The Situation: Malt is actively shaping the "New Way of Work." As a European scale-up with over 600 employees across Europe, UK, UAE, and more than 1 million freelancers on our platform, we are in a thrilling growth phase—bolstered by a new Executive team. As we rapidly expand our footprint, we are treating this role as the foundation of a critical internal business unit. We need an exceptional Senior Product Marketing Manager to architect the narrative and go-to-market engine for our core business initiatives, operating with high autonomy in a dynamic, high-stakes market landscape.

The mission: Drive zero-to-one growth by architecting our go-to-market strategy, uniting cross-functional teams, and translating intricate customer insights into highly scalable commercial execution. Taking full ownership of our product positioning, you will develop deep mastery in advanced marketplace economics and multi-stakeholder enablement, delivering the tangible business outputs that will directly accelerate our Gross Sales Volume (GSV) and market penetration.

Action: Architect and drive comprehensive go-to-market strategies for multiple core product areas, decoding industry, market, and competitive intelligence to position Malt decisively.

Output: Compelling, highly differentiated value propositions, messaging frameworks, and full-scale GTM campaigns that tell a resonant story and set us apart in the market.

Metrics of Performance: GSV pipeline generated from new product launches and overall product adoption rates.

Action: Engineer and relentlessly optimize a robust commercial toolkit, empowering sales, account development, and marketing with the exact insights and narratives they need to win.

Output: A dynamic, scalable "bill of materials" encompassing high-converting content for demand generation, client lifecycle marketing, and sales acceleration.

Metrics of Performance: Sales cycle velocity (time-to-close) and conversion rate optimization across the entire funnel.

Action: Synthesize complex customer feedback and pilot data to proactively dictate general product releases, acting as the strategic bridge uniting Product Management, Sales, and Customer Success.

Output: Market-validated product pilots, beta programs, and seamless cross-organizational alignment that directly shape and de-risk the product roadmap.

Metrics of Performance: Beta-to-General-Availability successful transition rate and stakeholder alignment velocity.
