Role Description
As Camunda grows past the $100M ARR mark, we are building the marketing infrastructure to define and lead the Business Process Orchestration and Automation (BOAT) category. Our ability to tell a clear, compelling, and consistent story β across products, solutions, and personas β is critical to that mission.
This Director sits at the intersection of product and solution marketing: one part platform storyteller, one part GTM architect. Reporting to the VP of Solution and Product Marketing, you will own the narrative for key areas of the business, lead cross-functional execution, and mentor a portion of the team. This is not a pure IC role, and it is not a pure people manager role. It is both β and the balance will shift as the business scales. We are looking for a strong player/coach mentality with the experience to coach through that daily participation.
