About the Role

Director of Product Marketing – Partner, Industry, and Services

We’re hiring a product marketing leader to join our high-performing team and help us rapidly scale the business. Reporting to the Vice President, Product Marketing, this is an ideal role for someone who thrives in growth-oriented ambiguous environments and can stand up new programs independently. We’re looking for a strategic generalist – part operator, part builder – who can jump in, take ownership, and drive foundational programs across several high-impact areas including partner, industry, and services marketing. This role is about determining what matters most, asking smart questions, surfacing tradeoffs, and focusing the team on the highest-impact work. You’ll be a trusted advisor on the product marketing leadership team and a key partner to leaders in sales, product, partnerships, and customer success. Over time, you’ll have the opportunity to scale the functions you lead and build out dedicated teams.

You’ll join an agile, results-focused marketing organization that connects with customers and embraces AI, accelerating Responsive’s relevance and value as a pivotal technology in customers’ GTM tech stack.
