How to Apply for Product Marketing Manager

at Charge Point

🏢 About Charge Point

ChargePoint is the world's largest open EV charging network, with a mission to make electric vehicle charging accessible everywhere. Unlike closed proprietary networks, ChargePoint's open platform enables interoperability and scale, positioning them as a critical enabler of the EV revolution. Working here means you'll be at the forefront of electrifying transportation, collaborating with a team that values innovation and sustainability.

About This Role

As a Product Marketing Manager, you'll serve as the bridge between engineering and the market, translating complex EV charging technologies into clear, compelling stories for customers and partners. Your work will directly impact adoption by enabling sales teams and creating technical content that educates and persuades. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on making technical concepts accessible and enjoys cross-functional collaboration.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your morning might start with a stand-up with product managers to learn about new features, then you'll draft a technical blog post explaining OCPP updates. After lunch, you could collaborate with solutions engineering on a demo script for an upcoming trade show, and end the day analyzing content performance with AI tools to refine your approach.
