills across formats, from messaging frameworks to sales collateral
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work cross-functionally with product, engineering, and marketing teams
  • Familiarity with defense customer dynamics, including program offices, acquisition pathways, and mission priorities
  • Experience building sales enablement programs from scratch
  • Background marketing hardware/software integrated systems or platform portfolios
