What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Product Marketing Manager position at Corsair?
Overview
We are looking for a Senior Product Marketing Manager to own the go-to-market engine and contribute to the product strategy inputs that fuel it. This is a hybrid role that blends the best of product marketing and product management. You will drive GTM execution while also sitting close to the product roadmap, contributing market intelligence, competitive analysis, and structured product requirements that shape what we build next.
You will be the connective tissue between product, creative, PR, e-commerce, and retail — translating hardware innovation into compelling stories and winning launch strategies that resonate with competitive players, press, and partners. Equally, you will bring the outside in: synthesizing market trends, player feedback, and competitive dynamics into MRDs and PRDs that help our product team make better decisions.
The ideal candidate has a proven track record of launching consumer electronics or gaming hardware products end-to-end, ideally in the gaming peripherals or accessories space, and has experience contributing to or owning product roadmap development. You understand what it takes to win with a performance-driven audience and can operate fluidly at the intersection of marketing strategy and product thinking. You are highly organized, a sharp communicator, and thrive when managing multiple priorities simultaneously without losing detail or momentum.

Go-to-Market Strategy & New Product Launches

- Own product naming across NPIs and design variants, ensuring consistency with brand architecture
- Manage global product launches and develop localized GTM strategies for key international markets, including market analysis, messaging adaptation, and regional activation planning
- Develop product education content including quick-start guides, reviewer guides, how-to content, and FAQs that reduce friction and drive customer confidence
E-Commerce Marketing & Retail Presence
- Collaborate cross-functionally to develop strategy and execution of direct-to-consumer and channel marketing across key retail and e-commerce partners, elevating content quality and brand representation
- Proactively partner with channel teams to anticipate needs, improve merchandising standards, and push for content optimization and A/B testing
Qualifications
Education & Experience
- Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Communications, Business, or equivalent experience
- 6–8 years of combined product marketing and product management experience, with a strong track record of owning GTM strategy and contributing to product roadmap development

- Demonstrated experience launching consumer electronics or gaming hardware products — gaming peripherals, accessories, or controllers strongly preferred — with ownership across messaging, creative, packaging, and channel
- Experience marketing to a performance-driven or enthusiast consumer audience (esports, competitive gaming, or similar communities a strong plus)
- Experience managing PR agency relationships and building structured media and reviewer programs
- Track record of leading cross-functional product launches across retail, direct-to-consumer, and channel environments
- Familiarity with customization or build-to-order product lines is a plus
