    • Collaborate with sales to create an effective lead funnel and nurture strategy.
    • Optimize campaigns based on performance metrics and insights.
  • Content and Thought Leadership:
    • Oversee the creation of high-quality content, including blog posts, whitepapers, case studies, webinars, and videos.
    • Position Upbound as a thought leader in the cloud orchestration and platform engineering domains.
  • Partnership and Ecosystem Marketing:
    • Build and manage co-marketing initiatives with partners in the cloud and cloud native ecosystems.
    • Drive engagement within the Crossplane open-source community to strengthen Upbound’s reputation as a leading contributor.
    • Own Developer Advocacy strategy and team management.
  • Product Marketing:
    • Work closely with product teams to develop go-to-market strategies for new features and products.
    • Create compelling product messaging and enablement materials for sales and partners.
  • Metrics and Reporting:
    • Define and track key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure the success of marketing initiatives.
    • Present insights and recommendations to the executive team to inform strategic decisions.

You’re a good fit if you have…

  • Proven track record of successfully marketing enterprise technology solutions, preferably in cloud, cloud-native, or platform solutions.
  • Deep understanding of B2B marketing strategies, including demand generation, product marketing, and content marketing.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to craft compelling narratives for technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Experience with open-source technologies and developer communities is highly desirable.
  • Strong analytical skills and familiarity with marketing tools (e.g., Common Room, Rollworks, etc).
  • A collaborative mindset and the ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams.

It’s a big plus if you have…
