One that trusts me and gives me autonomy to do my work. Things may not go as planned sometimes but a manager who recognizes that failures are part and parcel of the roadmap to success is so important and valuable in my career growth.

My current company!

I don’t think I ever truly had one - there was always something up (along the fast, good, cheap principle that you can only have two). Favorite scenario was where in a oversized team of 14, the three of us who had stepped up to “own” the three portfolios that the team covered actually drove our director to promote us to senior PMMs and let us lead our teams. Working that closely with peers made for an amazing working environment, even if it required a useless boss to do it

What’s your work-life balance like? I feel like I’m constantly working after hours, always balancing multiple projects, hardly ever going through a phase where there isn’t a ton of critical initiatives going on. It definitely wasn’t like this when I was a more junior PMM, but as a Senior PMM, my work-life balance has severely decreased. Is this just the nature of Product Marketing? Or can I actually find a senior PMM role that allows a bit more room to breathe?

As a company scales, coordinating cross-functionally and across time zones is becoming increasingly challenging so we have identified that we need frameworks or tools to help us go-to-market in a less clumsy, more coordinated fashion.
