The Opportunity

commercetools is seeking a Senior Technical Product Marketing Manager to lead the positioning, messaging, and go-to-market strategy for the commercetools Platform (the foundation and technical backbone of all our offerings), as well as related add-on products (Payment Hub and AI Hub) and ecosystem enablers (Agent Gateway, integrations and connectors).

You will work closely with Product and Engineering on AI-powered capabilities, including large language models (LLMs), agentic systems, model orchestration, and AI platform integrations.

Working closely with Product, Engineering, and GTM leadership, youll shape how we bring innovation to life across our portfolio.

Your Impact

As our Senior Technical Product Marketing Manager, youll support the Product Marketing team by leading cohesive narratives and go-to-market strategies across the commercetools Platform, add-on capabilities, and ecosystem enablers, highlighting business and technical value for multiple audiences.

You will:

• Champion the commercetools Platform, refining its differentiated positioning to drive awareness, adoption, and revenue growth
• Lead messaging and GTM for add-on capabilities across the Platform, Payment Hub, AI Hub, Agent Gateway, integrations, and connectors, ensuring cohesive narratives that highlight business and technical value
• Articulate and evangelize the vision of agentic commerce, helping customers and partners understand how emerging AI concepts and autonomous agents are transforming the future of digital commerce
• Translate complex AI platform concepts, including LLMs, agent orchestration, MCP/ACP-style protocols, model routing, tool invocation, and API-driven orchestration, into clear, differentiated value propositions for technical and business audiences
• Develop a deep understanding of our customers, partners, and developer audiences, uncovering insights that inform messaging, content, and product direction
• Own joint value propositions with strategic partners (Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, AWS, MongoDB, and others) to amplify our technical credibility and ecosystem advantage
• Drive joint value propositions with technology partners (Microsoft, OpenAI) and ISVs
• Partner with Product and Engineering to shape launch strategies for new platform capabilities, integrations, and AI-powered features, understanding architectural trade-offs, constraints, and real-world implementation considerations
• Drive adoption and enablement through clear, technically grounded content from sales collateral and demos to customer stories and industry thought leadership
• Partner across GTM, Product, and Marketing teams to align on strategic priorities, messaging, and launch plans that elevate commercetools market leadership
• Identify market opportunities through an understanding of industry, customer, and competitive trends

This role is hybrid, with three days a week spent in our Boston or Durham office.
