About the Role We are building a global consumer-facing product from the ground up, and we’re looking for a Lead Product Marketing Manager to define how this product goes to market and scales up. In this role, you will own end-to-end go-to-market strategy, leading product and feature launches while driving user growth across both in-product and external channels. You’ll play a key role in expanding distribution across social platforms and building engaged user communities that fuel adoption and retention. This is a highly cross-functional, hands-on role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, understands how products grow in today’s ecosystem, and can turn strong products into scalable growth engines. Key Responsibilities: • Own GTM & Launches: Lead end-to-end go-to-market strategy and execution for product features and market expansions. • Drive Cross-Platform Growth: Expand product distribution across social platforms (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit). • Build Communities: Grow and manage engaged user communities (e.g., Reddit, Discord) to drive retention and advocacy. • Partner Cross-Functionally: Align with Product, Operations, and Engineering teams to ensure successful launches and adoption. • Leverage Data & Insights: Use performance metrics and experiments to optimize messaging, channels, and growth strategies. • Scale GTM Operations: Develop playbooks, frameworks, and processes for repeatable, high-impact launches. The Impact You’ll Make: • Drive successful global launches that accelerate user acquisition and engagement. • Build scalable growth channels beyond the core product, especially across social ecosystems. • Establish strong user communities that fuel retention, virality, and continuous feedback loops. • Shape how AppLovin brings new consumer products to market at global scale. Who You Are: • 5+ years of experience in product marketing, product operations, growth marketing, or GTM roles in tech, or content platforms. • Proven track record of leading product launches and driving user growth across digital channels. • Deep understanding of social platforms and community-building dynamics (e.g., Reddit, TikTok, Discord). • Strong storytelling skills—you can translate product features into compelling user-facing narratives. Data-driven and comfortable with experimentation, funnel metrics, and performance analysis. • Experienced in cross-functional collaboration across product, engineering, marketing, and data teams. • Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple launches simultaneously. • Builder mindset—you create structure, processes, and systems in fast-moving environments. Nice to Have: • Experience in building a product from 0-1. • Experience with launching consumer-based platform products. • Background in community-led growth or creator ecosystems. • Familiarity with growth loops, virality mechanics, and lifecycle marketing. • Experience scaling products across international markets. Why Join This Venture: • Build and launch a global consumer product from zero to scale. • Own GTM strategy with direct impact on growth and adoption. • Operate at the intersection of product, growth, and community. • Startup-level ownership backed by AppLovin’s scale, technology, and resources. • Shape how modern products grow—not just within apps, but across platforms and communities.
