### Who you are
- 2 to 5 years of experience in product marketing, or in a closely adjacent go-to-market role such as content marketing, sales engineering, technical writing, developer relations, or product management, with at least some of it in B2B SaaS
- Strong writing. You can take a dense technical explanation and turn it into something short, accurate, and helpful, and you can tell the difference between the two yourself
- Curiosity about technical products and the patience to learn how they work. You ask engineers questions until you actually understand the answer, and you are comfortable in a product that assumes a technical user
- Passion about the team winning: Sales, marketing, and product teams will depend on you to succeed. Their success is your success, but you’re not simply an order taker: you look for the smart solutions and don’t wait to be asked
- The ability to run a project across teams without formal authority: setting a timeline, chasing the open items, and telling people clearly when something has slipped
- Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward shipping. Our priorities move, the team is small, and the best work here comes from people who start rather than wait for a brief
- Willingness to use data to decide and to evaluate your own work honestly
- Demonstrated experience applying AI tooling in your work
- Exposure to observability, developer tools, distributed tracing, OpenTelemetry, platform engineering, or reliability and SLO practices. We will teach this, but a head start helps
- Experience marketing to engineers as the primary audience
- Hands-on familiarity with AI and LLM tooling, including coding agents and MCP-based workflows
- Experience with webinars, conference talks, or community programs
- Experience working in a fully distributed company ### What the job involves
- Product marketing at Honeycomb is a small team with a wide surface area.
We decide how Honeycomb is positioned, what we say at launch, what the sales team brings into a deal, and how an engineer who has never heard of us understands the product in the first two minutes. Because the team is small, the work is broad: in one week you might rewrite a product page, build a competitive one-pager, interview a customer, and run the launch checklist for a new feature
- This role is built for someone early in a product marketing career who wants to systematically improve the customer buying journey. As a product and messaging expert, you will partner with go-to-market teams to drive business impact through sales and marketing campaigns. You will get real ownership of real launches, and you will have senior product marketers, a technical field team, and engineers who like explaining their work close at hand. Our audience is engineers and platform teams, so the bar is accuracy first: we would rather be precise and useful than clever
- You will support and execute product marketing across Honeycomb's core products, with a generalist mix of messaging, launches, content, enablement, and competitive work. Expect to start by contributing to pieces of each and to own more of them over your first year
- Write and maintain messaging for features and product areas, from the one-sentence version an engineer reads on a web page to the slide a sales engineer uses in a technical conversation. Keep it accurate and grounded in what the product actually does
- Run launch execution for small and mid-sized releases and support the larger ones. Build the plan, write the assets, coordinate Product, Marketing, Sales Engineering, and Customer Success, and report on how the launch performed
- Produce the practical material that helps people evaluate and adopt Honeycomb: blog posts, solution briefs, web copy, demo scripts, FAQs, and customer-facing one-pagers
- Equip the field with what they need to run a good conversation, including pitch narratives, objection handling, battlecards, and release updates. Join customer calls, listen to recorded ones, and fix the material that isn't landing
- Track the observability market and competitor moves. Maintain competitive assets and keep them current and honest, so the field trusts them
- Talk to customers and prospects, turn what you hear into case studies, quotes, and proof points, and bring the patterns back to Product and Marketing
- Help define what success looks like for your work, pull the data, and share what you learn, including the things that didn't work ### Benefits
- 100% covered medical, dental, vision, HSA, FSA, disability, and more
- Unlimited PTO, synchronous company break, paid sabbatical, and expressed minimum for time to recharge
- 401K retirement plans and fully paid life insurance
- Up to 16 weeks paid leave regardless of path to parenthood; flexible hours for returning parents and caregivers
- $10K to cover gaps in insurance, in support of adoption, surrogacy, preservation, and family-planning costs
- $600 per year to spend on the perks you care for most
- A stake in our success
- Generous new hire equity, and refresh grants
- Annual $1,500 development stipend; funding for cognitive coaching; and a focus on career pathing
- $500 new hire home setup stipend and $200/mo for wifi, phone and co-working
