Senior Product Marketing Manager - Gateway, Devices & Vertical Solutions
We're looking for a strategic and execution-focused Product Marketing Manager to lead go-to-market strategy for NMI's Gateway product line, with a focus on card-present devices and vertical markets such as unattended retail, parking, medical, and beyond.
This role sits at the center of product, sales, and marketing, translating platform and device capabilities into compelling, solution-forward value propositions that resonate with the operators, partners, and buyers within each vertical. You will own market positioning, messaging, launches, and enablement for NMI's Gateway, device, and unattended solutions, ensuring NMI is the preferred payments partner across every vertical it serves.
This role requires a strong understanding of how vertical markets evaluate and adopt payment technology, and the ability to explain the value proposition and competitive advantages of NMI's solutions in terms that matter to each vertical, not just the technical specifications of the hardware or gateway itself. You'll help shape how partners, integrators and operators in card-present verticals, in particular the unattended (transportation, parking, vending, etc) space, and understand, evaluate, and succeed with NMI, while supporting revenue teams with clear, differentiated, outcome-focused messaging that drives pipeline and adoption. Success in this role looks like partners, integrators and operators understanding how NMI's applications help their business succeed, not a list of device features.
This role is also NMI's evangelist for these solutions. You'll present directly to sales teams, internal and external stakeholders, and prospects, and represent NMI at trade shows, conferences, and other industry events, including external speaking opportunities and briefings with industry analysts. You'll build AI tools into your everyday workflow as a core habit rather than an occasional add-on, and bring enough technical depth across gateways, devices, APIs, and certification processes to hold your own in a room with engineers and technical buyers, not just repeat what they tell you.
