@Facebook What is the difference between product managers and product marketing manager @facebook ? getting a call for interview, and would like to know if its worth it . thanks
Umm PMM has 1 more M's, and PM has 1 less.
Product Marketing Managers have 3 specific streams in Facebook. Depending on which stream, depends on the culture and challenging a) Development - Working closely with eng/product in product development, focusing mainly on inbound research and outbound positioning of product to market b) Planning - Working closely with multiple internal stakeholders. "Connects the dots" when involving various key stakeholders when launching a new product and ensuring transparency of communication throughout. c) Growth - Execution of the Go-to-market strategy devised by Development and Planning. Knows the regional and industry-specific communication styles and highlights to draw out for communication. For more info: https://www.rooftopslushie.com/request/Product-Marketing-at-Facebook-63
Pmm is much more communication focused
How are you getting a call when you donāt really know what the role is about ? š¤
One is more team products focused the other is market fit focused.
Do you honestly not know the answer? I donāt want to sound patronizing; Iām just saying that you probably shouldnāt be interviewing for 1 if you donāt know what they each are. PMM is non-technical, marketing. Get paid way less than SWE/PM. PM is product management. Paid a bit less than SWE but still top tier. You work with SWEs, designers, etc to bring teams together and align them cross functionally to ship a product.
One role is in the product org, the other is in the marketing org.
