More than 650,000 customers and millions of developers globally trust DigitalOcean to build, ship, and scale their applications.

As a Staff Technical Product Marketing Manager, you will own the technical go-to-market for your area end to end, driven from two angles: the products (one or more of our AI-Native Cloud product lines) and the markets they serve (use cases, verticals, segments). You set the standard for how technical product marketing is executed on this team, on our stages, and in our most important executive moments. This is a role for a technical practitioner who is also a natural storyteller: you enjoy building with products just as much as you communicate their value with ease.

Reporting to the Head of Product Marketing, you will work cross-functionally across many orgs while partnering with your peers in Product, Revenue, and Marketing leadership to provide strategic direction and insights. You define how DigitalOcean differentiates in a market prone to empty hype by translating architecture into advantage and backing it with real, authentic proof. You are the person who decides not just what we built, but who it is for, what it replaces, and why it matters to them.

• Own the narrative and be our market authority. Set positioning and messaging across your area (product and market), grounded in provable value, not benchmark theater or per-token cost wars. Serve as the go-to positioning authority for Product Marketing, Sales, DevRel, and executive leadership, backed by a real-time view of frontier labs, hyperscalers, inference providers, and neoclouds.

• Build the proof yourself. Create technical demos, sample apps, and code (Python, JavaScript) that show the platform working. You don't wait for an engineer to explain a feature; you test it.

• Create deeply technical content and be our public voice. Produce the content that helps our audience understand our products and their value. Match the medium to the message, whether that is a blog, a demo, a diagram, or a livestream, and tailor it for distribution and audience. Represent DigitalOcean on stage with the depth and presence to hold a sophisticated room, and partner with our VPs and C-level leaders on their most important third-party appearances from CFP to stage.

• Drive launches as a system and arm the field. Sequence readiness across Product, Engineering, DevRel, and Sales so enablement and proof points land the day the product does. Define success metrics before launch, not after. Give AEs and Solutions Engineers the talk tracks, demo environments, and battlecards to close high-value AI deals. Build a repeatable launch playbook, and measure impact through adoption, pipeline, deal velocity, and win rates.

• Set the bar and raise the team. Mentor other PMMs and establish the frameworks and
