About this role

We’re looking for a dynamic, ambitious and curious Product Marketing Manager to support the Director of Product Marketing in establishing the Product Marketing function at Genius Sports. We’re looking for a candidate who brings expertise, energy, and passion for communicating beyond the "how" of a product or service, but also the "why". A storyteller with B2B experience, will thrive in this role.

Genius is swiftly moving from a technology and services company to a product-led organization with aspirations to scale our product portfolio and run like a well-oiled machine.

As a Product Marketing Manager, you’ll be focused on championing Genius Sports and amplifying our product story to reach leagues, teams, gaming companies and brands on a global scale. This is a high-profile role with executive support and the opportunity to have significant impact on our organization. We're actively working to integrate some recent acquisitions (more cool products and technology!) so this is the perfect time to join the team and make a real difference in the future of Genius Sports.
