About Us

Temporal is an open source programming model that can simplify code, make applications more reliable, and help developers focus on the important things like delivering features faster. We are on a mission to be the reliable foundation of every developer’s toolbox, and are building the team that will make that happen.
Our values guide us —they are present in how we show up, make decisions, and work together to make an impact. We’re curious, driven, collaborative, genuine and humble.
Temporal is growing and we are looking for those who share our values, challenge 'standard' thinking, and want to influence our future. If you have a passion for improving the developer experience, building world-class open-source software and communities, and want to be a part of our amazing team, we'd love to hear from you!

Temporal is becoming the foundational infrastructure for AI-powered products. As AI-native companies and research labs move from experimentation to production, they face new reliability, orchestration, and scale challenges that Temporal is uniquely positioned to solve.

We are hiring a Sr Staff Product Marketing Manager to lead product marketing for Temporal’s AI initiatives. This role will define how Temporal is positioned for AI-native companies, AI labs, and AI-driven use cases within traditional SaaS and enterprise organizations. You will own the narrative for why Temporal matters in the era of AI and translate complex, technical capabilities into clear, compelling value for developers, platform teams, and business stakeholders.

This is a “full stack” product marketing role with broad ownership and high impact. You will work closely with product, engineering, sales, and marketing leadership to shape strategy and drive adoption across fast-growing AI segments and use cases.

This role reports to the Director of Product Marketing.

What You’ll Do

• Define and own positioning and messaging for Temporal’s AI use cases across AI-native startups, AI labs, and enterprise customers adopting AI
• Develop clear value propositions for how Temporal supports AI workflows, agents, LLM orchestration, human-in-the-loop systems, and long-running AI processes
• Lead competitive intelligence related to AI infrastructure, orchestration, workflow engines, and adjacent platforms
• Partner with product and engineering to influence roadmap decisions based on market and customer insights
• Plan and execute product launches, announcements, and GTM strategies related to AI capabilities and use cases
• Create high-quality external content including web pages, blogs, solution briefs, case studies, decks, and sales enablement materials
• Enable sales and solutions teams with messaging, pitch narratives, and objection handling for AI-driven deals
• Work with demand gen, developer relations, and comms to ensure consistent AI positioning across channels
• Serve as a subject-matter expert internally on AI market trends, customer needs, and buyer personas
• Measure and iterate on messaging and GTM effectiveness based on customer feedback and market response
