## Description (the employer's text)

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today, SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary and expanding consciousness to the stars.

SpaceXSI is building Super Intelligence to help humanity understand the universe. Our teams are building the full Super Intelligence stack: from our Colossus supercomputers, to Grok models, to our suite of applications, including Grok Bot, Grok Build, Grok Imagine, Grok Voice, and X. We're creating a powerful flywheel where more compute trains better models, better models power more useful products, and what we learn from people using those products shapes what we build next.

### About the role

We’re looking for a Product Marketing Manager who can translate deeply technical products into clear, compelling stories that resonate with developers.

This is a highly cross-functional, high-impact role. You’ll work closely with product, engineering, and GTM to help define what we build and how we bring it to market. You won’t just launch features—you’ll influence product direction, define positioning, and help developers understand why Cursor matters.

### What You’ll Do

### Product Launches

Own end-to-end go-to-market strategy for new features and major releases

Write launch materials (blog posts, landing pages, demos, videos)

Partner with product and engineering to ensure strong product-market fit before launch

### Positioning & Messaging

Develop clear, differentiated positioning for Cursor and its features

Turn complex AI + developer workflows into simple, compelling narratives

Continuously refine messaging based on user feedback and market shifts

### Developer-Focused Content

Partner closely with the Developer Relations team to create high-signal content for technical audiences (guides, use cases, comparisons)

Showcase real workflows and power-user behaviors—not generic marketing fluff

Collaborate with the community to highlight authentic use cases

### Go-To-Market Enablement

Translate product capabilities into clear, compelling messaging that sales and GTM teams can use effectively

Provide the right narratives, positioning, and materials to communicate value and win users

Partner closely with sales, field, and developer relations to understand customer needs objections

Continuously refine messaging based on real-world feedback and performance

### Growth & Distribution

Identify and test new channels to reach developers (Twitter/X, GitHub, YouTube, etc.)

Work with growth to improve activation, onboarding, and retention messaging

Run experiments to improve conversion across the funnel

### Customer & Market Insight

Talk to users regularly to understand needs, objections, and mental models

Analyze competitors and evolving AI/dev tooling landscape

Bring insights back into product and marketing decisions

### You may be a fit if

You have 3+ years in product marketing, product management, growth, consulting, banking or a similar role (ideally in developer tools or SaaS)

You have a strong technical intuition, you don’t need to be an engineer, but you should be comfortable understanding developer tools and communicating to a technical audience

You have strong product Instincts - ability to engage in product discussions and push back thoughtfully

You have exceptional communication skills, and the aility to simplify complex concepts without dumbing them down

You have high ownership: you can take a project from idea → execution → iteration

You find comfort in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment
