Technical Product Marketing Manager

vCluster is a venture-backed tech startup striving to be the leading force in enabling platform engineers. The Technical Product Marketing Manager will build the technical marketing engine and create high-impact technical assets while collaborating with Product, Sales, and Engineering teams to drive the company's go-to-market strategy.

Responsibilities:

• Act as the first dedicated technical marketer, owning the transition from reactive technical content to a scalable, world-class technical marketing engine
• Define how complex distributed systems are communicated to both practitioners and executive buyers — and build the playbook that scales with the company
• Develop high-impact technical assets including architecture guides, white papers, solution briefs, deep-dive blogs, competitive positioning materials, and technical FAQs
• Build hands-on demos, workshops, and proof-of-value environments that speak the language of platform engineers
• Create and maintain demo environments that support marketing campaigns, field enablement, events, and webinars
• Produce technical video walkthroughs, tutorials, and deep-dive sessions that clearly articulate vCluster’s differentiation in real-world use cases, including GPU-intensive AI workloads
• Partner deeply with Solutions Engineers and Technical Account Managers to identify technical friction points, competitive threats, and deal blockers
• Translate these 'boots on the ground' insights into battle cards, demo scripts, sales plays, and enablement materials that accelerate pipeline and unblock high-value opportunities
• Support demand generation and nurture campaigns with technically credible content that drives inbound engagement and pipeline velocity
• Sharpen our technical edge against legacy multi-tenancy architectures and alternative Kubernetes approaches
• Represent vCluster in webinars, technical events, and community forums
• Occasionally join strategic prospect conversations as a subject matter expert to gather direct market feedback and influence positioning
• Report to the Product Marketing Leader while maintaining a tight feedback loop with Product and Engineering to ensure innovation translates clearly into market value — and market signals meaningfully influence roadmap decisions

Requirements:

• 5+ years in Technical Product Marketing, Solutions Engineering, Solutions Architecture, Professional Services, or Product Management within the cloud-native ecosystem
• Deeply K8s-native, with hands-on experience across multi-tenancy, cluster architecture, networking, RBAC, security, GitOps workflows, platform engineering practices, and Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs)
• Ability to confidently hold your own in architecture-level discussions with senior infrastructure leaders
• Thrive in high-growth, Series B environments
• Proven ability to distill complex distributed systems and multi-tenant Kubernetes concepts into compelling technical narratives that resonate with practitioners and support executive-level decision-making
• Natural partner to Sales, Customer Engineering, and Product teams
• Measure success by how much more effective the field becomes because of your work
• Experience with GPU slicing, NVIDIA integrations, or infrastructure requirements for large-scale AI/ML workloads
• A background in Solutions Engineering or Solutions Architecture, with a deep understanding of what it takes to win a POC
• Experience working with emerging GPU cloud providers or next-generation cloud infrastructure ecosystems
• Active contribution to the Kubernetes community, frequent speaking engagements at KubeCon, or recognition as a trusted voice in the Platform Engineering space
