Join the team as Twilio’s next Director, Product Marketing.

About the job

This position is needed to support Twilio's Messaging and Email businesses, two of our most established and highest-impact product lines serving customers who depend on reliable, scalable communications infrastructure to reach billions of people globally.

As Director of Product Marketing, you'll lead a team of PMMs to define how we tell the story of trusted digital interactions in a rapidly evolving market. Twilio envisions a world in which every digital interaction is amazing, and our Messaging and Email platforms are foundational to delivering on that vision – enabling both self-service and enterprise customers to build any experience without the complexity.

This role requires someone who can look beyond their immediate domain to connect narratives across Twilio's platform, identify emerging market opportunities, and translate complex technical capabilities into compelling positioning that resonates with developers, product leaders, and C-suite buyers. You'll be a key strategic partner to R&D and Marketing leadership, influencing not just what we build, but how the market understands its value.

Responsibilities

In this role, you’ll:

• Lead a high-performing team of product marketing managers across Messaging and Email, fostering a culture of excellence, collaboration, and growth. Provide career coaching and create pathways for your team's advancement.
• Shape and own the narrative for Twilio's Messaging and Email businesses—building positioning frameworks that connect product innovation to market trends, customer needs, and business outcomes. Your storytelling will influence sales conversations, analyst briefings, customer presentations, and executive communications.
• Partner deeply with R&D leadership to influence roadmap prioritization, align on positioning early in the product development cycle, and establish repeatable rituals for customer validation and market storytelling.
• Drive integrated go-to-market programs across self-service and enterprise segments, partnering with Corporate Communications (AR, PR, social), Campaigns, and GTM Enablement to amplify the messaging narrative, generate demand, and drive product adoption at scale.
• Drive meaningful product launches through Twilio's PDLC—ensuring releases are positioned strategically, supported with customer proof points, and integrated into broader go-to-market motions.
• Look across the business to identify where Messaging and Email intersect with broader platform capabilities and build compelling narratives that elevate how customers understand the full power of Twilio's communications infrastructure.
