Senior Technical Product Marketing Manager (m/f/d)

About this role

Ververica is the original creator of Apache Flink and builds the Unified Streaming Data Platform for enterprises that need real-time data infrastructure they can trust. We compete with Confluent, Databricks, and AWS. We win when our technical depth meets better positioning.

This role is remote. You will need to overlap with either Pacific time or Central European time for daily collaboration, and occasionally with the other one.

We are the original creators of Apache Flink®, the stream processing framework that powers critical infrastructure at the world's most demanding enterprises. We deliver Real-Time AI for a world in motion, engineered in Europe, sovereign by design. We provide the only asset that matters to AI: Governed, Absolute Truth.

We are looking for someone who can look at a competitive situation on Monday, translate technically complex content into clear value, ship a battlecard by Wednesday, and see it influence a win by Friday.

### What You'll Do

Own Outcomes, Not Deliverables

• You're accountable for whether positioning actually changes win rates, not whether the deck looks polished. When something isn't working, you diagnose why, fix it, and measure the impact.
• You talk to the people closest to deals, extract patterns, and turn insights into tools that move revenue.

Make Calls Without Permission

• You assess situations, make informed decisions, and move forward. If a competitive threat emerges, you don't wait for consensus on the response.
• You evaluate what matters most, build what's needed, document your reasoning, and ship it. Your manager expects you to own your domain.

Find Leverage, Not Just Complete Tasks

• You identify where small efforts create outsized impact. A single conversation with an architect might unlock a message that resonates better than months of research. A talk track the field actually uses beats a comprehensive guide nobody opens. You focus ruthlessly on what moves deals.

Ship Fast and Iterate
