Remote Product Marketing Manager in Armagh

Our everyday digital experiences are in the midst of a realtime revolution. Whether chatting alongside a livestreaming event, receiving realtime financial information, or working with colleagues in an online collaborative environment - consumers simply expect realtime digital experiences as standard. At Ably we’re not just witnessing this revolution, we’re powering it - at scale. At the heart of our mission lies a commitment to putting developers first. Ably provides a suite of products to build, extend, and deliver powerful digital experiences in realtime, delivering billions of messages for millions of devices every day and supporting organizations like Harness, EA, Panasonic and HubSpot. Working at Ably means helping to build the infrastructure and technology that will power and shape the future of the internet. The opportunity in front of us is immense. And we’d like your help.

As our Product Marketing Manager, you’ll play a critical role in the go-to-market engine that powers Ably’s growth. You’ll translate our technical infrastructure into tools and assets that empower our Sales and Customer Success teams, and craft compelling narratives that resonate with developers and engineering leaders. This role needs someone who thinks strategically, executes independently and can effectively bridge the gap between complex technology and commercial impact. You’ll be responsible for ensuring that both our internal teams and our users are set up to succeed.

Day to day, you will:

• Set Sales and Customer Success up to excel. You'll build the tools, assets, and collateral that make it easy for our teams to demonstrate value and win deals, ensuring both new business and expansion motions are well supported.
• Build and own our competitive intelligence system. You'll establish a dynamic, AI-powered competitor tracking capability that keeps the business informed and responsive; not a manual spreadsheet, but an operating system that surfaces insights automatically and gives teams the information they need.
• Drive go-to-market for Ably’s suite of products and features. You'll own launches from positioning through execution, ensuring alignment with our ICP and commercial objectives. You'll drive collaboration between Product, Sales, and Marketing, translating product vision into narratives and bringing market insight back to the roadmap.
• Create high-impact technical content. You'll develop case studies, comparison guides, blog posts, and thought leadership that showcase Ably's value with a developer-first lens. You understand how to create content that works across the funnel and resonates with both technical practitioners and engineering leaders.
• Build presence in developer communities. You'll look beyond traditional marketing channels to grow Ably's visibility where our audience actually lives, through content, demos, video tutorials, or active participation in technical forums and open source ecosystems.
• Leverage AI to scale your impact. You'll use AI tooling to accelerate content creation, competitive research, and asset production. You’ll need to be AI-native, constantly looking for ways to compound your effectiveness and build systems that don't depend on manual effort.

We'd love to talk if you have:

• Significant product marketing experience within a technology-driven B2B SaaS environment targeting technical or developer personas. You must have built effective, scalable frameworks and playbooks for product marketing in this environment previously.
• A genuinely strategic mindset. You can zoom out to shape positioning and messaging but also have a strong track record of owning initiatives end-to-end; not just contributing to them.
• Strong skills in sales enablement, with concrete examples of tools, assets, and resources you've built that drove measurable commercial impact across new business and expansion.
• Strong technical acumen with the ability to understand complex infrastructure or API products and translate them into narratives that resonate with both developers and engineering leaders.
• An AI-first approach to your work — you reach for AI tooling instinctively, use it to move faster and think bigger, and actively look for ways to build systems that don't depend on manual effort.
• A data-driven mindset, with the ability to measure and report on marketing effectiveness and iterate based on what's actually working.
• Experience at a startup or growth-stage company, or the adaptability to thrive in a fast-paced, agile environment with a focus on rapid iteration, with excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Bonus points if you have:

• A background in or meaningful exposure to developer relations, with an understanding of how to engage technical communities and create content that resonates beyond traditional marketing channels.
• An active presence in technical communities — through blogging, open source contributions, conference talks, or developer forums.
• Familiarity with realtime infrastructure, messaging systems or pub/sub architectures.
