Temporal is growing and working towards building the best community. We are looking for those who share our values, challenge 'standard' thinking, and want to influence our future. If you have a passion for helping developer communities, open-source software, and want to be a part of our amazing team, we'd love to hear from you!

Your primary objective is to own the messaging and positioning for Temporal for platform teams, DevOps, and operations teams. Temporal is being implemented inside of digitally-native disruptors, Fortune 500 companies, and major Enterprises at a break-neck pace via developers within our open source and Cloud communities—we now need to empower the centers of excellence inside of customers and prospects to quickly provision environments for devs to start building with Temporal safely and at speed. Additionally, many new customers are accessing Temporal for the first time via our growing partner ecosystem. 

What You’ll Do:

• Own messaging and positioning for Temporal platform operations features, access management, and other aspects of the Temporal Cloud and OSS products that contribute to developer environment management with prospects and customers, including partner integrations of record.
• Own and maintain a library of sales assets, content, collateral, and training for your coverage area.
• Develop and refine use case messaging to be used by the broader marketing and Sales organization.
• Drive strategic direction and planning for campaigns and other marketing activities as aligned to corporate goals.
• Develop effective sales training materials and operationalize enablement, making it easy for sales to understand our product offerings, key positioning, and marketing efforts.

• Demonstrated track record of being able to manage stakeholders at all levels, from individual contributors to senior executives. Must have experience driving executive-level conversations.

• You have deep experience as a founder in, or supporting the early-stage startup ecosystem.

• You are an exceptional communicator, able to boil down insights and complex information into concise stories and actionable recommendations.
• You have a demonstrated ability to operate with empathy, agility, and flexibility in a remote, collaborative, and fast-paced environment with team members, colleagues, and cross-functional partners.
