Partly's mission is to connect the world's parts and we're doing that by building the first global platform for replacement parts, starting with auto parts. Our big vision is to accelerate the world towards a sustainable future where waste is eliminated and all replacement parts are universally searchable, accessible and available to all.
Founded by ex-Rocket Lab engineers, we utilise cutting-edge technology to solve challenging but exciting problems that make a huge impact in a $1.9 trillion industry. We've more than tripled our team over the last 12 months and expect to double in size again over the coming 12 months. We're a global team spanning both Europe and Australasia.
We provide a scalable digital infrastructure solution to some of the world's largest businesses and the most exciting startups. Partly's solutions are integrated across hundreds of companies globally, providing the backbone for cataloguing and managing parts online.
Our investors in Blackbird Ventures (Canva, CultureAmp etc.), Square Peg, Octopus Ventures, Icehouse, Peter Beck (Rocket Lab), Akshay Kothari (Notion Co-Founder) and Dylan Field (Figma Co-Founder).
We're continuing to build a world-class team and ensuring Partly is a place where people can do the best work of their lives. We're proud of the culture we've built at Partly, and our values are lived throughout every experience.
We are looking for a Director / Head of Product Marketing to build Partly’s product marketing function from the ground up.
This is a senior, hands-on builder role for someone who knows how to take a complex B2B platform and make it commercially legible. You will define how our products, rails, and value propositions are understood by buyers, partners, and internal teams — and make sure launches, collateral, and GTM materials are sharp, credible, and repeatable.
This role sits at the intersection of product, sales, and strategy. You will work deeply with Product and Engineering to understand what we are building, then translate that into clear segmentation, ICPs, buyer journeys, value propositions, and launch plans. You will work closely with Enterprise Sales, Expansion, and regional teams so that what the market hears is consistent, true, and useful.
You are not here to run campaigns. You are here to build the engine that explains the company.
This is a role for a hands on builder in a high pace environment.
Own Partly’s product marketing function across core rails, products, and key ICPs
Define segmentation, personas, use cases, and buyer journeys across enterprise demand generators and rails users
Translate company strategy and product roadmap into clear GTM definitions that sales, expansion, and growth teams can actually use
Clarify what each product or rail is, who it is for, what problem it solves, and how it creates value
Own and evolve Partly’s value framework across:
Selection
Convenience
Information
Value
Auditability
Define how each dimension shows up by product, segment, and customer type
Build value narratives, proof points, ROI logic, and outcome stories grounded in real customer evidence
Work with Ops, CS, and commercial teams to turn operational outcomes into defensible customer proof
Build and maintain the core assets that sales and expansion teams need:
narrative decks
one-pagers
use-case materials
launch toolkits
case studies
value proof
Reduce bespoke sales storytelling by standardising what “good” looks like
Help ensure enterprise conversations start with clarity, not re-education
Own launch readiness from a market perspective
Ensure launches are externally coherent, internally understood, and commercially usable
Work with Product to convert technical capability into buyer-relevant language without over-promising
Support product rollouts across new markets, new segments, and new rails
Act as the connective tissue between Product, Marketing, Sales, and Strategy
Bring customer, buyer, and market insight back into proposition design and roadmap discussions
Help shape pricing, packaging, and proposition logic in partnership with leadership
Establish the first durable product marketing operating rhythm for the business

Experience in senior product marketing roles in complex B2B SaaS, infrastructure, platform, or marketplace businesses
Track record translating multi-product or multi-stakeholder platforms into clear, commercially effective GTM narratives
Experience building ICPs, segmentation, positioning, launches, and sales enablement in growing organisations
Strong partnership with Product and Engineering teams
Experience supporting enterprise or long-cycle sales motions
