Product Marketing Manager, Bitcoin Mining

Company Description

Block is one company built from many blocks, all united by the same purpose of economic empowerment. The blocks that form our foundational teams — People, Finance, Counsel, Hardware, Information Security, Platform Infrastructure Engineering, and more — provide support and guidance at the corporate level. They work across business groups and around the globe, spanning time zones and disciplines to develop inclusive People policies, forecast finances, give legal counsel, safeguard systems, nurture new initiatives, and more. Every challenge creates possibilities, and we need different perspectives to see them all. Bring yours to Block.

Team overview

We believe everyone should be able to participate and thrive in the economy. We believe bitcoin plays an essential role in the future of payments and the world’s economy. We believe that the status quo of bitcoin mining does not serve the mission of the bitcoin ecosystem. So we’re building a bitcoin mining rig powered by a Block designed ASIC. With our mining rig, we can address many issues such as the concentration of hardware supply in certain countries and incompatibility with clean energy sources.

Job Description

We are looking for a product marketer who can bring analytical thinking, structure, and stakeholder management on the path to bringing Block’s bitcoin mining products to life. You will be responsible for partnering with our product, engineering, and go-to-market teams to grow our portfolio of bitcoin mining products. Based on deep, ongoing customer discovery and market insights, you’ll represent the customer voice in order to influence product strategy and develop the product positioning, messaging and channel strategy to drive key business outcomes. 

We’re a startup building new products and an entirely new brand (yet-to-be named!) within an established larger tech company.  So you’ll have the autonomy and speed of working in a small team, with the support of the Block ecosystem. You’ll be connected to the wider product marketing community from other parts of the company — Square, Cash App, Spiral, and Tidal — so you’ll have a chance to lean on experienced product marketers as sounding boards and have autonomy. 

This role can be based anywhere in the US or Canada. And if you prefer an office environment, we have team-members working in offices in Toronto, and offices in other cities including New York, the San Francisco Bay Area, St. Louis, Atlanta, Philadelphia and other locations. 

This is a unique opportunity to reinvent user experiences within an important part of the bitcoin ecosystem. You can learn more about what we’re building through our newsletter here.

• Collaborate to design the product roadmap, completing market, competitor and customer research to map unmet customer needs and prioritize solutions that help bitcoin miners and developers succeed

• Understand our customers' pain points and needs through qualitative and quantitative research (surveys, interviews, and product usage) 
• Ensure that the voice of the customer is always represented in every customer product and marketing experience
• Collaborate with product managers, engineers, designers, data scientists, and other team leads to identify impactful product opportunities, prioritize efforts and share insights on the bitcoin mining market
• Review competitive offerings and promote ongoing differentiation in our marketing and products
• Help identify potential industry partnerships that unlock the delivery of new products to market, providing diligence on options that allow the delivery of the best fit products to miners
• Own the metrics - be comfortable tracking and reporting out on goals, measuring performance, and identifying optimisation opportunities
• Contribute to the creation of a holistic approach to sales training and enablement, onboarding, and ongoing customer engagement
• Work with designers and copywriters to develop compelling and unique marketing collateral across channels
