Summary:
- We're looking for a seasoned CW Product Marketing Manager to drive successful market entry and accelerate growth across global markets for our wearables portfolio.
- You will own the end-to-end go-to-market strategy for new market launches and in-market growth - from identifying the right markets to enter, to developing launch playbooks, to scaling what works.
- As the central strategic lead for global expansion, you'll translate product and marketing strategy into market-specific plans that account for regional consumer behavior, channel structures, regulatory pathways, and partner ecosystems - partnering across product, regional marketing, sales, channel, ops, legal, and policy to turn ambitious goals into measurable results.
- The ideal candidate has launched consumer hardware in multiple international markets and understands the operational reality behind those launches: certification timelines, localization, supply and retail readiness, and country-level legal and policy nuance.
- They are equally comfortable setting marketing strategy and building the governance, workflows, and tracking systems that make multi-market execution scalable.
- They are an organized self-starter who proactively identifies and solves problems, and they thrive in a fast-paced, cross-functional, action-oriented environment.
- A successful candidate will bring a combination of strategic vision, data-driven decision-making, exceptional cross-functional leadership, and hands-on product launch experience.

- Regional Strategy: Partner with regional Marketing, Sales, and Partnerships teams to adapt global positioning, messaging, and campaign strategy to local market needs - and represent regional requirements back into global product and marketing planning
- Cross-Functional Leadership: Drive momentum across 12+ global teams - including regional marketing, comms, product, sales ops, legal, policy, channel partners, and more - to ensure all elements of GTM are aligned and ready ahead of launch. Track dependent readiness plans, anticipate bottlenecks, and mediate between stakeholder groups to resolve blockers
- Insights & Research: Partner with user research, market insights, and data science teams to gather market, category, channel, and audience insights that inform launch tactics and in-market growth strategies
- In-Market Growth & Performance: Post-launch, drive business goals across awareness, acquisition, engagement, and retention. Define success metrics and prioritization across initiatives; use data to identify bottlenecks, test new approaches, and scale what works
- Operating Model & Scale: Build governance models, workflows, templates, and tracking systems to scale multi-market execution. Set best practices and knowledge sharing across Reality Labs
- Executive Communication: Provide visibility and strategic insights to stakeholders at all levels, managing GTM information cadences, escalations, and mitigations to inform leadership decisions on international investment and portfolio strategy
Minimum Qualifications
- Demonstrated experience driving international launches or market expansions, with working knowledge of market readiness, regulatory pathways, and country-level operational, legal, and policy considerations
- Experience leading cross-functional initiatives to deliver product launch results in fast-paced, rapidly changing environments - partnering with internal and external stakeholders across product, sales, marketing, comms, partnerships, legal, and policy
