</ul></div><p><strong>JOB SUMMARY</strong></p>
<p>As the Director of Product Marketing at Storyblok, We're looking for a Product Marketing Director to shape how we position, launch, and grow our product in the market- particularly in the US, UK and EMEA. This is a senior, hands-on role for someone who can translate complex technical capability into compelling, credible narratives — and who's comfortable in the room with engineers as much as with executives. You'll own the connective tissue between Product, Engineering, Sales, and Marketing at a stage where positioning decisions have outsized impact on growth.</p>
<p>You will guide a talented team, focusing on sales enablement, website conversion, feature adoption, and Storyblok’s market positioning with industry analysts and customer review platforms. A key responsibility is to elevate our product marketing function to influence revenue, customer acquisition, and market leadership.</p>
<p>Your mission is to enable Storyblok to win in the market by clearly articulating our value, differentiation, and future direction.<br><br></p>
<p><strong>What you’ll bring:</strong></p>
<p>You're genuinely comfortable operating in technical territory, not just translating it secondhand. You can read API documentation, understand headless CMS architecture, and hold a credible, detailed conversation with engineers and technical evaluators about how the product actually works — its components, integration points, and trade-offs versus alternative approaches. This fluency shows up in the quality of your messaging: you write positioning that developers trust because it's accurate, not just persuasive.&nbsp;</p>
<p>You've likely worked hands-on with developers before, whether as a technical product marketer, solutions engineer, technical product manager, or in an engineering-adjacent role, and you know how to earn credibility with a technical audience rather than assume it.<br><br></p>
<p><strong>ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS</strong></p>
<p><strong>Product Positioning &amp; Messaging</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Own and evolve our core messaging and differentiated value proposition across all audiences (developers, marketers, partners, enterprise buyers), setting the strategic framework the wider team executes against</li>
<li>Direct ongoing customer, market, and competitive research programs to ensure messaging stays relevant, differentiated, and current</li>
<li>Set the standard for translating product capabilities and roadmap into solution-oriented, benefits-led messaging that resonates across the buyer journey</li>
<li>Ensure messaging consistency and governance across all channels — website, campaigns, sales assets, analyst briefings, and customer communications<br><br></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Go-To-Market Strategy &amp; Execution</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Own GTM strategy for major product and feature launches, driving alignment across Product, Growth, Sales, Customer Success, and Content leadership</li>
<li>Define phased rollout strategies that drive awareness, adoption, and revenue impact across key customer segments</li>
<li>Set the standard for launch toolkits — messaging frameworks, FAQs, competitive positioning, product one-pagers, internal training — and build the team capability to produce them at scale</li>
<li>Establish the measurement framework for launch performance and adoption, using it to continuously improve release execution<br><br></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Sales Enablement &amp; Sales Plays</strong></p>

<li>Build a structured sales playbook program aligned to product capabilities, customer pain points, and vertical use cases.</li>

Tips for South African Applicants

Timezone Advantage

South Africa (SAST, UTC+2) overlaps well with European business hours and has a few hours of overlap with US East Coast. Mention your timezone flexibility in your application.

Salary in Context

Even without a listed salary, international remote roles typically pay 2-3x more than equivalent local positions in South Africa due to the exchange rate advantage.

Application Tips

Tailor your CV to international standards — use a clean format, highlight remote work experience, and include your English proficiency. Many SA applicants succeed by emphasising their strong work ethic and cultural adaptability.

Load Shedding Preparedness

If you're applying for a remote role, having a backup power solution (UPS, inverter, or generator) and mobile data as a backup internet connection shows employers you're prepared for South Africa's infrastructure challenges.
