What you’ll be doing…

At Verizon Connect, maximizing customer retention, expansion, and lifetime value begins with ensuring customers realize continuous, tangible value from our platform. We are seeking a strategic, data-driven Senior Marketing Manager focused on Product Engagement to own and lead our product adoption and feature utilization strategy across the customer lifecycle.

As a senior individual contributor working at the nexus of Customer Marketing, Product Management, UX, Customer Experience, and Customer Success, you will be responsible for turning product capabilities into active customer habits. You will define and execute connected engagement strategies leveraging in-product experiences (walkthroughs, guides, contextual nudges) as your primary engine, tightly integrated with triggered out-of-product communications (email alerts, CS enablement) to drive onboarding activation, deepen feature usage, reduce friction, and accelerate time-to-value.

This role demands a balance of product-led growth strategy and hands-on operational rigor. You will serve as the team’s resident Subject Matter Expert on digital adoption platforms using behavioral telemetry, feature usage data, and experimentation to build seamless product experiences that reinforce customer success.

• Define, own, and execute the comprehensive Product Engagement Marketing strategy focused on accelerating feature adoption, deepening platform utilization, and driving ongoing user stickiness.
• Partner with Product Management and Product Marketing to translate product roadmaps, releases, and updates into targeted engagement campaigns that guide users to key "aha!" moments.
• Identify usage drop-off points, behavioral friction, and adoption barriers, designing proactive in-app and out-of-product interventions to increase usage depth
• Serve as the Marketing SME and primary owner of in-product engagement platforms (e.g., Pendo), overseeing guide architecture, banners, resource centers, and tool tips.
• Design, build, deploy, and maintain targeted in-product guides and contextual walkthroughs that educate users within their active workflows without adding interface clutter.
• Establish in-product communication governance, priority matrices, and frequency capping rules in close partnership with Product and UX to safeguard the overall user experience.
• Architect connected, behavior-triggered out-of-product touchpoints (e.g., milestone celebration emails, dormant feature re-activation sequences, tip digests) that guide users back into the software.
• Partner with Marketing and Operations to integrate product behavioral triggers into marketing automation systems (e.g., Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Marketo).
• Define, monitor, and report on core product engagement KPIs: Feature Adoption Rates, Time-to-First-Use, Product Stickiness (DAU/MAU ratios), Guide Conversion, and In-App Drop-Off.
• Establish a disciplined test-and-learn program using A/B testing across copy, formatting, behavioral targeting, and delivery timing to continually increase engagement efficacy.
• Synthesize product analytics and feedback loops into actionable recommendations for Product, UX, and Marketing leadership.

What we’re looking for…

You’ll need to have…

• Bachelor's degree or four or more years of work experience.
• Six or more years of relevant experience required, demonstrated through one or a combination of work and/or military experience, or specialized training.
• Six or more years of progressive experience in B2B SaaS marketing, specializing in product engagement marketing, in-product marketing, product-led growth (PLG), customer marketing, or lifecycle marketing.
• Hands-on experience with digital adoption / in-product platforms including guide creation, tagging, analytics, and segment building.
• Experience designing programs that measurably increase product adoption, feature usage, and user retention.
• Experience using product usage data and behavioral analytics to segment audiences and trigger targeted communications.
• Experience collaborating seamlessly across Product Management, UX, Product Marketing, Customer Success, and Marketing Operations.
• Strong knowledge of SaaS retention dynamics and how early feature adoption directly mitigates long-term churn.
• Experience distilling complex software workflows into concise, intuitive micro-copy and user guidance.

Even better if you have one or more of the following:

• Experience in Pendo, Gainsight PX, or similar.
• Experience in fleet management, telematics, IoT, or complex multi-persona enterprise B2B SaaS environments.
• Proficiency with marketing automation platforms (Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Marketo) and product analytics tools (Pendo Analytics).
• Experience establishing in-product governance frameworks across multi-application ecosystems.
• Excellent written communication skills.
