What are the responsibilities and job description for the Product Marketing Manager position at chowbus?
Chowbus is a leading AI-powered restaurant technology SaaS platform with deep roots in the North American market. We support thousands of restaurants of every size across the U.S. and Canada, with technology solutions spanning POS, AI, and digital tools that help restaurants run more efficiently and grow their business.

We are looking for a Product Marketing Manager to lead positioning, lifecycle marketing, and content for Chowbus's POS, software, financial services, and AI products. You'll translate product features into clear, benefit-driven messaging that restaurant owners understand, guide customers through their lifecycle, and create content that supports Sales and retention.
This is a hybrid role based in our Chicago office.
