[Hiring] Senior Product Marketing Manager @Recidiviz

Role Description

Recidiviz is thrilled to be hiring a Senior Product Marketing Manager to join our External Affairs team! We're a small, fast-moving group that is changing the narrative about what is possible in the criminal justice system. We’re looking for a strategic storyteller who can define how corrections agencies understand what Recidiviz builds, and who wants to change what government expects from its software along the way.

As Senior Product Marketing Manager, you'll own the product narrative and messaging for Recidiviz's corrections products and services, including our offender management system (OMS) modules and policy analytics offerings. You will build a deep understanding of the people who decide when and how to modernize agency technology: corrections directors, deputy directors, CIOs, and procurement leaders.

Core responsibilities include:

• Own the product narrative: Build the positioning and messaging frameworks for our corrections products and services.
• Reshape how the market buys: Develop and lead a strategy to move corrections technology procurement toward flexibility, interoperability, modularity, and open standards.
• Make outcomes the measure: Set the expectation that corrections software should drive results, not only track activity.
• Set the standard for responsible AI: Build demand for AI that is both innovative and safe.
• Launch what we build: Partner with Product and our go-to-market teams to plan and run launches for new products and features.
• Lead market intelligence: Track the corrections technology landscape and ensure our teams can articulate Recidiviz's differentiation clearly and accurately.
• Prepare the story for the stage: Own the product narrative talk at our annual Partner Summit.

Qualifications

• Strategic, market-level thinking: You've shaped how a market or category thinks.
• Exceptional writing and storytelling: You distill complex products into clear, precise messages.
• Enablement that teams actually use: You've partnered closely with account management and sales teams.
• Influence through others: You know how to build momentum through coalitions and trusted voices.
• Ownership and judgment: You're a self-starter who sets direction and drives work to completion.
• 7+ years of marketing experience, including positioning complex B2B or B2G products for senior buyers.

Requirements

• Experience marketing to government, especially state agencies.
• Familiarity with public sector procurement, RFPs, or the modernization of legacy enterprise systems.
• Experience mentoring or developing other marketers.
• Experience working in a fast-moving startup environment.
• Personal or professional experience working with the criminal justice system.

Benefits

• Effective, extremely thoughtful colleagues, working together on a mission that matters.
• 90% medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage for you and your dependents.
• Flexible time off, including 20 days of PTO, 3 days of paid volunteering time, and 13 paid holidays per year.
• 401(k) retirement plan with 5% company match and no vesting period.
• 12 weeks of paid parental leave.
• Complimentary One Medical membership (availability based on location).
• Partnership with Carrot to provide employees with inclusive fertility and family-forming benefits.
• Monthly ClassPass credit for personal wellness.
• Free mental health support via Talkspace.
• Well-located offices in Oakland and Manhattan, with the flexibility to work remotely or go into either office as you choose.
• An annual company offsite and other ad-hoc gatherings.
• All the exhilarating challenges and stretch opportunities of a tech startup, combined with the mission-driven heart of a nonprofit.
