Chicago, United States The Lactation Network Full time
Description

Are you passionate about defining product strategy and positioning? Are you motivated to revolutionize the standard of care in women's health?

The Lactation Network (TLN) is in search of an experienced Product Marketing Manager to bridge the gap between product development and marketing, ensuring that the product meets the needs of the target market and that the marketing efforts effectively communicate its value proposition. You will play a crucial role in shaping the positioning, messaging, and go-to-market strategy for our digital healthcare solutions. You'll be integral in understanding and representing the voice of the customer, collaborating closely with internal teams and external stakeholders. Your responsibilities will include defining product strategy, refining messaging, and providing the necessary tools to ensure our products, including our Electronic Medical Record solution, maintain their competitive edge while achieving our business objectives. This position will report directly to the Director of Product.

We are a close-knit, purpose-driven organization with ambitious growth targets for 2024 and beyond. We understand that not all the answers are readily available, and we don't expect you to have them all either. However, we do value curiosity, hard work, and a commitment to personal growth as key qualities in our team members.

Breakdown of the role
  • Product Strategy & Go-to-Market Execution (40%). Collaborate with Product Managers to define and document end-to-end product strategy. For all commercial releases, you will own the development and communication of the go to market plan. This involves developing and implementing strategies to launch new products or features successfully. In partnership with marketing, you will plan marketing campaigns, pricing strategies, distribution channels, and sales enablement initiatives. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams such as product development, sales, account management, and marketing to ensure alignment and execution of the go-to-market plan. You will contribute to goals and metrics for product releases.
  • Product Positioning and Messaging (40%). You will own product positioning and messaging. You will work closely with Product Managers to craft initial copy for patient and LC interfaces.

  • Product and Marketing Requirements: Contribute to product requirements and prioritize customer needs for the product roadmap, ensuring they align with the product's key value proposition. Draft copy documents and marketing briefs.
  • Messaging and Positioning: Define product positioning and differentiated value propositions for use in marketing materials, end-user training, and customer communications. You will work with the marketing team to translate product features into value-based messaging for our patients and Lactation Care Providers.
  • Product Readiness: Own the go-to-market plan, including market research, pricing, promotions, customer validation, case study development and testimonials.

  • Key Opinion Leader Development: Cultivate and nurture relationships with key opinion leaders. Enhance product credibility and influence within the market.
