What are the responsibilities and job description for the Product Marketing Manager position at Leatherman Tool Brand?
Product Marketing Manager | Lead GTM & Bring Leatherman Products to Life
Leatherman Tool Group – Portland, Oregon (On-site)
At Leatherman, we don’t just build tools — we build products people rely on in the moments that matter.
We’re in an exciting phase of rebuilding and strengthening our Product Management & Marketing engine, and we’re looking for a Product Marketing Manager who wants to help shape how we bring products to market.
If you’re a strategic thinker, strong storyteller, and highly collaborative partner who thrives in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment — this could be your next move.
What You’ll Own
As our Product Marketing Manager, you’ll sit at the center of Product, Brand, Marketing, and Sales — turning strategy into compelling stories that drive results.
You will:
- Own go-to-market (GTM) strategy and product positioning for key product lines
- Bring products to life through clear, compelling storytelling that resonates with consumers
- Lead development of marketing briefs, product naming, and launch narratives
- Create impactful sales enablement tools (training, decks, product storytelling)
- Partner cross-functionally to ensure alignment from concept to commercialization
- Contribute to consumer insights, competitive analysis, and portfolio strategy
- Help build and evolve how we take products to market
What Makes This Role Different
This is not a “stay in your lane” marketing role.
You will:
- Work deeply cross-functionally — no silos here
- Have ownership and accountability for results
- Help rebuild and shape our GTM playbook
- Influence how our products show up in the market
- Be part of a team that values curiosity, collaboration, and continuous improvement
What You Bring
- 5 years of experience in product marketing, brand marketing, or similar roles
- Proven experience owning GTM strategy, positioning, and product launches
- Strong ability to translate products into compelling consumer stories
- Experience in consumer products (preferred: outdoor, athletic, or hardgoods brands)
- A highly collaborative mindset — you work with teams, not around them
- Strong communication, organization, and execution skills
- A growth mindset, curiosity, and a willingness to challenge and improve how things are done
- Position is onsite with an occasional remote day depending on business need.
- Travel is required 5-10% of the time, including international.
Not the Right Fit If You:
- Prefer to work independently in a silo
- Come exclusively from tech/SaaS environments
- Are not comfortable with cross-functional partnership and accountability
Bonus If You Have
- Experience in outdoor, lifestyle, or performance brands
- Background in hardgoods or textile products
- A strong point of view — balanced with openness and adaptability
Why Leatherman?
You’ll join a company known for craftsmanship, innovation, and purpose-driven products — and a team that’s actively evolving how we bring those products to life in the market.
