Full Job Description
We're looking for a Product Marketing Manager to be a strategic marketing leader and GTM architect for Threads within the Family of Apps (FOA) Consumer Marketing organization. Reporting to the Global Director, Threads Marketing, you will play a critical role in shaping how Threads shows up in the world - driving the product's growth narrative, go-to-market strategy, and cultural relevance. A defining focus of this role is owning how Threads inserts itself into cultural moments - the inflection points where conversation explodes - and building innovative, scrappy playbooks that make Threads the home of real-time cultural dialogue. The Product Marketing, Creators, Threads team sits within Meta's FOA Consumer Marketing organization and is responsible for bringing Threads' story to the world. We're a lean, high-conviction team that values bold thinking, creative excellence, and deep user empathy. This role offers the opportunity to shape the marketing direction for one of Meta's most important new products at a pivotal growth moment. You will operate as a strategic thought partner to product and executive leadership, set the marketing vision for key areas of the Threads experience, and elevate the craft and rigor of the broader team. You'll work at the intersection of product strategy, consumer insights, brand storytelling, and real-time GTM execution to accelerate Threads' position as the destination for cultural conversation. This person will navigate ambiguous situations by defining structure, identifying priorities, and driving decisions with incomplete information, move fast, and define entirely new ways to show up - not waiting for a perfect playbook but writing it as they go.

Responsibilities

Define and own product marketing strategy for a critical pillar of Threads (e.g., creator ecosystem, community engagement, or core user growth), tightly aligned to product and business goals
• Own end-to-end GTM planning and execution for major product launches, feature rollouts, and cultural moments. Define new, innovative, and scrappy GTM motions that allow Threads to rapidly capitalize on moments where conversation is exploding - from breaking news to entertainment events to internet-native phenomena. Ensure cohesive storytelling across channels, markets, and audiences
• Develop compelling product positioning and messaging frameworks that resonate with diverse global audiences - creators, communities, and everyday users
• Serve as the senior marketing voice in product roadmap discussions, influencing product direction through deep user understanding, market insights, and competitive intelligence. Partner closely with product, engineering, design, comms, and policy
• Drive research, cultural trend analysis, and competitive monitoring to inform marketing and product strategy. Translate insights into actionable recommendations for leadership
• Champion a test-and-learn, builder mentality to GTM. Develop scrappy, low-cost, high-impact activation ideas that don't require massive budgets - think guerrilla marketing, creator-led amplification, real-time social plays, and platform-native moments. Document what works into scalable playbooks for the team
• Mentor and elevate the PMMs on the Threads marketing team, raising the bar on strategic thinking, storytelling, and executional excellence across the group
• Develop and present strategic narratives, campaign results, and business cases to senior and executive audiences within FOA Consumer Marketing and beyond
• Define and own the playbook for how Threads shows up in cultural moments - from tentpole events to spontaneous internet phenomena. Identify moments before they peak, develop rapid-response GTM frameworks, and build repeatable (but never formulaic) approaches that position Threads as the first place people go when conversation ignites. Partner on strategies to grow the creator and public figure ecosystem on Threads, leveraging cultural moments to drive content supply and organic conversation

• Experience operating as a strategic partner to product and engineering leadership
• Demonstrated ability to build GTM strategies from scratch in fast-moving, unstructured environments - not just executing existing playbooks but inventing new ones
• Experience influencing executive decision-making through insights-driven storytelling
• Experience working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with shifting priorities
