The Product Marketing Team Structure at Shine
The Product Marketing Manager will report functionally into Product Marketing but will operate day-to-day as part of the Dutch Business Unit — partnering closely with the Business Unit Lead on activity, revenue, and commercial prioritisation.
The role spans the full arc from market understanding to in-market execution, with insights feeding back into the product and roadmap.
Your role as a Product Marketing Manager at Shine
We're looking for a Product Marketing Manager to own how Shine's Invoicing & Accounting product reaches, lands with, and grows its customer base in the Dutch market.
Success in this role means measurable impact on acquisition, activation, adoption, and retention: the product clearly positioned against local competition, and a reliable flow of market insight feeding the roadmap in close partnership with Product Managers.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Market & competitive intelligence: Size the market, track trends and competitors, maintain differentiators and pricing benchmarks, and translate insights into clear recommendations.
- Customer understanding & segmentation: Own the research rhythm in Netherlands (in-app feedback, surveys, interviews, behavioural data, CS/Sales input) and identify underserved segments and use cases.
- Whitespace & opportunities: Size and prioritise new opportunities in local and global context and partner with Product Managers on market-specific discovery.
- Positioning, offer & go-to-market: Localise global positioning and narrative for the Dutch market, define proof points and competitive angles per segment, shape plan differentiation and upsell triggers, and lead hands-on GTM execution (launches, campaigns, messaging).
- Product presence & lifecycle: Own how the product shows up in the Dutch market — website, activation flows, in-app messaging, onboarding — and drive adoption, retention, and feature awareness with clear accountability for outcomes.
- Sales & CS enablement: Equip Sales and CS with sharp enablement: messaging guides, competitive battlecards, objection-handling frameworks, and launch briefings.
📍 Job located in Amsterdam with possibility of two remote working days per week
