Director, Product Marketing (Hardware)

We’re looking for a Director of Product Marketing to join ŌURA, focused on hardware innovation and cross platform experiences. This is a senior leadership role who can step into complex hardware NPI programs and own the full product marketing strategy: from early product development through audience definition, positioning, messaging, and comprehensive go-to-market planning across retail, eCommerce, PR, and integrated marketing.

You’ll own launch strategy end-to-end, shape the customer narrative, drive GTM alignment, and lead the broader cross functional team through key stage gates to launch. As the PMM lead for your launches, you’ll partner cross-functionally across Product, Program Management, Design, Research, Brand, Creative, Comms/PR, Growth, and Lifecycle to bring our products and features to consumers globally. The ideal candidate brings deep experience in consumer hardware marketing, strong GTM instincts, and the ability to translate technical innovation into clear, differentiated customer value across hardware and software. While this role is weighted toward hardware NPI, you’ll also need to be comfortable leading software features and app experiences, ensuring every launch ladders into a cohesive, integrated product story.

You bring both Director-level strategic thinking and hands-on execution. You’re comfortable turning ambiguity into decisions, influencing senior cross-functional stakeholders without authority, and building confidence in the GTM plan. You excel at transforming insights into sharp narratives and translating those narratives into crisp, actionable briefs that create cohesive stories across hardware, software, and the full member experience. You operate as a force multiplier, helping raise the bar on product marketing craft and rigor across the team.

What you will do:

Influencing Product Development 

• Partner closely with Product, Design, and Research early in development to shape roadmap decisions with market, customer, and competitive insights.
• Collaborate with Research to define learning agendas, inform ICPs and key audience segments, validate positioning, and pressure-test value propositions 
• Lead competitive analysis across hardware and software – monitoring market trends, pricing, feature sets, and messaging to inform GTM launch strategy 
• Translate research and insights into clear product inputs, positioning recommendations, and launch implications.
• Identify opportunity spaces in the market to help guide innovation, GTM prioritization and portfolio impact. 

GTM Planning 

• Lead end-to-end launch strategy for hardware NPI and key cross-platform releases - defining target audiences, positioning, value propositions, messaging architecture, and success metrics.
• Develop the Product Marketing Guide that serves as the source of truth for understanding why we’re building our product, what it is, who it’s for and the consumer story across hardware, software and design. 
• Drive cross-functional program leadership to ensure key inputs are being accounted for launch readiness.
• Influence executive stakeholders with clear recommendations, trade-offs, and data-informed POVs to drive timely decisions around features and GTM.
• Partner with Product, Finance and Growth to inform demand planning, revenue forecasting, and launch performance expectations.
• Establish launch milestones, identify risks and dependencies early, and ensure strong in-market measurement and optimization plans.

Campaign and Creative Development 

• Partner with Integrated Marketing (IMM) to translate PMM strategy into cohesive, insight-led campaign briefs to inform channel marketing strategy 
• Ensure message consistency across touchpoints while tailoring emphasis by channel, audience segment, and stage of the customer journey.
• Collaborate closely with IMM and the channel leads (Growth, Lifecycle, Retail, eCommerce, PR, Social) to ensure execution ladders back to core positioning and launch strategies 
• Provide clear, constructive feedback to ensure product accuracy, benefit clarity, and differentiation across messaging and creative assets 
• Influence packaging strategy for hardware NPI, including naming, on-box messaging, value hierarchy, and retail considerations.
• Support performance readouts and post-launch learning, partnering with channel teams to refine messaging and optimize impact in-market.

This is a remote US role.

• Strong storytelling instincts with the ability to translate technical innovation and clinical insights into meaningful value propositions for consumers, partners, and internal stakeholders.
