Senior Product Marketing Manager
In the rapidly-evolving world of web3 protocols, infrastructure projects, and dApp communities, the increasing complexity of discerning valuable signals from raw on-chain data is a pressing concern. These entities, rooted in the ethos of decentralization, recognize the paramount importance of crowd-sourced solutions.
Transitioning to the broader landscape, traditional businesses across diverse verticals face similar challenges. For smaller entities, the barrier to entry is high, often leading to prolonged trial-and-error phases and the daunting task of attracting top-tier data scientists and ML engineers. Similarly, more established entities may be restricted to a single ML approach, limiting their perspective. Conversely, there’s a worldwide global community of data scientists and ML engineers (who we call ‘modelers’) seeking to refine their ML expertise, engage with compelling real-world problems, network and collaborate with similar-minded individuals, and ultimately, receive a fair and sustainable compensation for their intellectual contributions.
At Spectral, we are building a platform that can connect modelers and creators. Our mission is to pioneer ML-powered insights' initiation, protection, dissemination, and consumption within an ownership economy. We believe in credible neutrality, ensuring that all interactions, even between unfamiliar actors, are rooted in trust and security. Our platform is designed to empower businesses and innovators to collaboratively transform challenges into opportunities, reshaping the future of collaborative problem-solving.
We are seeking a Senior Product Marketing Manager (PMM) to join our team and lead our go-to-market strategy and product activation initiatives for this new phase of our product. You will play a key role in translating intricate technical functionalities into core product benefits and ensuring our messaging resonates with our modelers and creators' pain points. This position reports directly to the CMO.

- Plan and execute user research programs and complete user journeys to distill insights and refine our profile target personas.
- Conduct ongoing market research to identify trends, customer segments, and competitive intelligence reports. Stay updated on new Web3 and ML trends to inform Spectral's product roadmap and positioning.
