Product Marketing Manager, Bitcoin Mining

Block is one company built from many blocks, all united by the same purpose of economic empowerment. The blocks that form our foundational teams — People, Finance, Counsel, Hardware, Information Security, Platform Infrastructure Engineering, and more — provide support and guidance at the corporate level. They work across business groups and around the globe, spanning time zones and disciplines to develop inclusive People policies, forecast finances, give legal counsel, safeguard systems, nurture new initiatives, and more. Every challenge creates possibilities, and we need different perspectives to see them all. Bring yours to Block.

We are looking for a product marketer who can bring analytical thinking, structure, and stakeholder management to the process of bringing Block’s bitcoin mining products to market. You will partner with our product, engineering, operations and go-to-market teams to grow our portfolio of bitcoin mining products. Based on deep, ongoing customer discovery and market insights, you’ll represent the customer voice to influence product strategy and develop the product positioning, messaging and channel strategy to drive key outcomes.

We’re a startup team and an entirely new brand called Proto (proto.xyz) within Block’s established Hardware team. The Proto team is on a mission to decentralize bitcoin mining and increase access to tools for builders in the Bitcoin mining industry, regardless of their size or location. We believe the best way to create a stronger, more robust Bitcoin network is by improving access to best-in-class semiconductor solutions, hardware, and software that serve the needs of small, medium, and large industrial miners, and developers. You’ll have the autonomy and speed of working in a small team, with the support of the larger ecosystem of Block. Beyond the Hardware team, you’ll be connected to the wider product marketing community from other parts of the company — Cash App, Spiral, and TBD and TIDAL — so you’ll have a chance to lean on experienced product marketers as sounding boards and have autonomy.
