A growing global leader in high-precision motion control technology has partnered with us exclusively to find a technically sharp, self-driven Product Marketing Manager to join their Minneapolis-area team.
This company builds advanced motion control systems used inside the most demanding machines on the planet – semiconductor manufacturing, genome sequencing, laser microprocessing, and electronics production. Their products are trusted by OEM engineers who need sub-nanometer precision and zero tolerance for failure. They’re small enough that every person on the team has real impact, and experienced enough (40+ years) that you’ll have senior mentors who’ve already walked the path you’re on.
This is a role open due to promotion, built and shaped by the hiring manager who had this role previously. You’ll step in with a clear runway, an existing content library, and a team with 20+ years of combined product marketing experience across the US, Germany, and Israel. Day one you’re driving go-to-market execution, building out a technical content library, and getting hands-on with voice-of-customer research across a global OEM customer base. Base pay starting at $120k+.
Minneapolis-area location preferred. Remote will be considered for candidates with direct motion control industry backgrounds.
