Dive in and do the best work of your career at DigitalOcean. Journey alongside a strong community of top talent who are relentless in their drive to build the simplest scalable cloud. If you have a growth mindset, naturally like to think big and bold, and are energized by the fast-paced environment of a true industry disruptor, you’ll find your place here.  We value winning together—while learning, having fun, and making a profound difference for the dreamers and builders in the world. 

We are looking for a Senior Program Manager who is passionate about bringing planning rigor and scalable operational excellence to marketing — including shaping how we operate in the era of AI.

As a Senior Program Manager at DigitalOcean, you will join a dynamic team dedicated to revolutionizing cloud computing and AI. Reporting to the Director of Marketing Operations, you’ll be marketing leadership’s trusted planning partner — turning priorities into operating cadences, decision-ready materials, and clear owners, milestones, and outcomes. You’ll own planning and cross-functional coordination across marketing programs, co-owning execution alongside functional leads — for example, partnering with our Product Marketing Lead to bring the programmatic rigor that keeps product launches on track. Beyond individual programs, you’ll help shape how marketing operates as a team, including where AI-powered tools can drive more scalable, efficient ways of working.

What You’ll Do:
  • Own planning and cross-functional coordination for marketing programs, co-owning execution with functional leads (e.g., partnering with Product Marketing on launch planning and execution) to keep initiatives moving from kickoff to completion.
  • Build and run operating cadences with marketing leadership (status reviews, business reviews, planning cycles) that keep priorities, risks, dependencies, and next steps visible.
  • Help define how marketing operates together — establishing the operating model, rituals, and ways of working that scale as the team and its remit grow.
  • Partner across marketing's functions, along with product, sales, engineering, finance, and partner teams, to align roadmaps, launches, and go-to-market plays with measurable business outcomes.
  • Track budget, resourcing, and approval workflows in support of program and partnership investments, surfacing risks and decision points to marketing leadership.
  • Lead co-marketing and cross-functional program execution for partner- and customer-facing initiatives (e.g., events, campaigns, customer storytelling), connecting product content to field and business outcomes.
  • Synthesize inputs from product, technical, partner, and customer stakeholders into decision-ready briefings, dashboards, and KPI reporting for marketing leadership.
  • Help shape marketing operations for the AI era — identifying and implementing AI-powered tools and workflows that drive scalable operational and programmatic excellence.
Key Metrics:
  • On-time delivery rate for marketing programs and campaign launches
  • Stakeholder satisfaction with program management and planning support
  • Program cycle time from kickoff to launch
  • Budget and resourcing forecast accuracy
  • Roadmap adherence and reduction in scope churn
Compensation Range: 
  • $122,400 - $155,000

What We Do

DigitalOcean is the Inference Cloud — a full-stack, production-ready cloud platform built to run AI applications with predictable performance, sustainable economics, and radically simpler operations at scale. We are built for teams turning AI into real products — not just training models. Our advantage is not fewer features, but fewer failure modes when operating AI at scale — combining minimal operational overhead, predictable cost efficiency, and a full-stack cloud that works as a system. Hyperscalers are broad by design. Neoclouds are infrastructure-first. DigitalOcean is inference-first — with a real cloud underneath. It combines inference-optimized compute, managed inference software, and integrated cloud capabilities that reduce operational burden for teams running real workloads. Inference is the foundation—not the boundary. Everything else builds on top of it.

Why Work With Us

At DO, we do career-defining work. We innovate with AI and build cutting-edge tech. Our rewards to match that intensity - to motivate you, recognize your impact, and give you what you need to thrive. If you have a growth mindset, like to think big and bold, and are energized by the fast-paced environment, you'll find your place here.
