Confluent: Flink Product Marketing Manager
Confluent, New Bremen, OH, United States
We’re not just building better tech. We’re rewriting how data moves and what the world can do with it. With Confluent, data doesn’t sit still. Our platform puts information in motion, streaming in near real‑time so companies can react faster, build smarter, and deliver experiences as dynamic as the world around them.
About the Role
Confluent is seeking a strategic Flink Product Marketing Manager to lead the marketing efforts for our stream processing portfolio, including Confluent Cloud and Confluent Platform for Apache Flink. In this role, you will develop and execute high‑impact launch and ongoing GTM strategies to drive awareness, adoption, and revenue growth. By collaborating with cross‑functional teams—including product management, sales, field operations, and growth and marketing—you will craft compelling messaging, enablement resources, and thought leadership that emphasize Apache Flink’s essential role in the data streaming ecosystem. What You Will Do
Craft compelling and differentiated positioning, messaging, and value propositions for Confluent’s stream processing portfolio, targeting both practitioners and economic buyers. Define and execute compelling product launches (both major and minor), ongoing demand generation campaigns, and adoption programs. Partner with product management to inform roadmap decisions and prioritize features that nurture customer value. Identify product market fit with sales and customer success teams to develop strategies for high‑value accounts and key industries. Guide the creation of high‑quality marketing assets across teams. Train sales and field teams on the unique benefits and differentiation of Confluent’s offerings. Represent Confluent at conferences, events, and webinars as a subject matter expert, sharing insights and connecting with diverse audiences. Conduct market research and competitive analysis to identify trends, opportunities, and challenges in the stream processing space. What You Will Bring
8+ years of B2B product marketing experience in a SaaS, cloud, or enterprise software company, with a focus on data infrastructure, analytics, or cloud‑native platforms. Proven track record of successfully managing and executing go‑to‑market strategies for technical products. Strong ability to collaborate cross‑functionally with product management, sales, customer success, and technical marketing teams. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders in a clear and compelling way. Ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and deliver results with a focus on supporting product adoption and measurable outcomes. What Gives You an Edge
In‑depth understanding of stream processing technologies, including familiarity with tools like Apache Flink, Apache Kafka, or similar technologies for real‑time data streaming. Knowledge of modern data architectures, real‑time analytics, event‑driven architectures, and ETL processes is highly desirable. Familiarity and support of open source technologies and business models. Ready to build what’s next? Let’s get in motion. Come As You Are. Belonging isn’t a perk here. It’s the baseline. We work across time zones and backgrounds, knowing the best ideas come from different perspectives. And we make space for everyone to lead, grow, and challenge what’s possible. We’re proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. Employment decisions are based on job‑related criteria, without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other classification protected by law.
