Director, Product Marketing, GTM
About this role
ROLE SUMMARY Temporal is building a category that is still new to much of the market. Buyers rarely begin with a feature or a defined budget. They begin with a critical process, a technical or business problem, and the tools they already know. Temporal must help them recognize the problem, understand where the product fits, and see why it matters now. Working directly with the VP of Product Marketing, you will own market-facing Product Marketing.
You will decide which customer problems, use cases, audiences, and industries deserve investment. You will own positioning and messaging, turn the strategy into campaigns and activation programs, set direction for solutions and sales plays, and co-own packaging of pricing with the VP. You will work across Demand Generation, Brand, Communications, Sales, and Solutions Architecture, bringing in Product Marketing Engineers when the work requires technical investigation or proof.
You will own relationships with SIs. This is a hands-on leadership role. You will write, make investment choices, shape programs, resolve recurring field needs, and advise the VP on GTM tradeoffs. You will manage a Solutions and Value Product Marketer and a Principal Competitive Intelligence Product Marketing Engineer. As the market changes, you will direct the team toward the customer and field problems that matter most.
WHAT YOU WILL DO - Set Temporal's market priorities across application and AI use cases, audiences, and selected industries. Decide where the company should focus, what outcome Temporal can credibly own, and what must be true for the investment to work. - Set the narrative, quality bar, and business priorities for solutions and vertical marketing. Ensure each solution connects technical architecture to developer, platform, operational, and business outcomes, then guide the Solutions and Value Product Marketer in turning those priorities into market programs and sales plays.
- Turn the strategy into GTM plans across the company narrative, web, campaigns, content, events, field programs, and customer activation. Define the role of each channel and keep the story consistent from first exposure through adoption. - Run a disciplined intake and triage process for Sales and Solutions Architecture. Separate one-off requests from recurring market needs, then decide whether the response is positioning, content, competitive work, technical proof, product feedback, or a combination.
