Instructional Empowerment (IE) is a mission-driven organization dedicated to ending generational poverty and eliminating achievement gaps through rigorous Tier 1 instruction that ensures deeper learning for ALL students.
About the Role
We are seeking a revenue-oriented Product Marketing Manager (PMM) to lead go-to-market strategy, sales enablement, and product positioning across our portfolio with a specific focus on school employee observation and evaluation.
This is not a brand marketing role. This is a commercial, pipeline-impact position focused on accelerating revenue, increasing win rates, and driving expansion within K–12 school districts.

The PMM operates at the intersection of Product, Business Development, and Marketing — ensuring our solutions are clearly differentiated, sales teams are equipped to win, and launches translate into measurable revenue impact.
This role requires prior sales and/or marketing experience. K–12 commercial experience (sales, marketing, product, or product marketing within school districts) is highly preferred. An educator background is not required.
What You’ll Own
Go-To-Market & Revenue Strategy
  • Lead end-to-end go-to-market strategy for new products (including professional development and use of proprietary software) enhancements and service offerings.
  • Define Individual Customer Profiles (ICPs), buyer personas, and district-level decision drivers.
  • Develop differentiated positioning and messaging aligned to competitive realities.
  • Build launch strategies that directly support pipeline creation and deal acceleration.
  • Identify cross-sell and expansion opportunities within existing accounts.
  • Partner with Business Development to align messaging to each stage of the consultative sales cycle.
Sales Enablement & Commercial Execution
  • Develop high-impact sales tools in collaboration with subject matter experts, including:
    • Sales decks
    • Competitive battlecards
    • Case studies
    • Board-ready adoption materials
    • ROI messaging
    • Campaign narratives
  • Improve underperforming collateral using win/loss analysis and performance data.
  • Equip sales teams with messaging that shortens sales cycles and improves close rates.
Customer & Market Intelligence
  • Conduct voice-of-customer research (interviews, advisory groups, surveys, win/loss analysis).
  • Monitor competitive positioning and district funding trends.
  • Translate insight into actionable recommendations for Product roadmap and commercial strategy.
Performance & Revenue Impact
  • Analyze pipeline data, win rates, evaluation adoption, purchase, and implementation sales cycle velocity, and adoption metrics.
  • Measure Go-to- Market effectiveness and optimize based on performance.
  • Provide leadership with strategic recommendations to increase market penetration and Annual Recurring Revenue growth.

Required Qualifications
  • 5+ years of experience in product marketing, sales, marketing, go-to-market strategy, or revenue enablement.
  • Direct sales and/or marketing experience required.
  • Experience supporting complex, consultative B2B sales cycles.
  • Demonstrated success developing positioning and enablement that drives measurable revenue impact.
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to turn data into commercial strategy.
  • Experience working cross-functionally with Product, Marketing, and Sales leadership.
  • Strong business acumen and comfort operating in a revenue-driven environment.
Highly Preferred
  • Experience K-12 industry, Ed-Tech or Teacher Evaluation experience
  • Experience selling to or marketing within public school districts.
  • Familiarity with district-level buying processes, funding cycles, and board approval dynamics.
