Full Job Description
We're looking for a Product Marketing Manager to translate Kira's platform capabilities into compelling narratives that drive adoption among educators, administrators, and institutional decision-makers. You'll help shape the messaging, positioning, and go-to-market strategy that resonates with our target audiences. This is a clarity-obsessed role: you'll cut through the noise of AI hype and generic EdTech promises to articulate exactly why Kira is different, and why that difference matters for learning outcomes.

What You'll Do

Positioning & Messaging
  • Help share Kira's core positioning as the first AI Operating System for education, and develop messaging frameworks that articulate it consistently across every internal and external audience: educators, curriculum leaders, institutional administrators, government officials, and corporate learning leaders.
  • Conduct competitive analysis that goes beyond feature matrices to capture positioning and market perception, and craft differentiation narratives that make Kira's unique value clear.
  • Keeping positioning and messaging fresh and relevant as the product and market evolve.

Go-to-Market Strategy & Execution
  • Partner with Customer Success, Sales, and Enablement to build effective GTM motions for different market segments and deal types.
  • Create sales enablement materials including pitch decks, one-pagers, case studies, and objection-handling guides.
  • Help plan and execute product launches that generate awareness and demand.

Customer & Market Intelligence
  • Build a deep understanding of Kira's customers - what they care about, how they make decisions, what objections they raise - and synthesize voice-of-customer insights to inform product and marketing strategy.
  • Track EdTech and AI market trends to identify opportunities and threats.

Cross-Functional Partnership
  • Partner with Product to understand the roadmap and translate new capabilities into market-facing narratives.
  • Work with the Learning team to develop proof points around pedagogical quality and learning outcomes.
  • Collaborate with Design on visual identity and brand consistency.


What We're Looking For
  • 4+ years of product marketing experience in education technology (preferred), B2B SaaS, or enterprise software
  • Proven ability to develop differentiating positioning in competitive markets.
  • Experience marketing products with complex value propositions to multiple buyer personas.
  • Strong writing skills, with the ability to make technical concepts accessible.
  • Comfort operating in fast-moving environments where priorities shift.
Success in This Role Looks Like
  • Kira's positioning is clear, differentiated, and consistently articulated across all channels.
  • The go-to-market team has the materials it needs and actively uses them.
  • The Kira 2.0 launch generates significant market awareness and qualified demand.
  • The market increasingly recognizes Kira as the category leader in AI-native education.

What We Offer
  • Competitive compensation and equity. For applicants in the US, the compensation range for this role is $140,000 - $160,000, depending on relevant experience and skill set.
  • Medical, dental, vision and life insurance, including a medical insurance plan with 100% coverage of employee premiums.
  • DoorDash credit for lunch daily.
  • Wellhub Membership: 100% company-paid access to premium gym networks (Orangetheory, SoulCycle), 60+ wellness apps (Headspace, MyFitnessPal, Apple Fitness+), and 1:1 coaching sessions spanning fitness, mental health, nutrition, and sleep.
  • Dog friendly office .
