Rime is seeking a Product Marketing Manager to own core product marketing strategy and execution in the San Francisco Bay Area (hybrid role). This is a hands-on, high-output position where product marketing is a strategic function, not a support role. You will shape how the market understands Rime's products, influence product roadmap decisions by bringing customer and market signals into planning conversations, and create the content that powers the go-to-market engine.

REQUIREMENTS: - Strong product marketing experience for LLMs, AI agents, developer tools, APIs, or technical products - Proven track record of owning product launches end-to-end in fast-paced environments - Experience building (or helping build) product marketing as a function from scratch in a startup - Ability to translate deeply technical capabilities into buyer-relevant value propositions - Experience working with and guiding senior partners to launch new products, features, and programs - Strong storytelling skills with ability to craft compelling narratives that interrupt patterns and stand out - Demonstrated excellence at cross-functional collaboration - Hands-on writing, recording, and publishing content yourself (not outsourcing to LLMs) - Voice-of-the-customer perspective with ability to distill actionable product roadmap recommendations from customer feedback, market research, and competitive analysis - Curious, sharp, energetic, and relentless; comfortable pushing on ideas and winning as a team
