Product Marketing Manager, Prophecy

Job description

About Somnia: SOMNIA is the Agentic Chain - a hyper-performance L1 operating at an order of magnitude faster than existing networks. We empower builders and traders to create real-time, autonomous, and fully decentralized products, powered by agents, that were previously impossible and cannot be built anywhere else. It’s where the future of Web3 protocols will be built, so we’re facilitating a new wave of on-chain applications from DEX to Prediction Protocols and much, much more. Somnia is being developed by Somnia Foundation backed by Improbable https://www.improbable.io/, a British tech Unicorn +++ that has been at the forefront of building virtual worlds for over a decade. Somnia received initial funding from MSquared https://www.msquared.io/, which raised $150 million https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220407005101/en/Improbable-Raises-US150m-to-Establish-M%C2%B2-MSquared-a-Metaverse-Network-and-Ecosystem-Powered-by-Its-Morpheus-Technology from a16z crypto, SoftBank, Mirana Ventures, CMT Digital, and SIG. About the Role: Prophecy is Somnia's prediction protocol - a flagship product designed to prove what an Agentic L1 actually unlocks: sub-second markets, AI-resolved outcomes, and autonomous agents trading information at machine speed. Prophecy enables prediction markets to be real-time, agent-native, and an order of magnitude faster than any incumbent is today. We're hiring a Product Marketing Manager to own how Prophecy shows up in the world. You'll be the connective tissue between product, growth, comms, and community, translating a deeply technical edge into positioning that traders, builders, and partners immediately get. You'll own the narrative, lead every launch, and run the experiments that turn a new prediction protocol into a category-defining brand. This is a builder's role, not a steward's. You'll be writing the playbook. The team is small, decisions are fast, and the work shows up in market within weeks. Up for shaping the next chapter of on-chain prediction markets? Let's talk. Key Responsibilities: - Own positioning and messaging for Prophecy end-to-end: what it is, who it's for, why it's different, and why now. Translate technical primitives (real-time settlement, AI resolution, agentic liquidity) into sharp, defensible narratives that work across trader, builder, and partner audiences. - Lead go-to-market for every Prophecy launch: mainnet milestones, new market categories, agent integrations, partner activations, and token / incentive moments. Run cross-functional launch pods spanning product, engineering, comms, growth, design, and BD. - Define and run the marketing roadmap for Prophecy in lockstep with the product and community leads. Sequence launches, campaigns, and content so each beat compounds on the last instead of competing for airtime. - Build the audience. Design and execute always-on programs that grow Prophecy's qualified builders base. - Own competitive intelligence. Maintain a live read on the competitive landscape such that you understand how to differentiate and position Prophecy - Run customer and market research. Talk to traders, builders, and KOLs continuously. Bring insight back into product roadmap, pricing, and creative. - Brief and produce content that earns attention in the web3 space: launch threads, longform research notes, explainer videos, dashboards, KOL kits, conference assets, and AMA narratives. Quality bar is "screenshotted on CT," not "ticked the box." - Partner with comms on tier-1 press, podcast bookings, and thought leadership. Land Prophecy in the publications and shows the target audience actually reads and listens to. - Instrument everything. Define the KPIs that matter and own the weekly reporting rhythm. Kill what isn't working, double down on what is. - Be the channel partner-in-chief internally. Brief channel owners on the Prophecy narrative so every channel ships consistent, on-message activations without you in the room. Requirements: - 5+ years in product marketing, with at least 2 spent on a consumer-facing web3 product (prediction markets, derivatives DEX, perps, options, equities trading, or fintech with a trader audience). - Crypto-native. You hold a wallet, understand on-chain UX, know the difference between a CLOB and an AMM, can read a token incentive design, and have shipped GTM for at least one Web3 product that hit market. - Track record of owning launches end-to-end. From positioning brief through measurable post-launch impact. Bring 2-3 launches you can talk through in detail: the thesis, the bets, the numbers, and what you'd do differently. - Sharp narrative instinct. You can take a 40-page technical spec and produce a 280-character hook that builders share. Writing samples will be requested. - Quantitative fluency. Comfortable with numbers, you frame every campaign around hypotheses and read the data yourself rather than waiting for analytics. - Operator mindset. You're a maker, not a manager. You ship the brief, write the thread, edit the deck, and chase the asset. Comfortable with ambiguity, allergic to process for its own sake. - Cross-functional gravity. You can hold the line on a launch narrative with founders, product leads, designers, and BD without losing the room. Strong opinions, loosely held, clearly argued. - Excellent written and spoken English. This role lives in Notion, Slack, X, and on calls with global partners. NICE TO HAVE - Direct experience with prediction markets. - A public footprint in crypto (CT, Mirror, podcast appearances, conference talks) that signals fluency with the audience you'll be marketing to. - Worked through a token launch (TGE, season, airdrop) on the GTM side. - Built or shipped agent-based / AI-native consumer products. Why Join Somnia? Design The Future: Join Somnia to work remotely with a global team, earn competitive compensation with token incentives, and help build the future of Web3 at a company where your impact truly matters. First of its Kind: Make Somnia famous as the only hyperspeed L1 with native AI inference. High Stakes: Influence a brand targeting a $1M+ launch budget in the 2026 peak-fragility market. Incentives: Competitive salary + tokens. Role Location The role is remote, but we are looking for someone based on a UK-friendly timezone (+/- 4 hours). Reporting Lines This role reports directly to the GM for Prophecy and functionally to the Head of Marketing, Somnia Foundation.
