Senior Product Marketing Manager
Top focus
Organizations everywhere struggle under the crushing costs and complexities of “solutions” that promise to simplify their lives. To create a better experience for their customers and employees. To help them grow. Software is a choice that can make or break a business.

With a fresh vision for how the world works. Freshworks Inc. builds uncomplicated service software that delivers exceptional employee and customer experiences.

Fresh vision. Real impact. Come build it with us. Freshworks is looking for a Senior Product Marketing Manager to own the go-to-market strategy and narrative for our core service management products (Freshservice and Freshservice for Business Teams).
