Product Marketing Manager

Role Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled and creative Product Marketing professional to lead the development of compelling technical content that supports strategic events, executive keynotes, and product launches. This role is ideal for a candidate with deep domain expertise in the semiconductor industry—preferably in equipment—and a passion for translating complex technical concepts into clear, engaging narratives for diverse audiences.

This is not a traditional product marketing role. Instead, it requires close collaboration with product managers across business units to distill and simplify product messaging, and to create high-impact visual and written content that supports the company’s strategic communications objectives.

Key Responsibilities

Content Strategy & Development

• Create and manage high-quality content including storyboards, presentations, scripts, messaging frameworks, animations, and videos to support executive communications and strategic events.
• Translate complex technical concepts into clear, visually engaging materials tailored for non-technical audiences such as investors, partners, and customers.
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders to align messaging with business goals and product positioning.

Event & Launch Support

• Partner with the Marketing Communications team to support major industry events, including technology forums, symposia, and conference panels.
• Develop content for executive keynotes, product launches, and customer-facing presentations.
• Ensure consistency and clarity across all event-related materials.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Interface with product managers, engineering, and business unit leaders to gather insights and shape product narratives.
• Act as a strategic partner in simplifying and amplifying product messaging across channels.

Visual Communication & Design Oversight

• Guide the creation of clean, professional graphics and visuals that enhance storytelling and audience engagement.
• Work with internal and external design teams to ensure brand consistency and technical accuracy.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in product marketing, technical communications, or related roles in the semiconductor or high-tech industry.
• Strong portfolio of content creation across formats (PowerPoint, video, animation, scripts, etc.).
• Deep technical understanding of semiconductor technologies, preferably in equipment or process areas.
• Exceptional storytelling and visual communication skills.
• Proven ability to collaborate across functions and influence senior stakeholders.
• Bachelor’s or advanced degree in Engineering, Physics, Marketing, or related field.

Competencies

• Technical Fluency: Ability to understand and communicate complex engineering concepts.
• Content Creation: Skilled in developing multimedia content that resonates with technical and non-technical audiences.
• Strategic Thinking: Aligns content with broader business and marketing goals.
• Collaboration: Works effectively across product, engineering, and marketing teams.
• Influence: Shapes messaging and presentation strategy at the executive level.
