We are reinventing global trade.

We believe global trade can move the human race forward. That’s why it’s our mission to make global trade easy for everyone.

Flexport today connects almost 10,000 clients and suppliers across 116 countries, including established global brands like Georgia-Pacific as well as emerging innovators like Sonos.

With offices on three continents, our team is as global as our client base. Wherever you are, whichever role you play, you’re guaranteed to share your day with passionate and resourceful team members who are in it together.

The opportunity:

Flexport is looking for a skilled and experienced Director of Product Marketing to join our growing marketing team. In this role, you will lead a world-class product marketing function while driving our strategic efforts across product launches, customer research and product content. In this leadership role, you’ll have the chance to work with our product, engineering, sales and marketing teams to launch and scale products and solutions at the intersection of technology and supply chain. The ability to understand our customers and help them explore and adopt our products and solutions will be key to success.

You will:

  • Define and improve Flexport’s product marketing strategy to launch new products and solutions or reposition existing offerings.
  • Own the marketing plan for our business units, including measuring effectiveness and impact on key business outcomes.
  • Partner with our executive team and business unit leaders to refine our messaging, build best-in-class content and hit launch milestones to achieve the goals in our annual operating plans.
  • Manage internal and external partners and agencies to improve our web, social and sales assets with the goal of clearly communicating the value we provide to our customers, carrier-partners and the communities where we operate.
  • Ensure the success of our marketing launches and campaigns by working effectively with the broader marketing team for execution, including our team members across the globe.

You should have:

  • 7 years experience in product marketing in high tech or supply chain and logistics, with a proven track record of launching and scaling new products and solutions.
  • 4 years of leadership experience and the skills, confidence and competence to engage with executives at the strategic and tactical level.
  • Experience with content creation, competitive positioning, product launch planning, customer research and go-to-market strategy.
  • Ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams and influence decision making across all levels of the organization, with a focus on developing a strong relationship and operating cadence with product and tech leadership.
  • Ability to leverage data for decision making and storytelling without becoming slow to act in a performance oriented environment.
  • T-shaped marketing skill set: we’re looking for marketing generalists that can pinch-hit in any given domain of marketing, while drawing on the skills and insights from a singular area of deep specialization
