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 Payroll 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 About you • You have 3–6 years of experience in Product Marketing and feel at home working on digital or SaaS products. • You like to take ownership: you’ve already led product or feature launches end to end – from first insight to live release. • You can turn complex technical topics into simple, creative stories that people actually get and that create real “aha” moments. • You’re a natural collaborator and communicator, working smoothly with Product, Sales, Marketing, and other teams to keep everyone aligned. • You care about outcomes: you set clear KPIs, track what’s working (and what isn’t), and adjust your approach based on data. • You think in value and impact, and you enjoy shaping pricing, packaging, and value propositions so they make sense for customers and the business. • You’re AI-native: tools like ChatGPT or Claude are already part of your workflow, and you’re curious to keep exploring what’s possible. • You communicate fluently in English and Dutch (C1/C2 level).
