THE OPPORTUNITY:
The Senior Product Marketing Manager at Caraway will play a pivotal role in shaping how our products show up in the world—from refining product positioning to leading the launch and go-to-market strategy. Reporting to the Director of Integrated Marketing, this person will help craft the story behind each new product, lead cross-functional GTM efforts that drive awareness, adoption, and conversion across our product pipeline, and execute those launches across DTC and retail channels—ensuring consistency and impact at every customer touchpoint. 

This role is both strategic and executional—responsible for defining the value proposition and messaging that connects with our target customer while managing the end-to-end GTM process for new products and colorways. You will collaborate closely across Product, Creative, Growth, and Retail to ensure every launch is insight-led, cross-functionally aligned, and delivered on time.

The ideal candidate is an experienced product marketer who thrives on building clear, differentiated positioning—and seeing that positioning carried through a thoughtful, high-performing launch plan.

WHO YOU ARE:
You are a seasoned product and go-to-market marketer with experience launching physical products within high-growth, fast-paced DTC or consumer goods brands.
