Summary

Temporal underpins some of the most demanding, large-scale systems in production today. As adoption grows, customers increasingly rely on Temporal not just for correctness, but for performance, scalability, and global reliability at scale. We are hiring a Staff Technical Product Marketing Manager, Platform Infrastructure, to define and own how Temporal is positioned as a high-performance, globally scalable execution platform.  You will translate deep infrastructure capabilities into clear, compelling narratives for platform engineers, architects, and technical decision-makers. This is a highly strategic, highly technical role with broad influence across product, engineering, and GTM.

This role reports to the Director of Product Marketing.

What You’ll Do

  • Own positioning & messaging for Temporal’s platform infrastructure capabilities - including performance, scalability, connectivity, replication, compute, and more.

  • Develop clear value propositions for how platform engineers and architects should consider running Temporal at massive scale.

  • Define and evolve the Temporal Nexus storytelling and shape how Nexus fits into the broader platform and architecture narratives.

  • Plan and execute product launches, announcements, and GTM campaigns related to Temporal's platform infrastructure capabilities.

  • Create high-quality external content including web pages, blogs, solution briefs, case studies, decks, and sales enablement materials.

  • Enable sales and solutions teams with messaging, pitch narratives, and objection handling.

  • Partner with product and engineering teams to influence product strategy based on market, customer and competitive insights. 

Who You Are

We value folks who bring both strong experience and a POV, as well as a growth mindset to learn new skills and take on new projects. The skills and perspectives below are some of the things we’ll be looking for that will help you get off to a strong start.

  • Senior, strategic product marketer with experience owning end-to-end PMM for complex, technical products.

  • Comfortable marketing to highly technical audiences including developers, platform teams, and architects.

  • Able to translate technical concepts into crisp, differentiated messaging without oversimplifying

  • Strong storyteller who can create narratives that resonate with both technical and business stakeholders.

  • Proven track record of influencing product direction and GTM strategy at a senior level

  • Highly collaborative, with experience working closely with product, engineering, and sales leadership.

  • Self-directed and comfortable operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.

  • Detail-oriented in execution but able to think at the system and market level.

Compensation

  • Additionally, this role is eligible to participate in Temporal's equity plan.
