at Constantcontact

🏢 About Constantcontact

Constant Contact empowers small businesses, nonprofits, and entrepreneurs with digital marketing tools that help them grow. The company is known for its supportive, ownership-driven culture and a mission that makes a tangible difference in the lives of its customers.

About This Role

This is a 0→1 product leadership role focused on building partner-driven products that deliver outsized value. You’ll own the vision and execution from concept to launch, working with partners to create experiences that couldn’t exist alone.

💡 A Day in the Life

Start by reviewing partnership pipeline metrics and customer feedback from recent experiments. Meet with engineering and design to brainstorm a new collaborative feature concept, then jump on a call with a potential partner to align on value proposition. End the day by iterating on a product roadmap based on data from an A/B test.

🎯 Who Constantcontact Is Looking For

  • Has 7+ years of product management experience, with at least 3 years in growth or partnerships roles.
  • Thrives in ambiguity and has a track record of launching 0→1 products in partnership with external companies.
  • Strong data-driven decision-making skills combined with customer empathy and intuition.
  • Excellent stakeholder management and ability to influence without authority across engineering, design, and partners.

📝 Tips for Applying to Constantcontact

1

Highlight specific examples of 0→1 products you’ve launched, especially those involving partnerships.

2

Show how you’ve navigated ambiguity: include a project where the path wasn’t clear and you defined it.

3

Tailor your resume to emphasize growth metrics (e.g., revenue, user acquisition) and partnership outcomes.

4

In your cover letter, mention why Constant Contact’s mission to help small businesses resonates with you.

5

Research Constant Contact’s current partner ecosystem and suggest a potential partnership idea in your application.

  • Not mentioning specific partnership experience—generic product management stories won’t stand out.
