How to Apply for Product Marketing Manager

at VEIR

🏢 About VEIR

VEIR is revolutionizing power delivery with superconducting lines that carry 5-10x more power while reducing space and corridor needs. Their technology addresses critical bottlenecks in electricity generation, transmission, and data center power delivery, making them a key player in the clean energy transition.

About This Role

As the Product Marketing Manager, you will own the end-to-end product marketing function, serving as the bridge between the Product team and commercial teams. Your work will directly impact how VEIR's groundbreaking superconducting solutions are positioned and brought to market in data centers and utility sectors.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start with a cross-functional sync to align on product launch timelines, followed by drafting messaging for a new data center solution. Afternoon could involve reviewing competitive analysis from the sales team and preparing a presentation for an industry conference. You'll also collaborate with engineering to translate technical specs into customer-facing collateral.

🎯 Who VEIR Is Looking For

  • Has 5+ years of product marketing experience, preferably in deep-tech, energy, or industrial B2B contexts.
  • Demonstrates ability to translate complex technical concepts (e.g., superconducting power systems) into compelling value propositions for diverse audiences.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment with cross-functional teams (engineering, sales, communications).
  • Proven track record of launching products and driving go-to-market strategies from scratch.

📝 Tips for Applying to VEIR

1

Highlight any experience with high-voltage or superconducting technologies, even tangential (e.g., power electronics, grid components).

2

Showcase specific examples of creating product messaging for technical B2B audiences, especially in regulated industries.

3

Mention familiarity with data center or utility industry dynamics (e.g., power density needs, permitting challenges).

4

Tailor your resume to emphasize end-to-end product marketing ownership, not just execution of tasks.

5

Address the remote nature of the role: demonstrate self-motivation and async communication skills.

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter
