Original employer description
Reproduced verbatim from the employer. Verify everything in this brief against the source text below.
Our mission is to automate coding. The first step in our journey is to build the best tool for professional programmers, using a combination of inventive research, design, and engineering. Our organization is very flat, and our team is small and talent dense. We particularly like people who are truth-seeking, passionate, and creative. We enjoy spirited debate, crazy ideas, and shipping code.
We’re looking for a Product Marketing Manager who can translate deeply technical products into clear, compelling stories that resonate with developers.
This is a highly cross-functional, high-impact role. You’ll work closely with product, engineering, and GTM to help define what we build and how we bring it to market. You won’t just launch features—you’ll influence product direction, define positioning, and help developers understand why Cursor matters.
Own end-to-end go-to-market strategy for new features and major releases
Write launch materials (blog posts, landing pages, demos, videos)
Partner with product and engineering to ensure strong product-market fit before launch
Develop clear, differentiated positioning for Cursor and its features
Turn complex AI + developer workflows into simple, compelling narratives
Continuously refine messaging based on user feedback and market shifts
Partner closely with the Developer Relations team to create high-signal content for technical audiences (guides, use cases, comparisons)
Showcase real workflows and power-user behaviors—not generic marketing fluff
Collaborate with the community to highlight authentic use cases
Translate product capabilities into clear, compelling messaging that sales and GTM teams can use effectively
Provide the right narratives, positioning, and materials to communicate value and win users
Partner closely with sales, field, and developer relations to understand customer needs objections
Continuously refine messaging based on real-world feedback and performance
Identify and test new channels to reach developers (Twitter/X, GitHub, YouTube, etc.)
Work with growth to improve activation, onboarding, and retention messaging
Run experiments to improve conversion across the funnel
Talk to users regularly to understand needs, objections, and mental models
Analyze competitors and evolving AI/dev tooling landscape
Bring insights back into product and marketing decisions
You have 3+ years in product marketing, product management, growth, consulting, banking or a similar role (ideally in developer tools or SaaS)
You have a strong technical intuition, you don’t need to be an engineer, but you should be comfortable understanding developer tools and communicating to a technical audience
You have strong product Instincts - ability to engage in product discussions and push back thoughtfully
You have exceptional communication skills, and the aility to simplify complex concepts without dumbing them down
You have high ownership: you can take a project from idea → execution → iteration
You find comfort in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment

Step 3
Each angle below starts from a real signal in the posting. The phrase “if this reflects your real experience” matters — don’t invent experience you don’t have.
Angle 01
Lifecycle / CRM angle
If this reflects your real background, emphasize: segmentation and lifecycle journeys, CRM tooling and journey orchestration, and retention, activation, and reactivation impact
Why we suggest this: posting mentions lifecycle / email / crm and retention.
Keyword stuffing, fabricated bullets, or borrowed metrics tend to backfire in the first screen. Use these as a checklist, not a script.
