The Role:

We are looking for a Product Marketing Manager, Space Solutions to lead go-to-market strategy for IonQ’s space portfolio within Quantum Platform. Reporting to the Head of Product Marketing, Quantum Platform, this role will shape how IonQ’s Space Solutions portfolio is understood in-market — translating space systems, SAR capabilities, mission solutions, and emerging quantum-enabled space capabilities into differentiated positioning, launch strategies, impactful revenue-driving narratives, and sales motions that accelerate market adoption, support pipeline growth, and strengthen IonQ’s position in space, defense, intelligence, and allied government markets.

This role operates at the intersection of product, engineering, sales, marketing, and leadership. You will help connect product strategy to market strategy, ensuring launches and messaging reflect a clear, credible, technically accurate, and customer-relevant narrative. You will own positioning, messaging, go-to-market strategy, launches, and cross-functional alignment across Space Solutions, including SAR Solutions and Mission Solutions, ensuring IonQ’s portfolio is differentiated, commercially relevant, and positioned to drive adoption.

You will serve as a strategic market partner to product and technical leadership — helping connect product development decisions to customer needs, competitive dynamics, buyer behavior, and market opportunity. This includes influencing launch priorities, roadmap communication, and product strategy through customer insight, competitive intelligence, and market feedback.

This is a strategy and execution role on a highly effective team that uses AI-assisted workflows to accelerate production, improve consistency, and create more time for strategic work, customer insight, competitive analysis, and cross-functional influence. The right person is independently driven, deeply collaborative, customer-voice driven, and comfortable operating with autonomy in highly technical, mission-driven, and evolving markets.

Responsibilities :

• Support, define, and evolve the narrative, positioning, and messaging for Space Solutions across customer segments and buyer personas — translating technical space capabilities into customer-ready language that resonates with U.S. government, allied government, defense, intelligence, civil, and commercial space audiences.

• Support the go-to-market strategy and launch execution across Space Solutions, including SAR Solutions and Mission Solutions, tailoring positioning, messaging, and customer engagement to distinct buyers, use cases, competitive environments, and procurement paths.

• Partner closely with product management, mission design, engineering, sales, and technical leadership to influence launch prioritization and roadmap communication based on customer insight, competitive dynamics, mission relevance, and market opportunity.

• Develop and maintain customer-facing and internal content, including messaging frameworks, solution narratives, thought leadership, web copy, sales enablement assets, technical briefs, one-pagers, case studies, campaign content, and launch materials.

• Own and continuously evolve Space Solutions AI-enabled go-to-market systems, including domain-specific agents, knowledge repositories, competitive intelligence, product information, proof points, ICPs, and approved messaging to power scalable content creation, sales enablement, and market intelligence.

• Leverage AI-enabled workflows to accelerate content creation, competitive intelligence, launch execution, sales enablement, and customer-facing asset development while applying strategic judgment to ensure accuracy, quality, mission credibility, and market relevance.

• Drive cross-functional alignment across product, engineering, sales, mission design, corporate marketing, communications, and enablement to ensure launches reinforce product authority, platform coherence, and market differentiation at every touchpoint.

• Own competitive and market intelligence, tracking competitors, procurement trends, mission priorities, customer needs, market shifts, and emerging category dynamics while translating insights into actionable recommendations for GTM team members.

• Serve as the voice of the customer within the organization, ensuring customer needs, mission requirements, buying behavior, market feedback, and competitive realities consistently influence GTM strategy, positioning, launch planning, and product decisions.

• Partner with sales enablement to support battle cards, objection handling, training materials, customer decks, demo narratives, technical talk tracks, and strategic deal support for complex government, defense, intel
