The Senior Product Marketing Manager, Competitive Intelligence is a senior individual contributor role responsible for building the analytical and competitive intelligence backbone for product and business decision-making. This role leads deep market, product, and competitor analysis to uncover strategic gaps, quantify opportunities, and shape product inbound, roadmap direction, and go-to-market decisions.

This role is centered on unpacking our product features, functionality, positioning, and future vision against a defined competitor set, then translating that analysis into clear, decision-ready recommendations for Product, PMM, and business leaders. It brings structured, market signal into roadmap decisions and helps turn product capability into measurable commercial impact.

What you will own

• Lead the competitive intelligence discipline for priority product and solution areas.

• Build and maintain frameworks for competitive benchmarking, feature teardown, opportunity sizing, and strategic comparison.

• Analyze our product portfolio against competitors across capability depth, differentiation, packaging, pricing, adoption, and future product direction.

• Quantify trade-offs, risks, and growth opportunities to support roadmap and investment decisions.

• Deliver rigorous, structured insights that influence product inbound, roadmap prioritization, and commercial strategy.

• Enable PMMs and cross-functional partners to use competitive intelligence methods at scale.

• Establish standards for CI analysis quality, confidence levels, and post-decision validation.

Core responsibilities

• Conduct product and competitor teardowns that compare current capabilities, gaps, and strategic positioning.

• Build market sizing, forecasting, and scenario models to quantify opportunity and inform prioritization.

• Perform competitive benchmarking using weighted scoring, maturity models, and capability frameworks.

• Run statistical and analytical work including regression, cohort analysis, clustering, and driver analysis to understand what drives competitive wins and losses.

• Design and analyze experiments and causal tests to validate hypotheses and measure impact.

• Develop customer preference models such as conjoint or MaxDiff when decisions require trade-off analysis.

• Translate complex findings into executive-ready recommendations, readouts, and decision memos.

• Partner closely with Product, PMM, Analytics, and leadership to shape roadmap inputs and validate strategic bets.

• Create reusable CI standards, templates, and frameworks that raise the bar across the PMM organization.

What success looks like

• Competitive intelligence is consistently used to shape product inbound and roadmap decisions early, not after the fact.

• Product and business leaders trust the role’s analysis as a source of decision-grade insight.

• The PMM organization has repeatable CI frameworks that can be applied across solution areas.

• Key product decisions are supported by clear evidence on competitive position, opportunity size, and expected impact.

• Post-launch outcomes regularly validate CI recommendations and improve future decision quality.

• CI work is recognized as a distinct discipline with measurable outcomes, calibrated within-function rather than against unrelated PMM roles.

Minimum qualifications
