Associate Director, Product Marketing at IQM Corporation in Hybrid - NY/DC

Job description

• Build it. Shape it. Scale it.
• IQM is redefining how modern advertisers navigate complex, highly regulated media environments. Our AI‑driven media buying platform is built to deliver smarter decision making, greater transparency, and real performance at scale where precision matters most! We’re building a team of curious and driven problem solvers who want to make an impact and help define what’s next in advertising.
• IQM is seeking an experienced, hands-on Associate Director, Product Marketing to own IQM’s go-to-market and product marketing engine across our high-stakes, regulated verticals. You’ll build the repeatable launch systems and clear product narratives that turn complex adtech into real market performance.
• In this role, you’ll be paired with vertical product managers and work closely with sales and marketing to define positioning, develop enablement and competitive intelligence, and run disciplined alpha/beta/GA launches. This is a role for someone who loves building systems, writes with clarity, and is fluent in modern AI tooling — and is energized by the opportunity to help define a new category in regulated adtech. Experience or interest in political and/or healthcare advertising is a plus.
• This is a founding role — the first dedicated technical and GTM-systems PMM on the team.
• This role is hybrid, meaning team members are expected to work one to two days per week in person at our office location in NY.
• At this time, IQM does not sponsor new applicants for employment authorization for this position.

Responsibilities

• GTM Systems & Launch Ops: Own a repeatable launch framework — define alpha/beta/GA gates, launch checklists, QA/readiness mandates, and standardized launch packages so GTM is ready the moment the product is.
• Positioning & Messaging: Translate complex ad-tech capabilities into clear, human-first narratives and value props by persona and vertical, responding quickly to bespoke, in-the-moment opportunities while keeping product voice and positioning consistent.
• Enablement & Competitive Intelligence: Build and maintain the competitive toolkit — battle cards, comparisons, objection handling, and demo/pitch materials — and train the field to use it with confidence.
• AI-Powered GTM Engine: Design, build, audit, and modernize AI/LLM “skills” and workflows that scale PMM output and keep assets current.
• Cross-Functional Orchestration: Partner across Product (US + India pods), Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, and Events to keep roadmap, messaging, and market needs aligned — owning each workstream end to end.

Requirements

• 6+ years of experience in product marketing / GTM in adtech, with hands-on experience shipping high-stakes products to market.
• Strong understanding of the programmatic ecosystem — DSPs, CTV, audience targeting, and partnership / supply ecosystems.
• Proven ability to translate technical product depth into clear, simple, human-first messaging.
• Track record building repeatable GTM / launch systems (alpha/beta/GA, QA, launch packages) — process discipline and follow-through to completion.
• Ability to project manage from start to launch with attention to detail.
• Highly collaborative, self-directed IC who owns and finishes workstreams; comfortable in a fast-moving startup environment.
• Background at a specialized / independent DSP.
• Hands-on experience with AI/LLM tooling to build and maintain GTM “skills” / workflows.
• Monday.com proficiency.
• Exposure to regulated verticals (political and/or healthcare).
