At BrightLocal, we’re on a mission to empower businesses to grow locally. We achieve this by simplifying growth by removing the complexity of local search marketing, enabling local businesses to outperform their competitors and attract new customers.
We are looking for a Lead Product Marketing Manager to own, drive, and elevate Product Marketing across our platform. As the sole dedicated PMM within the product team, you’ll build the function end-to-end: defining positioning and messaging, deepening customer insight, and leading go-to-market for new products and features.
This is a high-impact, cross-functional role working closely with Product, Design, Engineering, Customer Success, Sales, and Marketing, making sure our strategy is understood, our launches land brilliantly, and we continuously feed customer and market insight back into the product roadmap.
If you thrive in ambiguity, love strategic partnering, and can turn product thinking into clear, compelling stories, we’d love to hear from you.

Lead go-to-market for launches
- Partner with PMs and Marketing to shape GTM strategies for new products and feature releases
- Equip internal teams with the right messaging, launch assets, and training to drive adoption and revenue impact
Bring clarity through communication
- Own how we communicate the product roadmap internally and externally—what’s coming, why it matters, and how it supports our strategy
- Write and manage release notes, product updates, and launch announcements
- Ensure Sales, Support, CSMs, and Marketing have timely visibility on changes and what’s next
- Build playbooks, enablement materials, competitive battlecards, and customer-friendly education content
