Responsibilities

PowerSchool is evolving how we go to market, organizing around Impact Centers that align our solutions to the real priorities of districts, schools, and educators. We are looking for a dynamic Director of Product Marketing to lead one of these Impact Centers and shape how PowerSchool delivers and communicates value across an aligned set of solution areas.

This Director of Product Marketing role is both strategic and hands-on. You will own the go-to-market narrative for your Impact Center, centering our story on customer value and the educational outcomes our solutions help make possible. You will lead and mentor a team of product marketers, partner deeply across Product, Sales, Customer Success, Enablement, and Marketing, and move with urgency to turn strategy into action.

• Serve as a primary cross-functional leader and collaborator for Sales, Solution Engineering, Customer Experience, Enablement, Brand, and Demand Marketing.
• Manage, coach, and mentor a team of Product Marketers, setting clear priorities and raising the bar on execution, storytelling, and impact.
• Roll up your sleeves as needed, jumping into narratives, launches, or customer-facing work when urgency or complexity demands it.
• Track and communicate Impact Center performance, including pipeline influence, adoption, engagement, and brand impact.
