What are the responsibilities and job description for the Product Marketing Manager position at groundcover?
We’re not here to blend in — we’re here to change how observability works.
groundcover has built a radically different approach to cloud-native observability that competitors can’t match. As part of our marketing team, you won’t just promote a product - you’ll help reshape the narrative of the entire category so engineering and operations teams see Groundcover as the clear choice.
About Us
We’re a fast-growing Series B startup delivering the most modern observability platform for cloud-native environments. Unlike traditional tools that are brittle, costly, and complex, our solution is lightweight, instantly deployable, and built for today’s AI-driven, developer-first world.
We’re not chasing the category leaders — we’re redefining the category. As our Product Marketing Manager, you’ll play a critical role in building and executing a go-to-market (GTM) strategy that challenges industry norms and outpaces legacy players like Datadog and Dynatrace.
This is a hybrid position with 4 days a week from office in San Francisco
