• Collaborate with sales and customer success teams to develop strategies for high-value accounts and key industries.
• Guide the creation of high-quality marketing assets, including solution briefs, whitepapers, blogs, videos, and webinars.
• Train sales and field teams on the unique benefits and differentiation of Confluent's offerings.
• Represent Confluent at conferences, events, and webinars as a subject matter expert, sharing insights and connecting with diverse audiences.
• Conduct market research and competitive analysis to identify trends, opportunities, and challenges in the stream processing space.
• Partner with product management to inform roadmap decisions and prioritize features that nurture customer value.

What You Will Bring:

• 5+ years of B2B product marketing experience in a SaaS, cloud, or enterprise software company, with a focus on data infrastructure, analytics, or cloud-native platforms.
• Proven track record of successfully managing and executing go-to-market strategies for technical products.
• Strong ability to collaborate cross-functionally with product management, sales, customer success, and technical marketing teams.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders in a clear and compelling way.
• Ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and deliver results with a focus on supporting product adoption and measurable outcomes.

What Gives You an Edge:

• In-depth understanding of stream processing technologies, including familiarity with tools like Apache Flink, Apache Kafka, or similar technologies for real-time data streaming.
