HRSD Product Manager, 37267398 (Kirkland)

Summary

We are seeking an experienced contractor to own messaging, positioning, and field-facing narrative for the HR Service Delivery (HRSD) product portfolio. This role translates complex AI product capabilities into clear, compelling stories—and turns those stories into the executive presentations, EBC content, sales decks, and enablement materials that move customers and the field.

This role is well-suited for a product marketer—or a product manager with a strong flair for marketing, narrative, and content creation. What matters is the ability to write messaging that resonates, frame AI capabilities for business buyers, and build decks that are themselves a product. A strong design sense and fluency in PowerPoint, Figma, or Keynote is expected.

Partner with sales enablement and partner teams to ensure messaging lands in the field
Develop bootcamp content and supplemental product documentation

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Partner with product management and the PMM team on product strategy and portfolio alignment
