Instructional Empowerment (IE) is a mission-driven organization dedicated to ending generational poverty and eliminating achievement gaps through rigorous Tier 1 instruction that ensures deeper learning for ALL students.
About the Role
We are seeking a revenue-driven Product Marketing Manager (PMM) who is also a strong storyteller and strategic communicator to lead go-to-market strategy, sales enablement, and product positioning across our K–12 portfolio, with a focus on school employee evaluation solutions.
This is a commercial role, not brand marketing. The PMM is accountable for product marketing campaign effectiveness, pipeline growth, win rates, and revenue impact, and sits at the intersection of Product, Business Development, and Marketing.
A key part of this role is the ability to translate complex products into clear, compelling, customer-centered narratives that drive district understanding, urgency, and adoption.

  • Align positioning across Product, Sales, and Marketing to support revenue growth
  • Identify expansion and cross-sell opportunities
  • Strong copywriting skills for website, product brochures, email campaigns, and PPC ads
  • Social media strategies
Storytelling & Sales Enablement
  • Create high-impact sales tools including decks, case studies, battlecards, ROI narratives, and board-ready materials
  • Turn complex product concepts into simple, persuasive, story-driven messaging
  • Strengthen sales effectiveness by improving messaging, storytelling, and collateral using win/loss insights
  • Equip sales teams with narratives that shorten cycles and improve close rates
Customer & Market Insight
  • Conduct voice-of-customer research (interviews, surveys, win/loss analysis)
  • Translate insights into messaging, positioning, and product recommendations
  • Monitor competitive landscape and market trends
Revenue & Performance Impact
  • Analyze pipeline, win rates, conversion, and adoption metrics
  • Optimize go-to-market effectiveness based on data
  • Support revenue growth and market expansion strategies
Required Qualifications
  • 5+ years in product marketing, sales, marketing, or go-to-market roles
  • Direct sales and/or marketing experience required
  • Experience in consultative B2B sales environments
  • Strong copywriting, storytelling, and messaging skills
  • Ability to translate complex ideas into clear, compelling value propositions
  • Strong analytical skills and data-driven decision-making
  • Cross-functional collaboration experience with Product, Sales, and Marketing
Highly Preferred
  • K–12 product management, product marketing and/or sales experience
  • Experience selling to or marketing within public school districts
  • Understanding of district procurement and funding cycles
  • Portfolio demonstrating messaging, storytelling, or campaign work
