Product Marketing Manager - Job Seeker Audience

Description

At LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business. The work location of this role is hybrid, meaning it will be performed both from home and from a LinkedIn office on select days, as determined by the business needs of the team.

This role is based in either New York, San Francisco, or Mountain View.

We are seeking a highly motivated Product Marketing Manager to join our marketing organization, focused on the Job Seeker audience.

Job seekers are at the heart of LinkedIn's platform and marketplace. Millions of professionals come to LinkedIn to discover opportunities, build their networks, develop new skills, showcase their experience, and navigate every stage of their careers. As LinkedIn continues to evolve into the most trusted destination for career growth, we are committed to creating products and experiences that help job seekers find the right opportunities and achieve better career outcomes.

As a Product Marketing Manager for Job Seekers, you will play a critical role in shaping the future of the job search experience. You will develop compelling narratives around our products, deeply understand the needs and behaviors of job seekers, and influence product strategy through audience and market insights. You will partner closely with Product, Engineering, Design, Research, Data Science, Communications, and Marketing teams to bring innovative, AI-powered experiences to market that help job seekers navigate an increasingly dynamic world of work.

The ideal candidate is equal parts strategist, storyteller, researcher, and operator—someone who is excited about understanding member needs and translating them into products, positioning, and experiences that drive meaningful impact. You bring a solution-oriented and creative mindset to think of new ways we can better help job seekers.
