What is The Role

We're looking to add a new node to our cluster, focusing on educating and inspiring developers to build on Elasticsearch. This PMM will be able to communicate and create content for very technical audiences, including messaging and positioning, campaign support, and field enablement. You will work closely with Elastic product managers, engineers, sales, and partners across marketing. You’ll need to become comfortable with the technical aspects of Elastic’s products and solutions, the markets they play in, as well as, the creative aspects of positioning technology through messaging and narratives that are compelling, authentic, and differentiated!

What You Will Be Doing

• Build a positive partnership with peers in Product Management, Engineering and Community to effectively launch new features and products and engage with users


• Attend and present at Elastic events, third party trade shows and other events to help showcase our products to technical audiences.

What You Bring

• 7-10 years of experience in product marketing for technical products.


• Proven track record of effectively marketing technical to developers or technical practitioners.


• Curiosity about the "how" of technology to tell compelling content about the "why"


• Ability to work in a very cross functional role, with a highly distributed team


• Excellent and concise writing skills targeted at developers


• Be a spokesperson for product capabilities and Elastic at large for internal and external audiences - including webinars, trainings, and analyst briefings

• Experience crafting engaging content for developers, including blog posts, decks, videos, and more


• Comfortable driving cross-functional teams and initiatives
