Powered by the relentless innovation of the open source community, Cloudera advances digital transformation for the world's largest enterprises.

We are seeking a Senior Product Marketing Manager to lead positioning and go-to-market execution for our anywhere cloud platform-one of Cloudera's key differentiators to give organizations choice on where to place and consume compute and storage. This role requires a mix of strategic vision, market expertise, and hands-on execution to define how Cloudera's hybrid capabilities are brought to market. You will be a trusted partner to product, sales, and marketing leadership, directly influencing market leadership and revenue growth by defining how Cloudera's anywhere cloud platform, which unifies data and AI across diverse cloud, virtualization, and Kubernetes environments, delivers unparalleled value and flexibility to enterprise customers..

In this role, you will have a blend of critical thinking, storytelling, and analysis, as you develop product positioning, craft compelling narratives that resonate with enterprise decision-makers, create exceptional go-to-market plans, drive current and new sales plays and equip sales with the tools to effectively articulate value, and use data to measure impact and iterate on strategies for continuous improvement. You will collaborate with the rest of the product marketing team, and cross-functionally with field marketing, customer advocacy, product management, and sales teams, to produce cohesive and impactful materials and analysis to accelerate customer adoption.

In this role, you will:

• Own positioning and messaging for Cloudera's evolving capabilities deploying to any infrastructure (leveraging cloud, hypervisors, and Kubernetes)-articulating clear differentiation against competitors.

• Lead go-to-market planning for hybrid features and launches, ensuring alignment across sales, marketing, and product management.

• Develop high-impact and innovative content (sales plays, solution briefs, competitive battlecards, analyst decks, thought leadership blogs) tailored to both technical and executive audiences.

• Enable the field and partners with training, tools, and messaging that drive confidence in hybrid sales conversations.

• Conduct competitive and market intelligence, synthesizing insights on virtualization, container orchestration, and hybrid architectures to guide strategy, and proactively identify competitive threats and market opportunities.

• Actively influence product strategy by partnering with product management, ensuring customer, analyst, and market feedback is reflected in roadmaps.

• Represent Cloudera externally in analyst briefings, industry events, webinars, and customer meetings as a hybrid platform subject matter expert and thought leader.

• Measure and optimize impact of hybrid-focused campaigns, launches, and enablement to ensure outcomes are tied to adoption and pipeline growth.

We are excited about you if you have:

• Bachelor's degree in marketing, business, computer science, or a related field; MBA or advanced technical degree is a plus.

• 6-8+ years of experience in product marketing or technical marketing within enterprise software, infrastructure virtualization platforms, cloud infrastructure, or related fields.

• Deep understanding of hybrid architectures, with practical knowledge of cloud platforms, hypervisors (VMware, KVM, etc.), and Kubernetes orchestration.

• Proven track record of developing positioning and messaging for complex technical solutions and driving adoption in enterprise markets.

• Demonstrated experience leading end-to-end product launches and building GTM strategies that deliver measurable business impact.

• Exceptional writing and storytelling skills (and experience with GenAI for content development), catering to diverse internal and external audiences, including executives, practitioners, analysts, and partners.

• Ability to work cross-functionally, influence stakeholders, and thrive in a fast-paced environment.

• Exceptional personal management skills with a proven track record of driving projects to completion on time.
