About Slick

Slick is the appointment and payment software that salon owners actually love. Born from Founders Factory and built in collaboration with LOréal, were changing how hair and beauty businesses manage bookings, payments, stock, and the admin that gets in the way of creativity.

Were growing fast across the US and UK, and were at that exciting moment where product excellence meets market demand. This is where you come in.

Note: We're looking for candidates based in or able to work Eastern Time hours. This role partners closely with our UK team, and Eastern Time overlap is essential for effective collaboration.

The Opportunity

Were looking for an AI-enabled Product Marketing Manager to own the growth narrative for Slick in two thriving markets. Youll sit in the Beauty BU and report directly to our Head of Marketing, working alongside a fast-paced, ambitious team thats already redefining how salon owners think about tech.

The beauty and self-care market is heating upnew competitors, shifting customer expectations, and a huge untapped opportunity for the right platform. Youll shape how Slick gets positioned against alternatives, build GTM narratives that resonate with salon owners and barbers, and help the product team understand what customers really care about.

What Youll Own

Youll be the voice of the market inside Slick and the voice of Slick in the market. That means:

• Drive competitive positioning and messaging strategy across UK and US markets, tailoring go-to-market narratives for different segments (creative salon owners vs. business-minded, hair stylists vs. barbers, solos vs. large salons)
• Own product launches, feature positioning, and customer educationfrom internal kickoff to market release
• Own customer adoption from day one, then again with every major feature and product launchmaking sure customers understand the value and know how to get the most out of what's new
• Drive expansion revenue by helping our customer base discover and adopt new features and add-ons that solve deeper problems and unlock more value from Slick
• Lead product-led growth strategy with the broader marketing teama critical lever for scaling into the solo stylist and independent operator segment where PLG is our biggest advantage
• Research the market constantly: whats changing, where are the gaps, what are salon owners actually frustrated by, what are competitors doing/not doing
• Collaborate with product and design on roadmap prioritiesbeing the customer voice in the room
• Build marketing assets and campaigns that drive awareness and conversions (landing pages, case studies, email campaigns, social, video)
• Support the sales team with battlecards, ROI frameworks, and proof points that close deals
• Drive expansion revenue by helping our customer base discover and adopt new features and add-ons that solve deeper problems and unlock more value from Slick
• Own product video production for AI discoverabilityquestion-shaped content (screen recordings, walkthroughs) built for AI answer engines. Low production, high search intent: "how to sell packages in your salon" beats "introducing packages"

About You

• Appointments or scheduling software
• Payments or fintech

Beyond that, what matters:

• You can write. Messaging frameworks, positioning docs, case studiestheyre sharp and persuasive
• Youre genuinely curious about customers. Youll run interviews, dig into data, talk to salon owners, not just sit in Slack
• You embrace ambiguity. Youre comfortable in a fast-moving environment where youll sometimes be inventing the playbook as you go
• Youre collaborative. Product marketers bridge a lot of teamsyou need to influence without authority, stay calm under pressure, and keep everyone rowing in the same direction
• You're fluent with PMM tools. Analytics platforms (Mixpanel, etc.), customer comms tools (Intercom), data visualization tools (Tableau, Metabase)you know how to pull signals from the noise and turn them into messaging that lands
• You move fast with AI tooling. NotebookLM, Claude Cowork, etc.you use these to research faster, synthesize smarter, and ship more. You don't need to be an expert day one, but you're genuinely excited about what they unlock.

Why Youll Love This

Youll have room to move fast. Product marketing at Slick isnt a gatekeeping function; its a growth lever. Your ideas will shape strategy, and youll see them live in the market.

The market is exciting, and theres a genuine appetite for better software. Youll be marketing into momentum, not creating it from scratch. Plus, we have a mature product and rich customer datathere are clear wins waiting for a sharp PMM to uncover.
