Team Leadership Marketing Strategy Product Marketing Developer-focused Technical Messaging

Job Description

At Timescale, we empower businesses with real-time insights from their data, allowing them to make faster decisions and optimize operations. We are creating a movement to unblock developers who are building the future. Timescale is a product-led growth organization driven by transparent leaders and a globally diverse, remote-first team that is proudly building a modern PostgreSQL cloud platform.

About Timescale

Timescale is the cloud-native PostgreSQL platform used by developers building real-time, time-series, and AI applications. Built on the foundation of Postgres, trusted by thousands of engineering teams, and loved for its power, performance, and flexibility, Timescale helps teams scale faster with fewer tradeoffs.

Our audience is deeply technical. They value clarity over hype, signal over noise, and developer-first storytelling over generic marketing. Our product marketing must reflect that.

The Role

We’re hiring a Head of Product Marketing to lead the team responsible for how Timescale brings products to market—across positioning, messaging, technical storytelling, and launches.

You’ll manage a team of senior individual contributors—experienced PMMs who own messaging, launches, and adoption across product areas. You’ll guide their work, set the strategy, and elevate the quality of everything we ship. This is not a pure people-manager role: you’ll also contribute directly to key launches, positioning work, and developer-facing content.

You’ll work hand-in-hand with Product, Engineering, and Developer Relations to translate roadmap and innovation into clear, compelling, and credible stories. You’ll also collaborate closely with the Distribution & Ops team to scale those stories across web, SEO, paid, and social.

What You’ll Own

Lead and manage a high-performing team of senior PMM ICs
Define and evolve product positioning and messaging—from platform-wide value props to individual product narratives
Drive end-to-end product launches: positioning, content, enablement, and GTM coordination
Personally contribute to strategic product marketing projects, such as flagship launches, integrations, and competitive explainers
Set the bar for developer-first marketing quality across blogs, decks, videos, landing pages, and more
Partner closely with Product and Engineering to ensure technical depth and messaging accuracy
Work cross-functionally with Developer Relations, Community, Content, and Distribution to scale and activate product stories
Build repeatable processes and messaging frameworks that help the team scale with quality and consistency

About You

You’ve led PMM teams made up of senior ICs, especially in developer-first companies (infra, data, OSS, DevTools)
You’re comfortable working closely with engineers and product managers—and can translate specs and architecture into value-driven messaging
You’ve personally led successful product launches and know how to create marketing moments that resonate with developers
You’re a strong storyteller with an eye for clarity, credibility, and technical depth
You know how to coach and guide ICs, helping them raise the bar while staying aligned to business goals
You collaborate fluidly across functions: PM, Eng, DevRel, Marketing Ops, and Sales

You Could Be a Great Fit If You

Have a background in infrastructure, databases, or developer tools
Know what great developer marketing looks like—and what developers instantly ignore
Are just as comfortable editing a blog as you are pitching positioning to technical execs
Have a portfolio of content, launches, or messaging frameworks you’re proud of
Thrive in fast-moving, high-growth environments where you need to lead and execute

You Might Not Be a Fit If

You are not located in or able to travel regularly to the Bay Area or NYC
You prefer managing managers or a highly structured, top-down org
You aren’t comfortable working with technical products and developer audiences
You need rigid role definitions instead of collaborating fluidly across teams

Our Commitment:

We will respond to all applicants
We strive to review all applications fairly, without bias, and shortlist based on relevant skills and experience.
All active candidates will be informed of what is happening next in the process.
