Summary
About the role
This Senior Program Manager, Product Marketing Operations role exists to continuously improve how Guidewire's Product Marketing organization operates by owning and evolving its core programs, field communications, team reporting, shared templates, and operating processes while embedding AI-powered workflows that enable the team to move faster, produce higher-quality work, and operate in increasingly AI-native ways.
You will be the operational backbone for how Product Marketing communicates impact, plans work, and shows up with clarity for executives, Sales, Product, and cross‑functional partners. Your work will give your manager and the broader team room to focus on the highest‑leverage parts of the job instead of getting pulled into week‑to‑week execution.
There is no established reporting stack yet for Product Marketing, so part of the job is deciding what tools actually fit Guidewire’s environment and setting them up yourself. Before you build anything as a manual process, your first question should be whether it can run on its own instead.
