Requirements
  • Native or bilingual German is structurally essential to the role.
  • A proven first experience as a Field marketer, PMM or Product Marketer, ideally in B2B Software as a Service.
  • Comfort working in English and German across multiple teams and stakeholders; you enjoy coordinating complex, multi-stakeholder projects.
  • AI is part of your toolkit, not a bonus skill; you are comfortable using AI tools as a natural extension of your workflow.
  • You need to understand the big picture before you can do good work, and you can translate that big picture into sharp, actionable copy.
  • You're a natural storyteller: you can make complex concepts accessible, you write with conviction, and you're not afraid to take the mic in front of 100 people.
  • You thrive in ambiguous, fast-changing international environments.
  • You're willing to roll up your sleeves: this role ships things, it doesn't just strategize.
  • You bring creative, unconventional ideas to the table.
Responsibilities
  • Go-to-Market: you will build and execute all GTM collateral for German product launches: product emails, visuals, LinkedIn campaigns, webinars, in-product communications, ads.
  • Positioning & Messaging: you will be the person who best understands perceived value from German clients' perspective; you will translate that into the German website, customer testimonials, landing pages, and brochures.
  • Product Enablement: working hand-in-hand with our global sales enablement manager, you will develop and update sales tools (pitch decks, demo flows, objection handling, battlecards); you will co-run product training sessions for the German sales team and close the feedback loop on the commercial playbook.
  • Market Intelligence: you will be the go-to expert on the German legal market: competitors, personas, buying dynamics; you will own the creation and maintenance of German battlecards and personas, and you will synthesize market signals into actionable insight for both the product and sales teams.
  • User Education: working with Product and Growth, you will make sure German users adopt and activate the full range of Doctrine's features through targeted campaigns and in-app actions.
  • Performance: you will define what a successful German launch looks like, track, iterate, and maximize the impact of everything you ship.

Doctrine provides PHP libraries for database storage and object mapping, most notably the Object Relational Mapper (ORM) and the Database Abstraction Layer (DBAL). These open-source tools help PHP developers interact with databases by mapping PHP objects to database tables and by offering a unified API for database operations. The project is widely used across PHP frameworks such as Symfony, Laravel, and Laminas, and is maintained by a volunteer community under the MIT license. Unlike proprietary DB tools, Doctrine is funded through donations and sponsorships, and it also engages the developer community through blogs, events, and consulting. The goal is to give PHP developers stable, flexible database management capabilities and a reliable open-source ecosystem.
