Product Marketing Manager, Market Intelligence
Profound, New York, NY, United States
Profound is the category-defining platform for marketing in the AI era. We help the world's leading brands understand and influence how AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini discover, understand, and recommend their products and services by giving their marketing teams purpose-built AI Agents to do better work, faster.
We are building a category that did not exist two years ago, in a market that is evolving every week. New competitors launch monthly. Analysts are still defining the space. Buyers are still figuring out how to evaluate us. In an environment like this, the team with the sharpest read on the market wins.
As our first Product Marketing Manager focused on Market Intelligence, you will own how Profound understands the market we are in and the one we are building toward. You will run competitive intelligence, analyst relations, and win-loss programs as a single connected system, ensuring the insights from each actually change how we sell, build, and go to market. You'll report into Product Marketing and work closely with Sales, Customer Success, Product, Executive Leadership, and GTM Ops.
