ABOUT PATHWISE

Pathwise (formerly TransAct) is a leading provider of cloud-based operational solutions built for the K-12 education community. With more than 30 years of experience and a team that includes former district administrators and transportation directors, we build software that solves the real challenges of running school operations. Serving more than 3,000 school districts and charter organizations—along with 25+ state departments of education—Pathwise delivers expertise-driven tools across student transportation, after-school program management, McKinney-Vento coordination, parent communication, and board governance. We’re growing, investing in our products, and building a marketing team to match our ambitions.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for a Product Marketing Manager to own Pathwise’s product positioning, competitive intelligence, go-to-market launches, and thought leadership—while also driving our social media presence. This role is the connective tissue between product, sales, and marketing: you’ll translate complex product capabilities into compelling narratives that resonate with K-12 administrators, transportation directors, and district decision-makers. You’ll also own Pathwise’s social media strategy and execution, building our brand voice across LinkedIn, X (Twitter), and other relevant platforms to amplify thought leadership, product news, and industry engagement. The ideal candidate is a strong writer who can shift seamlessly between a product launch brief, a competitive battlecard, and a LinkedIn post that earns engagement. As part of a lean, high-performing marketing team, this is a planning-and-doing role—you’ll set the strategy and execute it. This is an excellent opportunity for a product marketer who wants to shape how a market leader communicates its value during a period of significant growth. This is a remote position open to candidates based anywhere in the US.
