Product Marketing Lead at Doist

Australia

<p>At Doist, our mission is to <strong>empower people with simple yet powerful tools</strong>.</p><p>We're a multidisciplinary, fully-remote, team that’s passionate about creating products, like <a href="https://www.todoist.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener">Todoist</a> and <a href="https://twist.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener">Twist</a>, that improve people’s lives. We thrive on innovating new solutions to old productivity challenges and we seek to rethink how productivity tools are made. </p><h3>Our Core Values</h3><p>They are few, but they are mighty. From creating processes to decision-making and recruiting, we build our four core values into nearly every single thing we do.</p><ul><li> <strong>Ambition.</strong> You aspire to put a dent in the universe. You set high standards for yourself and those around you. You solve issues that have a high impact on our customers and our company.</li><li> <strong>Mastery. </strong>You care deeply about the quality of your work. You’re continuously learning and pushing yourself to the limits of your ability. As a champion of your craft, you are also a champion of your well-being – you work intensely, then disconnect completely.</li><li> <strong>Independence. </strong>Others can trust that you’ll deliver on time. You keep your word and trust your teammates to do the same. You are proactive, take ownership, and remain accountable with little or no direction.</li><li> <strong>Communication.</strong> Your communication is clear, concise, and engaging. You keep others in the loop and never go radio silent. You speak respectfully and foster warm relationships through your interactions. You’re culturally and socially aware and can appropriately navigate social situations.</li></ul><p>We invite you to <a href="https://blog.doist.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener">visit our blog</a> to learn more about us, our values, and how we work.</p><h3>Your Team &amp; Role</h3><p>As Product Marketing Lead, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping how Doist brings its product strategy to life in the market. </p><p>This is both a strategic and hands-on leadership role: You’ll lead through deep expertise, solving our hardest product marketing challenges while elevating the work of those around you.

Operationally, you’ll bring rigor to planning and execution: running launches like a tight ship, setting clear expectations and ownership, creating reusable frameworks. </p><p>You’ll raise the bar for Product Marketing not just at Doist, but the field at large, inspiring other companies to point to us and say, “That’s how product marketing should be done.”</p><p>This role is critical to help Doist scale its product storytelling, improve cross-functional alignment, and deliver world-class product marketing as the company enters its next phase of growth.</p><p><strong>Requirements</strong></p><p>We’re looking for an experienced Product Marketing leader who combines strategic depth with exceptional execution.
