About the opportunity

The Product Team at Contentful is growing at a rapid pace, and we’re looking for a Principal Product Manager to take ownership of our Growth initiatives. You’ll influence key customer acquisition activities across Contentful in close collaboration with the Marketing, Demand Generation and the Data teams. You’ll lead and help to define a variety of activities including identifying new opportunities, evaluating and creating business cases for those opportunities, experimenting, and working with the team to realise those opportunities as software solutions and revenue optimisation.
