Product Growth Marketing Manager, Lifecycle

About KidKare The people who care for and feed children every day have enough on their plates. Their software shouldn't add to it.

For more than 30 years, KidKare has built technology for the people behind childcare and child nutrition, helping them spend less time on paperwork, compliance, and administrative work and more time focused on the children and communities they serve.

Our roots run deep in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), a federal nutrition program that helps provide healthy meals and snacks to children and adults across the country. Today, we're building on that expertise with a growing ecosystem of software supporting childcare organizations across food program compliance, business management, professional development, and licensing.

We're growing into new products, new markets, and have a much bigger vision for what KidKare can do for the childcare community. To support these goals, we're looking for a Product Growth Marketing Manager, Lifecycle & GTM Systems to build and run the engine that turns our product value into pipeline, adoption, and revenue.

Position Summary This is an

execution-first growth

role.

You'll partner with Product and Revenue Operations leadership to define the positioning and value proposition for each product, then put them to work: translating individual product propositions and features into audience-specific messaging and deploying that messaging through various tactics. You’ll be involved in managing the CRM, data enrichment, prospect scoring, routing, & lifecycle marketing. You'll report to our VP of Revenue Operations and work across Product, Sales, and Customer Growth to turn every launch and feature release into measurable pipeline, adoption, and expansion.

In a given week you might ship a new CRM workflow, tune a fit-and-intent scoring model, launch a demand-gen test to a newly enriched segment, build an app telemtry guide for a feature release, fix a routing rule that's sending leads to the wrong queue, or walk leadership through what moved in the funnel and why.

You'll build the machine, and you'll run it.

You'll partner closely with our Digital Marketing Manager, who owns brand, creative, content, and channel execution. You'll own the systems, segmentation, lifecycle logic, experiment design, and measurement that make that work reach the right audience at the right moment. Together, you'll turn product and market insight into demand.

Primary Responsibilities Positioning, Feature Messaging & Launch Execution

Partner with product leadership to define and refine positioning and value propositions for each product and major release, grounded in customer, competitive, and market insight.

Translate individual product features and releases into audience-specific messaging (the value, the proof, and the call to action) for each persona and segment we serve, carrying positioning down to the feature level.

Execute launches through the systems you manage: target segments, lifecycle and nurture workflows, in-app guides, sales sequences and snippets, with launch tiers matched to the size of the release.

Package features into the battlecards, talk tracks, and objection handling our Sales and Customer Growth teams need, delivered inside CRM where reps actually work.

CRM Management & GTM Systems

Manage the CRM as the system of record for marketing and lifecycle: data model, custom properties, lifecycle stages, lead status, lists and segments, forms, and workflow automation.

Maintain CRM data quality and governance, including deduplication, field standards, consistent deal stages across pipelines, and clear documentation, so Sales, Customer Growth, and leadership trust the data.

Orchestrate the GTM stack (CRM, app telemtry, data enrichment, and automation tools) so product, marketing, and sales data flow cleanly between systems.

Enrichment, AI Scoring & Routing

Build and maintain enrichment workflows that close firmographic, contact, and segment data gaps, including vertical-specific sources relating to childcare, education, and food program participation data.

Design, deploy, and continuously tune fit, intent, and product-usage scoring models, using AI and predictive approaches where they outperform rules-based logic.

Own lead and account routing rules, handoff SLAs, and alerts to Sales and Customer Growth, and monitor speed-to-lead and conversion by route.

Demand Generation Experiments

Run a structured demand-gen experimentation program: define the hypothesis, audience, channel, offer, success metric, and decision rule before launch, then scale or move to the next experiment based on results.

Build and execute campaigns, nurture tracks, and outbound sequences against enriched, scored segments, partnering with the Digital Marketi
