Chalk
Product Marketing Manager – LA – Chalk
Chalk is building the data platform that powers the future of machine learning applications. We tear down complexity, latency, and scale barriers that have traditionally constrained ML capabilities. Our platform combines Rust‑speed performance with elegant tools that developers love to use. Leading companies depend on Chalk for everything from stopping fraudulent credit card swipes, verifying identities, and maximizing clean energy capture. We’ve recently raised a $50 million Series A, led by Felicis.
About the role We’re hiring a hands‑on Product Marketing Manager to own execution across Chalk’s core product marketing surface area. This is a true individual contributor role with high ownership and real influence. You’ll work closely with Engineering, FDEs, Sales, RevOps, and Marketing to translate Chalk’s technical capabilities into clear messaging, strong narratives, and high‑impact go‑to‑market assets. You’ll be expected to take a data‑driven approach to product marketing, grounding messaging and prioritization in real signals from customers, sales conversations, usage data, and pipeline performance to decide what to build, what to test, and what to double down on. You’ll clearly communicate what’s working and why. You’ll report to the Director of Product Marketing and be deeply embedded in how Chalk goes to market across our website, launches, and sales motion. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys moving fast, taking ownership, and turning ambiguity into shipped work. We’re in the office five days a week. When unavoidable conflicts come up, we’re flexible. This is not a hybrid role.
What you’ll do
Translate complex technical product capabilities into clear, consistent messaging informed by customer feedback, usage data, and sales signals
Own execution of Chalk’s product and solutions messaging across the website, sales materials, and launch assets, measuring impact and iterating based on results
Write high‑quality product marketing content including website copy, launch messaging, customer narratives, and sales enablement materials backed by data and proof points
Support product launches with messaging, demo narratives, field guides, and enablement assets informed by customer insights and performance metrics
Build and maintain sales enablement materials such as pitch decks, discovery frameworks, and objection‑handling content in close partnership with Sales, FDEs, and developer advocates
Develop customer‑facing narratives, use cases, and proof points grounded in quantitative outcomes and real‑world results
Partner with Sales and RevOps to understand funnel performance, pipeline impact, and where messaging is accelerating or blocking momentum
Help evolve Chalk’s value framework and ensure it’s applied consistently across industries, use cases, and go‑to‑market motions
What we’re looking for
3+ years of experience in product marketing or a closely related role, ideally at a high‑growth startup
Strong written communication skills and the ability to explain complex technical systems clearly and accurately
Experience owning PMM deliverables end‑to‑end, from messaging through execution
Strong quantitative instincts and comfort using data to prioritize work and evaluate impact
Experience working closely with engineers and highly technical stakeholders
An operator mindset with a bias toward action, iteration, and learning in ambiguous environments
Strong collaboration skills and comfort working cross‑functionally
Experience supporting both sales‑led and product‑led motions
Familiarity with ML, data infrastructure, or developer‑focused products
Compensation Range: Salary + Equity based on experience
Actual compensation awarded to successful candidates will be based on several factors, including individual qualifications objectively assessed during the interview process.
Our comprehensive total package plays a major role in how we recognize individuals for the impact they will have on Chalk’s growth and us achieving our goals.
Chalk offers early team member equity and competitive benefits package in addition to the cash compensation.
