We’re on a mission to secure the software supply chain—and we’re looking for a Partner Marketing Manager who’s ready to champion that mission alongside our strategic cloud partners: AWS, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft Azure. If you thrive in environments where transparency, collaboration, and security-first thinking are core values, this hybrid partner/field/product marketing role will put you at the heart of our go-to-market engine.
You’ll work cross-functionally (and cross-cloud) to architect and execute joint marketing initiatives that illuminate Chainguard’s differentiated approach to open source security and supply chain trust. Think agile campaign execution, high-impact storytelling, and deep partner alignment—with an open source ethos and a bias towards doing the right thing.
How you’ll strengthen the chain- Design and deliver co-marketing strategies with AWS, GCP, and Azure to boost awareness, accelerate customer adoption, and grow a secure pipeline.
- Build authentic relationships with our cloud partners, marketing team, and technical alliances team to elevate joint narratives and amplify integration launches.
- Partner with solution architects and alliances managers to shape messaging that translates technical product capabilities into meaningful stories for practitioners and decision makers.
- Craft high-value partner assets—including solution briefs, technical deep dives, dynamic pitch decks, case studies, webinars, and thought leadership—all focused on modern software supply chain security.
- Work hand-in-hand with sales, BDRs, product marketing, demand gen, and technical alliances to ensure our GTM positioning is tight, transparent, and aligned with our mission.
- Orchestrate integrated campaigns across digital programs, live events, marketplace launches, and cloud partner ecosystems—always measuring impact and iterating with data-driven transparency.
- Own and optimize the cloud partner marketing budget for maximized ROI. You’ll analyze performance rigorously and share actionable insights that keep our strategies adaptive and effective.
- 5+ years of hands-on B2B SaaS, cloud, infrastructure, or security marketing experience, with a proven track record partnering with AWS, GCP, and Azure.
- Demonstrated success leading joint GTM and co-marketing campaigns with major cloud partners.
- Experience collaborating with technical alliances, solution engineering, or cloud architecture teams to launch integrations and co-market joint solutions.
- Masterful storytelling and positioning skills: you can distill complex technical features into compelling customer narratives that drive real outcomes.
- Skilled content creator—whether it’s sales enablement decks, educational assets, or executive briefs—with an instinct for influence and adoption.
- Highly collaborative, low ego, and energized by cross-functional teamwork with sales, marketing, product, and partner teams.
- Background in cybersecurity or supply chain security is a bonus, but deep curiosity and eagerness to learn are essential.
