Product Marketing Specialist

Quandela is a European deep tech scale-up building photonic quantum computers that are modular, scalable, energy-efficient, and accessible both on the cloud and on-premise.

Our team of 140 employees develops the full stack of quantum computing: from single-photon sources and quantum processors to algorithms, software layers, and cloud-based quantum services.

We play a pivotal role in the quantum transformation of industrial sectors such as energy, finance, pharmaceuticals, and transportation—while staying closely connected to the academic and research ecosystem.

Following a successful €50M fundraising in 2023 and our selection in the French Tech 2030 program, Quandela is entering a new phase of strong scale: accelerating commercialization while continuing to industrialize its product portfolio.

As we transition from a research-led organization to a product- and market-driven company, we are strengthening our Product Marketing team to translate technical excellence into clear, differentiated, customer-ready value.

The Role

As a Product Marketing Specialist, you will help make Quandela’s products understandable, desirable, and easy to adopt—without diluting what makes them scientifically credible.

You’ll sit at the intersection of Product, Sales, and Marketing, supporting go-to-market execution, content creation, and sales enablement.
This is an ideal role if you like complex tech, structured thinking, and turning “quantum magic” into messages that land in the real world.

You will report to the Product Marketing leadership and work closely with Product Managers, quantum experts, Sales, and Corporate Communications.

KEY RESPONSABILITIES

Product Messaging & Positioning (with training wheels, not blindfolds)

• Help transform product capabilities into clear benefits, value propositions, and differentiated messaging.
• Contribute to persona/segment narratives (industry, customer maturity, use cases).
• Maintain scientific accuracy while making content market-ready.

Go-to-Market Support

• Support product launches: messaging, assets, internal readiness, and campaign coordination.
• Help build and maintain go-to-market toolkits (one-pagers, pitch decks, FAQs, battlecards).
• Coordinate with Sales to ensure materials are useful in real conversations—not just pretty.

Content & Sales Enablement

• Create and update product marketing assets: web copy inputs, slide content, case studies, solution briefs, demos narratives.
• Work with internal experts to extract the “so what?” from technical topics.
• Support events, webinars, and partner initiatives with the right product story and materials.

Market & Competitive Intelligence

• Pricing and packaging analysis
• Mapping competitors' business models
• Macro analysis of target markets (HPC, defence, finance, pharmaceuticals)
• Identification of market windows
• Contribute to structured insights: what’s changing, what customers ask, what Sales hears repeatedly.
• Help keep internal documentation current and actionable.

Performance & Operations

• Track asset usage and campaign performance signals (basic KPIs, feedback loops, content effectiveness).
• Improve performance measurement KPIs (adoption, conversion, customer retention)
• Improve workflows: templates, consistency, message libraries, reuse of content.

PROFILE

·       Engineering degree required (Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent scientific background), as a prerequisite to understand Quandela’s product offerings and to effectively bridge Product, Marketing, and Sales teams.

·       Exposure to or strong interest in deep tech environments (quantum technologies, AI infrastructure, semiconductors, HPC, photonics…).

·       Strong writing and synthesis skills: ability to turn complex technical concepts into clear, structured, and actionable messaging without oversimplifying.

·       High level of comfort with technical topics, enabling close collaboration with engineers, researchers, and sales teams (no PhD required).

·       Structured mindset, strong attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple workstreams in parallel.

Nice to have
