About The Role
The Senior Director of Developer Product Marketing is the strategic lead for how the organization’s developer-focused technologies are perceived and adopted in the global market. While our Product Managers define the "what," you will own the "why," the "who," and the "how we win" in terms of market penetration. You will lead the team responsible for crafting the narrative around our key offerings, ensuring that our messaging resonates with everyone from individual developers to CTOs of Fortune 500 companies.
In this role, you will transcend traditional growth tactics to concentrate on core Product Marketing principles: Positioning, Go-To-Market (GTM) Strategy, Market Intelligence, and Sales Enablement. You will serve as the primary link between our highly technical Product organization and our global Sales, Marketing, and Developer Relations teams.

This pivotal role will focus on driving brand awareness, user engagement, and revenue growth through innovative marketing initiatives tailored for technical audiences.
