## **About UR** UR is a borderless smart money app that makes it easy to spend and off-ramp, all in one place. Built for both crypto natives and the crypto curious, UR simplifies the way people and businesses move between digital assets and fiat currencies. Self-custodial, fast, and intuitive, UR turns complex crypto workflows into a seamless everyday experience. As **Senior Product Marketing Manager** at UR, you will sit at the intersection of product, growth, and revenue, shaping how we take our borderless banking and crypto-fiat payment products to market. UR is building a global, on-chain banking network — cards, accounts, stablecoin rails, and real-world usage for the underbanked and global-first users. This role is about turning complex infrastructure into clear value, driving adoption. This role is expected to own strategy and execute, work shoulder-to-shoulder with Product, BD, and Ops, and materially improve how we launch, position, and scale UR. ## Key Responsibilities 1. **Product Market Action Plan - GTM & Adoption** * Own end-to-end GTM strategy for UR’s core products (accounts, cards, on/off-ramps, stablecoin flows, regional launches). * Translate product roadmaps into clear campaign narratives, goals, and execution plans. * Partner closely with Product, Growth, BD, and Ops to align on launch readiness, sequencing, and success metrics. * Build and maintain a forward-looking launch calendar to ensure cross-functional clarity. * Track launch performance (adoption, activation, usage, funnel conversion) and feed insights back into product and growth. * Create scalable GTM playbooks that support product lifecycle marketing as UR expands across regions and use cases. 2. **Commercial & BD Enablement** * Develop high-impact enablement assets for BD, partnerships, and growth: * Pitch decks, one-pagers, demo scripts, battle cards, objection handling, use-case briefs. * Ensure consistent positioning and messaging across all commercial touchpoints. * Run regular enablement sessions to improve pitch quality, product fluency, and confidence. * Gather feedback from BD and partners to continuously refine messaging and materials. 3. **Positioning & Messaging** * Own UR’s product positioning, value propositions, and messaging pillars, grounded in real user needs. * Segment messaging clearly across: * Regions (SEA, LATAM, Africa, etc.) * User types (freelancers, creators, merchants, crypto-native users) * Use cases (payments, savings, remittance, daily spend) * Partner with Brand & Content to ensure UR’s narrative is consistent, credible, and differentiated. * Support external-facing content including website messaging, launch pages, demos, webinars, and campaigns. 4. **Customer Advocacy & Insights** * Conduct regular customer interviews, win/loss reviews, and usage analysis. * Turn insights into sharper positioning, clearer GTM strategies, and better product feedback loops. * Identify proof points and ROI metrics to develop: * Testimonials * Case studies * Partner success stories * Work with Customer Ops and Growth to source reference customers and real usage data. * Act as a customer advocate in product planning and prioritization discussions. 5. **Market & Competitive Intelligence** * Stay ahead of trends across fintech, neobanking, payments, stablecoins, and Web3. * Build and maintain competitive frameworks to inform positioning and BD strategy. * Clearly articulate why UR wins — not in theory, but in practice. * Serve as a subject-matter expert for product-market fit, advising leadership, product managers, and GTM teams. ## What We’re Looking For * Strong experience in fintech, payments, crypto, or stablecoin-based products. * Proven GTM ownership for complex, infrastructure-heavy products. * Excellent written and verbal communication — clear, sharp, and grounded. * Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally with Product, Growth, BD, and Ops. * Deep customer empathy, with hands-on experience translating insights into strategy. * Strong market awareness across Web2 fintech and Web3 rails. * Structured thinker with bias for execution — you ship, you iterate, you improve. ## What Success Looks Like You’ll know you’re winning when: * **Adoption improves:** launches lead to real usage, not just announcements. * **BD closes faster:** clearer narratives, stronger confidence, fewer “what does UR actually do?” moments. * **Messaging sticks:** internal teams consistently use the same language — and customers get it. * **Customer proof compounds:** a growing library of testimonials and case studies tied to real outcomes. * **Launches feel boring (in a good way):** predictable, aligned, and execution-tight.
