I've been working in product marketing for a few years now, mostly as an independent contractor. I want to start working in a more established setting with teams since I'm trying to sharpen my cross-functional skills. What kind of role helps you work with sales, product development, and design teams closely?

My job is pretty much what you explained. As a PMM, you're constantly in talks with these teams and you're the bridge between product, sales, and marketing, managing go-to-market strategies, launching new products, collaborating on messaging, and supporting sales enablement. If hands-on cross-functional collaboration is your goal, target PMM or senior PMM positions

I'm two thirds through the PMA Core Certification, and the info is great but the tests are a joke. They need to contract with an educator that specializes in testing and assessment to come in and develop exams that actually measure if you know the material. The bad test design devalues the certification. Not to zero, but I definitely will not be proud to have earned it. It just means I had $1300 and sat through 15 hours of video lectures.
