Company values
Happy to Help
Help is in our first name! We show up for each other — not out of obligation, but because we’re invested in the team’s collective success. We share knowledge freely, lead with generosity, and practice empathy with our teammates, customers, and community.
Craft over Convention
Our success relies on the quality and craft of the work we put into the world. The status quo simply won’t work. So we insist on narrow focus, sweating every detail, and relentless pursuit of customer delight.
Progress not Perfection
Achieving our true potential — collectively and individually — requires constant progressand forward momentum. By creating a culture of curiosity and openness, we aim to create a safe space for mistakes, the ability to identify them quickly, and use them to get better.
Own the Outcome
Own the outcome means taking full responsibility for the results of your work, decisions, and contributions. It reflects a mindset of accountability, proactiveness, and follow-through. If you “own the outcome,” you don’t just complete tasks, you ensure your work leads to meaningful results, and take initiative to solve problems rather than passing them along.

About the role
We’re looking for a Lead Product Marketing Manager to help us stand out in a crowded, fast-growing market by telling compelling stories, building memorable product moments, and sharpening our competitive edge.
As a member of the Marketing team, you’ll partner closely with content, brand, product managers, product ops, design and sales to shape how our products are understood and experienced by the market.
The goal: make sure customers not only see the value of Help Scout, but feel it.
What you'll do
Put customers at the center of our storytelling. Design and run a long-term program to spotlight customer stories, capturing how Help Scout helps real businesses scale delight. Turn those stories into rich media content that can live across our channels — from sales decks and blogs to social, email, and in-app experiences.
Take products to market. Collaborate with Product Managers, Marketing, and GTM teams to ensure products launch with clear positioning & messaging, grounded in deep product, user, and market understanding. When this is done right, everyone at Help Scout and our customers can understand the value of what we’re shipping and why they should use it.
Lead seasonal product release events. Own the strategy and execution of three product release events per year (Winter, Spring, Fall). Build narratives that showcase how Help Scout uniquely solves customer problems, excite existing customers, and attract new ones.
Build a competitive intelligence program. Conduct and synthesize market and competitive research to inform positioning, support sales, and position Help Scout to win.
Help steer the growth of our Product Marketing function. As PMM evolves at Help Scout, you’ll be a leader in shaping the role and team into our next phase of growth.
