Plaud is a bootstrapped, skyrocketing, profitable company with a $300M revenue run rate achieved in just three years.
Define the next-gen paradigm for human-AI interaction.
Gain exposure to cutting-edge AI for Pro tools and play a direct role in our global expansion.

Grow your career in a culture that champions continuous learning and fast career development.
Market-competitive compensation, global exposure, and a vibrant, creativity-fueled work atmosphere.
Plaud is building the AI-native workspace for professionals, spanning hardware, software, and AI. We're looking for a Product Marketing Manager who is equal parts strategist, translator, and writer. This means someone who deeply understands how AI products work under the hood and can distill that complexity into messaging that feels simple, human, and focused on value.
You won't hand a message house to a copywriter, you'll own the full arc from positioning strategy for the Americas region through the final published word, ensuring everything we ship is sharp, benefit-led, and jargon-free.
What you will do
Own product messaging for the Americas end-to-end — from value propositions, positioning, and message houses through to final copy on pages, key channels, and campaigns — ensuring a single, coherent voice with no strategy-to-copy handoff gap
Translate AI and hardware capabilities into clear user value: turn model capabilities, specs, and technical nuances into benefit-led messaging with accurate proof points, in close partnership with Product and R&D
Act as the "translator" between engineering and users — pressure-test technical claims, understand product mechanics deeply enough to simplify them without distorting them, and replace AI jargon with language real users actually say
Define hero workflows that unify the Plaud experience across device, software, and AI, and translate them into user stories, demo narratives, and core messaging
Set and uphold the quality bar for simplicity and human tone across all Americas content, down to word-level choices
Adapt global messaging for Americas audiences, channels, and competitive context
Write and deliver launch-ready assets in partnership with Creative, including product and landing pages, PDP and Amazon content, comparison charts, onboarding copy, feature explainers, blogs, video scripts, and campaign copy
Lead go-to-market storytelling and execution for device launches and major product releases, including launch briefs, messaging kits, FAQs, and rollout plans
Enable Sales, Marketing, Support, and regional/global teams with product training, enablement decks, and internal briefs
Use user feedback, product data, and competitive insight to continuously refine positioning, differentiation, and messaging quality
Skills, qualifications and experience we look for
7+ years in product marketing, content strategy, or equivalent, with hands-on experience marketing AI products (AI-native software, LLM-powered tools, or AI hardware strongly preferred)
A technical foundation — an engineering or computer science background, or equivalent hands-on technical depth (e.g., shipping products alongside engineering teams, building with LLM APIs) — sufficient to genuinely understand product mechanics before simplifying them
Demonstrated ability to translate complex AI and technical capabilities into simple, accessible, human language; you'll be asked to share writing samples that show this
End-to-end messaging ownership: proven ability to run the full stack from strategic positioning and message house development through polished final copy, combining the PMM, content, and copywriting crafts in one person
Exceptional writing: clarity, hierarchy, audience fit, and word-level precision, including hardware details
Strong execution — able to ship high-quality assets quickly across multiple work streams
Daily fluency with AI tools in your own workflow to improve efficiency and content quality
Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to take work from 0 to 1 and turn ambiguity into clear ideas
Experience working closely with global and regional teams to bring highly cross-functional work to life
Data-informed mindset that synthesizes product data, user insights, and competitive intelligence into messaging improvements
Excellent written and verbal communication in English
