Mailchimp’s mission is to help small and mid-sized businesses grow through better marketing, data, and automation. As we accelerate toward a future where Mailchimp is the most extensible and developer-friendly marketing platform, we’re hiring a Principal Product Manager to lead our public API strategy and developer experiences. In this role, you’ll define and drive the strategy and roadmap for how Mailchimp externalizes its core capabilities — through modern, reliable RESTful APIs, robust developer tooling, and clear governance standards. You’ll shape the end-to-end experience for third-party developers and partners, working closely with engineering, design, developer relations, and GTM to ensure our platform is easy to integrate with, trustworthy, and built to scale. This is a high-impact, cross-functional leadership role focused on API product design, developer enablement, and platform extensibility. Responsibilities

Partner with Tech Partnerships and Developer Relations to support the external dev ecosystem — running programs, capturing feedback, and enabling third-party success.
