Product Marketing Manager, Aiven

• 6+ years in B2B product marketing, ideally in cloud, data infrastructure, or open source
• You've built a narrative around AI before, not just helped with one, and you can explain the choices you made
• You understand how cloud and AI business models work and can articulate the challenges that companies face trying to build AI-ready systems
• Prior experience marketing a managed service or product built on an open source project (e.g., Kafka, PostgreSQL, OpenSearch, Clickhouse)
• Strong writer who can make technical ideas readable without dumbing them down or defaulting to AI
• That said, you should absolutely know how to use generative AI tools to become more efficient at your job
• You can operate in a high-growth, fast-paced environment and drive cross-functional projects, including with executive leadership
