Who You Are
The mission of Justworks’ Product Marketing team is to deliver the right product to the right audience using the right message. We love using products as a vehicle to represent the voice of the customer and foster strategic innovation by translating our deep understanding of customer and market needs into product opportunities.
We’re looking for a seasoned Product Marketing leader with experience in go-to-market strategy and a history of driving cross-sell, upsell, and customer marketing efforts to support our benefits offering across the Justworks portfolio.
