Marketing Manager IV

RESPONSIBILITIES:
A client with Kforce is seeking a Marketing Manager IV to join their team in San Diego, CA.

Summary:
As the Industry Solutions PMM team scales its portfolio and executes against an aggressive launch calendar, we're looking for an experienced, versatile Product Marketing Manager to serve as a utility player across the team - flexing into whichever vertical, campaign, or launch needs an extra set of expert hands. This role isn't owned by a single industry. You'll move fluidly across verticals and workstreams, partnering with vertical pod leads, sales enablement, and cross-functional stakeholders to keep GTM execution moving across the entire portfolio.

What You'll Do:
* Plug into active workstreams across Construction, Nonprofit, Franchise, Field Service, and Manufacturing, Healthcare, Professional Services as team capacity and priorities shift
* Partner with vertical PMM pod owners to pick up campaign, launch, or content workstreams with minimal ramp time
* Act as a force multiplier during high-intensity periods - major launches, event cycles (e.g., the client's Connect), and planning windows
* Build GTM assets - positioning, messaging, JTBD frameworks, sales enablement content, demo narratives, and campaign copy - using the team's established frameworks and playbooks
* Support event and field marketing moments with vertical-specific content: booth copy, demo outlines, and sales-facing proof points
* Contribute to always-on workstreams such as competitive intelligence and analyst relations support as needed
* Apply the team's GTM frameworks and naming/messaging standards consistently across verticals

REQUIREMENTS:
* Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Business, Communications, or a related field required
* MBA or other advanced degree is a plus
* 8+ years of experience in product marketing or go-to-market roles
* Proven ability to work across multiple product lines, verticals, or workstreams simultaneously - comfortable context-switching without sacrificing quality
* Experience at a company that has gone through "verticalization" - building industry-specific go-to-market motions on top of a horizontal platform; no specific industry background required
* Strong independent execution - able to take a brief and produce polished, launch-ready GTM assets with minimal oversight
* Sharp written and verbal communication skills, with comfort operating in ambiguity and picking up new subject matter quickly
* A collaborative, roll-up-your-sleeves mindset - equally comfortable executing tactical work and contributing to strategic frameworks

Nice to Have:
* Prior experience in Construction, Nonprofit, Franchise, Field Service, and Manufacturing, Healthcare, Professional Services
* Familiarity with mid-market ERP, accounting, or vertical SaaS platforms
