The next era of software won’t operate at human scale. Applications will create applications. Systems will coordinate with systems. Data and decisions will move faster than teams can react to them. The infrastructure powering that world cannot be fragile, reactive, or limited by the assumptions of the past.
Cockroach Labs exists to build what comes next — before the world requires it.
We created CockroachDB to survive failures, scale without compromise, and adapt to changing conditions automatically. Now we’re helping define a future where complexity fades into the background and infrastructure simply works, no matter the scale.
This is the kind of challenge that attracts people who want to shape industries, not just participate in them. The work is ambitious, the standards are high, and the impact is real.
We're hiring a Senior Partner Marketing Manager to own and amplify the go-to-market motion across CockroachDB's partner and ISV ecosystem. We're looking for someone with strong partner marketing experience, enough technical fluency to speak credibly about what we build, and a track record of turning partnerships into structured, measurable programs that drive awareness and pipeline.
You'll work closely with partner engineering, alliances, and product marketing to build co-marketing campaigns, partner launch playbooks, and joint GTM programs that strengthen CockroachDB's position across cloud, AI, and ISV ecosystems.
You must be based in New York City to be eligible for this role, and will be expected to go into our office on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

In your first 30 days, you'll meet the partner team, audit existing partner content and co-marketing agreements, and map the current integration landscape. You'll also build relationships with corporate marketing, product marketing, and demand gen.
By 60 days, you'll have published your first partner content, launched or planned a co-marketing activation with a priority ISV partner, and established a content and program calendar tied to the integration roadmap.
By 90 days, you'll have a repeatable go-to-market playbook for new partner integrations, active co-marketing programs running with at least two ISV partners, and measurable partner content contributing to awareness and pipeline.
