Job Description
We’re looking for a collaborative and analytical Product Marketing Manager to join the marketing team at Tailscale. You will work closely with product, marketing, and especially sales to identify customer needs, pain points, and articulate “Why Tailscale?” and then turn these insights into content and collateral for us to go-to-market with. This role might be perfect for you if you are familiar with networking infrastructure, or enterprise security needs, and can communicate technical features as easy-to-digest benefits. If you love highly cross-functional work and want to help a growing sales and revenue team succeed, read on.
Because we’re an early-stage and fully remote company, we’re looking for a motivated individual who is comfortable working asynchronously, thrives in ambiguity and has a focus on getting it right, not being right.

- Performing competitive and market analysis to inform messaging and campaigns, and influence product strategy
- Helping drive meaningful sales pipeline
What We Are Looking For
- At least 5+ years of experience in product marketing, working with sales teams, and sales enablement
- A proven track record in marketing, product marketing, sales enablement, product management, or a related field with a minimum of 5+ years of direct experience
- An affinity for complex, highly technical subjects
- Experience managing interdependent, complex projects and keeping multiple work streams on track
- An analytical and data-driven mindset with an enthusiasm for problem-solving and measuring the effectiveness of your work
- The ability to quickly adapt and react to changing plans and ambiguity.
- Excellent people skills - this role will interact with many cross-functional teams and the ability to communicate and negotiate effectively will be critical to the success of this role
- A bias toward action, execution, and iteration
Nice to Have
- Start up experience
- Experience with networking or security products used in SaaS or cloud environments
- Experience using Tailscale

Verify Employer Thoroughly
Research the company's identity thoroughly before applying. Check for a professional website with contacts, active social media, and LinkedIn profiles. Verify details across platforms and look for reviews on Glassdoor or Trustpilot to confirm legitimacy.
Never Pay to Get a Job
Legitimate employers never require payment for applications, training, background checks, or equipment. Always reject upfront payment requests or demands for bank details, even if they claim it's for purchasing necessary work gear on your behalf.
Safeguard Your Personal Information
Protect sensitive data like SSN, bank details, or ID copies. Share this only after accepting a formal, written job offer. Ensure it's submitted via a secure company system or portal, never through insecure channels like standard email attachments.
Scrutinize Communication & Interviews
Watch for communication red flags: poor grammar, generic emails (@gmail), vague details, or undue pressure. Be highly suspicious of interviews held only via text or chat apps; legitimate companies typically use video or phone calls.
Beware of Unrealistic Offers
If an offer's salary or benefits seem unrealistically high for the work involved, be cautious. Research standard pay for similar roles. Offers that appear 'too good to be true' are often scams designed to lure you into providing information or payment.
Insist on a Formal Contract
Always secure and review a formal, written job offer or employment contract before starting work or sharing final personal details. Ensure it clearly defines your role, compensation, key terms, and conditions to avoid misunderstandings or scams.
